Wily E. Coyote, SuperGenius, is arguing that a vote for Hilary Clinton means we'll go to war with Russia. The proximate cause of that war would be declaration of a no-fly zone in Syria. This article clearly outlines why a no-fly zone isn't feasible or desirable. Clinton has been told (if she didn't already understand) all of the points in the article and probably a few not stated therein.

I also note that, at the last debate, Clinton walked back her no-fly zone, stating that we would exercise diplomacy to get the Russians to agree to such a zone. Personally, I suspect the Russians would not agree for love nor money, but saying we need their buy-in strongly suggests that if we don't get that buy-in flying will continue.

In short, somebody should focus more on catching roadrunners then on foreign policy.
