I agree with you and feel the same.Hence my thread the other day on my worries of the US and Russia both conducting bombing campaigns in the same region.Mistakes happen as we saw the other day when US jets bombed the Afghan hospital.It seem tensions are gradually raising slowly but surely.
Also there has been Russian jets entering Turkish airspace recently who i believe are a member of NATO.The west takes that very seriously.

"NATO member Turkey accused Russia of violating its airspace at least twice over the weekend, and warned it will activate its rules of military engagement if such intrusions are repeated."
