One irresponsible nationalist dictatorship has collided with another on the Syrian border. As was inevitable. One of them is in NATO.

A Turkish military statement said the plane violated Turkish airspace in Hatay province and was warned “10 times in five minutes”.

The areas of operations need to be made clearer. Putin, however, feels he owns the entire battle space based on the fellowship of tyrants. Only after ISIS took out a Russian civilian plane did he show any interest in taking on ISIS.
