You are not getting the picture..
Russia is not there to fight ISIS, despite the propaganda that you have apparently believed.
Russia is there to save Assad’s butt. That’s it..
As per usual, as implied by history going back nearly 100 years now, the Russians have little or no respect for borders or sovereignty of adjacent countries.
It’s a simple tactical matter to keep their aircraft off that Turkish border. They have the assets, ie: slower flying planes and choppers to do what they need to do near that border yet they have totally ignored warnings.
It was not that long ago that we had similar issues with Turkey when we invaded Iraq. We made adjustments tactically.
IMO, the blame for this falls squarely on Putin or one of his generals. It was avoidable. Totally so...
As I have already said, we are in the throws of WWIII as we speak. When it happens, Muslims, ISIS, and Turkey will not be the issue.
If so, why still should we even protect Turkey with the NATO alliance? They have been a thorn to us long enough, and have been living free on the defenses provided.
Time to let them re-join their muslim community.

Good, Assad protects Christians and is worth defencing. Russia is bombing both ISIS and the alNusra (another name for al-Qaeda) linked Sunni rebels who are just as bad if not worse because they can actually eventually take Damascus.
