Please try to put politics aside (yes i know some will say its all about politics) and trying to get hard information let alone 'genuine' facts just how serious is this spat ? Throw in Turkey buying a Russian air defence system what is going on here ?

It's the usual manoeuvring and posturing. Think of it as a game of Rock-Scissors-Paper between Russia, Iran and the USA but,with our lives at stake.

No doubt just Trump ensuring the USA defence contractors get to sell even more military hardware around the world.

BBC news summed it up for me yesterday. Iran have lots of "red lines" they know not to cross as it would as it would start a war. They also have "pink lines" that they use to provoke, fairly safe in the knowledge it would not provoke a war. Unfortunately, these lines were drawn up pre-Tump.

Trump’s election pledge was to not fight overseas. Apart from one massive presidential bomb on Syria, he has stuck to his word.

He has,however, sold $billions of arms to others to fight and kill innocents but so do we.
