Turkey didn’t F up. They responded to their airspace being violated.

Russia has no military options to respond to Turkey. They got caught with their hand in the cookie jar and got slapped.

They can bomb rebels in Syria, but nothing they can do against the Turks and they will do nothing.

I don’t think this is correct. Listening to Lavarov it sounds like he may be considering accepting the legitimacy of the Kurds which in the end of the day would be a fairly big blow to Turkey. Militarily they aren’t going to start a war but You can hit Syria from the black sea through Turkish airspace. It would be a fairly straight forward message of aggression that no one will really respond to. I don’t know that they’ll do that but it’s definitely an option if they want to send a stronger message. Also, Russia and Turkey have a lot of economic ties and they are going to be revisited. A leader can do a lot for his Country if he loves it. I guess you haven’t had that in few years now so maybe you are forgetting. Strongly worded emails are not the only approach
