Russian air strikes and cruise missile attacks against ISIS in Syria demonstrated their willingness to take the war to the takfiri and sent a message to the US and NATO regarding their capabilities. This demonstration of sophistication of weaponry clashed greatly with the news the the US had bombed a MSF hospital in Kunduz. The expansion of Russian bombing targets prompted Moon of Alabama to write:
“The U.S. and NATO also make loud noise when two Russians planes violate Turkish airspace (to test the Turkish radars and reaction times :-). But 11 nations in the U.S. coalition regularly violate Syrian airspace to pinprick ISIS and I have yet to see any “western” complaining about that. There will now be more talks between Russia and Turkey, Israel and the U.S. about avoiding air incidents. The Russians will likely simply say “just stay away.”‘
The international implications of the US bombing the hospital were further complicated by confused and changing messages from DC. On the international front, it appears that Russia is gaining in support in European nations and is putting together something more that the Coalition of the Coerced.
