You know there are "mothers" who kill their own children? Not that you're necessarily wrong but thats a shaky line of reasoning. Giving birth doesn't magically turn someone into a benevolent creature unable to commit violence.

A false flag might be agreeable since it's unclear enough.

Blaming Russia, I doubt it. Russia doesn't want more presence of the US the middle east. They even keep to only insult and threat Turkey after the SU-24 shootdown.

Some party who would like more US involvement is IMO more likely the culprit. Or some party within the US who would profit.
