Their response would be a lot less tepid than a response from our feckless leader.

Putin is defending his last port and interest in the Middle East, if they did down the plane then there would escalation of actions in the Middle East but I believe it would happen regardless.

Typically, ISIS is quick to trumpet how and who carried out any attacks for purposes of praise and propaganda. The fact they haven't in this case raises doubts about their claim. However maybe ISIS is getting wise not to show one's hand and look to use similar methods. However I wouldn't be surprised if the CIA had something to do with it. Some sort of effort to exert some pressure on Russia to back off. In either case I don't see Putin becoming sheepish with Syria. If any thing this will put boots on the ground.

My personal theory is that that plane was shot down by one of the many MANPAD surface-to-air missiles that went missing from Libya. The Sinai branch of Islamic State has it's origins in the West Libya area.
From a strategic perspective, if Putin plays his cards right, he has opportunity to do some joint operations with Egypt.
Slowly but surely, our entire Mideast foreign policy is unraveling.

Hopefully sending a fairly ruthless stern return would be in order.

i have a feeling that they will just keep on doing what they are allready doing. Maybe beef up their presence in the area but thats about it.
