Well, this sounds like it could escalate rather quickly. Here’s Sen. Lindsey Graham saying the U.S. should shoot down Russian warplanes if the Russians bomb Syrian forces supported by the U.S.:
If the Russians actually believed we would shoot down their planes, they wouldn't bomb the safe havens in Syria. — @LindseyGrahamSC

Graham also thinks Donald Trump needs to “up his game” if he wants to be president:
"If he’s gonna be President of the United States, he needs to up his game,” says Graham of @realDonaldTrump.

Graham went on to talk about nuclear threats from North Korea and Iran, which might not be such a big deal for voters if we’re still at war with Russia over Syria and Assad:
If the next president doesn't put Iran & N. Korea in a box in terms of nuclear capability, we will live to regret it. — @LindseyGrahamSC pic.twitter.com/VF1YXG8yOf

Graham also wants to know if Clinton and Trump would use military force to stop NKorea from developing missile that could hit US. pic.twitter.com/xnYzgRO2J9
