So bottom line it's a proxy war on Russia and we're willing to arm AQ to win it.
One F-4 flying near the border with a civil war going on ? That's pretty weak imho.
That is your interpretation. I do not see where there is a proxy war. Should the US which to have a "proxy war" regarding Russia, Iran, not Syria would be the place for it to happen.
"Not only is Turkey supplying light arms to select battalion commanders, it is also training Syrians in Istanbul". There is more going on than one plane.
Syrian rebels say Turkey is arming and training them
And America is providing the "rebels'" with "non-lethal" aid. The most stable thing that could happen would be an Assad victory and a return to status quo. Russia would still have what they want but so what ? What's in it for the US to have Assad ousted?
Back up your position with reasoning, facts and references.
