    Now that I think about it maybe these ISIS guys aren't all that stupid and are actually banking on it? I'm sure bombing the crap out of where they are only throws the region into more turmoil and lowers the standard of living for everyone there.....which will turn the region into an even bigger terrorist breeding ground. Also, the more collateral damage the better it is for ISIS. Much easier to recruit people who have had a family member killed by a foreign force.

    Putin will not want to have egg on his face over this - he has a big ego.

    I suspect he will amp up his military aggression in the region.

    This bombing (if this be the case) will be like the rock thrown at the hornets nest.

    Putin will become the bee in their bonnet.

    Not very smart to retaliate like that, they are dealing with Stalin....err I mean Putin, not Obama. I think ISIS just ensured Russia's continued activity in the region.

    Here in the States, all news agencies are reporting a US satellite picked up a "heat flash" at the time and in the vicinity of this downed Russian aircraft.

    Pentagon sources are now publicly saying they "highly suspect" it is an ISIS or an ISIS affiliate bombing event from inside the aircraft - perhaps an inside job by ground crew loading the plane with an explosive device(s) prior to departure.

    UK and Ireland have grounded all flights to this Egyptian airport flight destination.

    Tourism to Egypt is down - been down for a year and not getting any better.

    This is a definite game changer.... and more complicated than ever.

    A Russian plane carrying more than 200 passengers from the Egyptian resort of Sharm el-Sheikh is believed to have crashed in central Sinai.

    A statement from the prime minister’s office said Sherif Ismail had formed a cabinet-level crisis committee to deal with the crash. The new announcement follows conflicting reports from Egyptian officials that the plane had made contact in Turkish airspace and was safe.

    It is understood to be a passenger plane from the Russian airline Kogalymavia, also known as Metrojet. It was destined for St Petersburg, with 217 passengers and seven crew onboard. Russian plane crashes in Egypt after leaving Sharm el-Sheikh | World news | The Guardian
