Default No fly zone over Syria is suicide

I've been warning of Hilary Clintons insane plans for a no fly zone over Syria.Now it's been debated in the house of commons as to whether Britain should be involved and our war planes sent over to help enforce it.
This would be suicide.Direct conflict with Russia would be near inevitable.

'Much was made in this week’s Commons debate on Syria of the need for a no-fly zone over Aleppo. Given that the Syrian government and the Russians have a monopoly of air power over the city, the idea of denting or deterring it might seem attractive. Hillary Clinton also advocated such a zone in Sunday’s presidential TV debate.'

'Last month in a Congressional hearing, General Joseph Dunford, chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, was asked what he thought about the imposition of a no-fly zone to halt the barrel-bombing in Aleppo.
His response was clear. "Right now", said the highest ranking US serving officer, "for us to control all of the air space in Syria would require us to go to war against Syria and Russia; that's a pretty fundamental decision…"
Russia effectively controls Syrian air space, having deployed highly capable S-400 air defence missiles and radars at its Syrian base.
It has now brought in S-300 missiles, which have an additional capability against other missiles.
And Russian warships in the Mediterranean could add to the air defence shield. Enforcing a no-fly zone would require a willingness to down Russian and Syrian aircraft in a highly contested environment.
Typically any US operation to institute such a zone would require enemy air defences to be destroyed at the outset. A US strike against Russian SAMs (surface to air missiles) is surely unthinkable.
Russian spokesmen have warned the Americans off - making it clear that any attack even on Syrian government forces by the Americans will be viewed as an attack on Russia.'
