I’m divided on this issue.
On one hand, both the Turks and the Russians are dicks.
On the other hand, Turkey is a NATO member.
However, at least the Russians are siding against ISIS.
As long as NATO doesn’t get involved, I’ll call it a hard lesson learned by the Russians not to invade other countries’ air space.
Pretty much where I come down. Russia needs to be a good neighbor and not a bully. Turkey needs to be as aggressive against ISIS as it abuses Turkey’s sovereign borders as it’s now proven it can be against Russia.
Turkey has sided with Islamic terrorists for many years. Every time the US wants to fly into their air space, we have to beg, plead and bow down to their demands. Nope, I'm on Russia's side in this.
As for that map. It's BS. Click on the planes to see how many of those are listed as "approaching" xyz air space. Approaching doesn't mean they were inside someone's air space.
