After numerous efforts by Moscow to find a solution to the Syrian war via good faith diplomacy (a brutal conflict created in the first place by US/Nato cynical use of tens of thousands of heavily armed Takfiris to topple the Assad government) , repeated betrayals and now a bald-faced invasion of Syria by US forces and its makeshift "coalition" followed by more acts of open aggression, apparently Russia and her allies have had enough. Instead of continuing to offer merely verbal rebukes and complaints, and some equivocal statements, Moscow now has effectively done what it probably should have done a long time ago: show the American Neocons and militarists that force will be met with force. God knows that Moscow and Damascus tried hard to find a just and honorable solution to this horrible "war of choice", but if Washington thinks that sheer brute force and constant bullying is going to intimidate these people, they have another thing coming. Moscow is effectively saying that it will accept so much lying and garbage from Washington, and that beyond that, it is perfectly prepared to countenance WW3 to put a stop to it.

Russian military halts Syria sky incident prevention interactions with US as of June 19 – Moscow

The ministry has demanded a thorough investigation by the US military command into the incident with the Syrian government military jet, with the results to be shared with the Russian side.
“In the areas of combat missions of Russian air fleet in Syrian skies, any airborne objects, including aircraft and unmanned vehicles of the [US-led] international coalition, located to the west of the Euphrates River, will be tracked by Russian ground and air defense forces as air targets,” the Russian Ministry of Defense stated.
Downing the military jet within Syrian airspace “cynically” violates the sovereignty of the Syrian Arab Republic, Russian military said. The actions of the US Air Force are in fact “military aggression” against Syria, the statement adds.
The ministry emphasized that Russian warplanes were on a mission in Syrian airspace during the US-led coalition’s attack on the Syrian Su-22, while the coalition failed to use the communication line to prevent an incident.
“The command of the coalition forces did not use the existing communication channel between the air commands of Al Udeid Airbase (in Qatar) and the Khmeimim Airbase to prevent incidents in Syrian airspace.”
The ministry considers the move “a conscious failure to comply with the obligations under the Memorandum on the Prevention of Incidents and Ensuring Air Safety in Syria,” and is thus halting cooperation with the US within the memorandum framework as of June 19, the statement concluded.

‘No doubt’ US meant to threaten Russia in Syria – analyst
Russia and other countries have raised questions about the legitimacy of the US role in the Syrian civil war. Most recently, the downing of a Syrian Su-22 plane, an act that directly aided Islamic State, provoked the Russian deputy foreign minister to denounce the US posture in Syria as possibly contrary to international law. National security analyst Gareth Porter explains to RT America’s Natasha Sweatte why he believes the US made a “fundamental miscalculation” by using its belligerence toward Syria as a threat Russia and its allies in the region.
