We should just treat Turkey like Turkey treated us during the Gulf War.

wouldn’t this be all over every station? even if there was a hint it might be true, stations would say “Russian plane possibly shot down” but there’s nothing

It feels worse when there's no news...

Could have something to do with the fact that buried down there in the story is the phrase “unconfirmed report”.

““hovering” jets sounds suspicious”

Not to mention “difficult”.

It sounds like testing airspace is a common practice. Three years ago Syrian airspace was being “tested” by NATO (or so some media claim) when it was shot down by Syria.

Don’t the Turks use US-made aircraft?

If this is true, it’s REALLY REALLY bad.

I'm sure you're right. But doesn't it also suggest that U.S. fighters, even in the hands of Turks, can waste Russkis?
