Washington (CNN)Russian involvement in the 4½-year-old Syrian civil war seems to be escalating, with NATO's secretary general confirming Tuesday a second incursion by Russian planes into Turkish airspace and saying Russian ground troops were in Syria as well.

"It's unacceptable, it's dangerous, and it's reckless behavior and it adds to the tensions," Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg told CNN about the incursions into Turkish airspace.

"We see the violation of the Turkish airspace becomes more important, more dangerous, because it happens in a context where we see more fighting, more Russian military presence in Syria."

Stoltenberg expressed alarm over how the Russian military grows on several fronts in Syria.

1. Airspace is "violated" and "penetrated" and "intruded"..... Big words for a plane crossing a

fictional line in the air for a few minutes doing nothing but flying around aimlessly......but how else to justify the massive militaries of the world but to inflate small things with big words?

False wars need false alarms.

5. We are the worlds greatest and most powerful empire now.

And no one can say a word about it if we do it.
And we as democrats can't either because we have a democratic president and it would show disloyalties to the party...(if you criticize the leader of the party tho other crazy party will win)
So the peace nicks are silenced and the war mongers just sniker at the spot they are in.

And that is just how fucked up things are now.

4. "Washington (CNN)Russian involvement in the 4½-year-old Syrian civil war seems to be escalating"

The light dawns, eh?

7. This all reminds me of the movie "Mars Attacks"

In the White House, the President is talking about misunderstandings and in the spaceship, the Martians are looking at Playboys and laughing at the government.

Russian moves are unacceptable said NATO. I can just see Putin watching porn and laughing his head off.

9. Yep. nt

6. NATO should turn it over to the Russians.

We didn't learn enough from Vietnam not to have Iraq. It's their turn to not learn from Afghanistan.

Wash our hands of the bullshit and be done with it.

10. What's NATO going to do?

Say that they're "outraged" or something like they always do? Puh-leeaze.
