Perhaps my being a bit of a stickler for context is an issue for some readers?It shouldn’t be. Without a broader understanding, not saying one that is complete or all encompassing because that’s not possible, simply having a fuller grasp of any given situation, we'll avoid the appearance of wild accusations made for no good reason.Abdullah provided some all important context to this situation.

India is denying Pakistan’s allegations.  Apparently there is video of an “angry mob” and some hapless pilot being rescued.

If you think I'm tough on the Usreael Kurds... Assad is tougher still. He's also quite clear on US responsibility for beginning the destabilization.. before 2011, of course, but officially 2011 is when it began. With the help, encouragement and support of Israel and Jordan.  Despite nonsense about the Syria destabilization having to do with climate change..

The news from this post connects to today's earlier report:
