The flaw in the commie account is that they have been violating Turkeys air space for months and have been warned about it. What’s with the commie supporting brigade here at FR anyway? Erdogan sucks, Putin sucks.WGAS if they shoot at each other?
Putin builds churches!
If you are talking about overflying that tiny little finger of land that pushes into Syria, then F*** the Turks. There is no reasonable objection to the Russians overflying that little land peninsula. It does not constitute anything remotely like a serious airspace violation.
Given that Russia and Turkey had something like a 30 billion dollar annual trade, it makes even less sense to make an issue over it.
Is there any evidence that any Russian aircraft were flying deep into Turkey proper? I bet all these "violations" are regarding that tiny little piece of nothing that sticks into Syria.
Google search how many times the U.S. has been accused of violating someone or others air space. Everyone does it from time to time. Most do not shoot down the plane. There was no threat to Turkey. They are just trying to be in the Syrian war without being officially in the Syrian war.
