Joe Pappalardo, Popular Mechanics: What a U.S.-Russian War in Syria Could Look Like
The war in Syria started as a civil conflict, became a regional meltdown and molted into an international crisis. Here's how it could evolve into a world war.
The following scenario is fictional, but it's based on open source reports of military hardware currently deployed in and around the Middle East.
Part One: Interception and Escalation
The cockpit of an F-22 Raptor is a lonely place. Despite all the talk about network-centric warfare, integrated sensors, and information sharing, the Raptor pilot is alone in the sky. Today, the single-seat stealth warplane is flying solo on a mission in "contested airspace"—sanitized military jargon that means enemy missiles are pointed skyward. It's safer to fly alone. Any escorts would just alert the Syrian and Russian radar crews below to the presence of the F-22.
WNU Editor: This is a work of fiction .... and bad fiction at that. But I am sure that in the bowels of the Pentagon and in the Kremlin that are some military analysts who are playing out these scenarios right now.

Putin will become President of Syria and Assad will become deputy
soon Syria will be annexed to Russia
next annexation is Iraq, Afghanistan, and etc.
US efforts is becoming totally waste in killing terrorists.
WAR table
US and its allies vs Russia, China and its allies
Russia and its allies vs China and its allies
one World Leader, one world Currency, one World Policy > RUSSIA
No place i would rather be than the cockpit of an f22 raptor.
But my range is limited, my ammunitions inaccurate and unreliable.
If only it was a captured f22 with integrated systems from various other warmachines.
