Do some research instead of relying on talking points.
Clinton says she was gone for the 'red line' in Syria incident | PolitiFact

“If you impose a no-fly zone, how do you respond to their concerns?” Wallace asked. “Secondly, if you impose a no-fly zone and a Russian plane violates that, does President Clinton shoot that plane down?”
Clinton stuck to an argument she has made many times: Creating an area where Syrian and Russian planes cannot fly would give the U.S. “leverage” over Syria and Russia to negotiate a political resolution.
“A no-fly zone can save lives and hasten the end of the conflict,” she said.
With proper planning, Clinton argued, the restriction could accomplish those goals without sparking a larger war.
“I am well aware of the really legitimate concerns you have expressed from both the president and the general,” Clinton responded. “This would not be done just on the first day. This would take a lot of negotiation. It would also take making it clear to the Russians and the Syrians that our purpose here was to provide safe zones on the ground.”
Ensuring the safety of civilians in areas of Syria under heavy bombardment from the Syrian and Russian air forces would even “help us in our fight against ISIS,” Clinton argued.

Your "unwillingness for Russian diplomacy" response is too stupid to address.
