The next shoe will probably be that it isn’t clear that the plane even strayed into Turkish airspace. The main thing, though, is that the Turks sure showed them Ruskkies. Just ask the Cold War obsessed Freepers.

It actually depends on who you ask. The map in post #2 (thanks, McGruff) shows that the incident happened over Turkey's Hatay Province. Hatay Province was annexed by Turkey in 1939. Before that the province was aligned with Syria.

The Syrians have never recognized the Turkish annexation of the region. Below is taken from the Wikipedia article on the province:

Syrians hold the view that this land was illegally ceded to Turkey by France, the mandatory occupying power of Syria in the late 1930s. Syria still considers it an integral part of its own territory...Official Syrian maps still show Hatay as part of Syria.

Yeah, there are a few DUmpMonkies posting hers as anti-Russians. They will be the first to be be-headed by those they love. Morons, all of them.
