The United States believes Russia’s incursion into Turkish airspace on Tuesday likely lasted only a matter of seconds before Turkey shot down a Russian warplane, a U.S. official said, saying the assessment was based on preliminary indications.
The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the United States was still investigating the incident.

This is how World Wars start. Is there any NATO command and control over the skies in Syria? If we have the Russians there - a nuclear power second to the USA - then it did not occur to the powers that be that they need an extra level of control over the Turkish fire button?
Is there anyone in this Obama admin who is not stupid and or incompetent that they would not have NATO brass on the ground coordinating with Turkey seeking to avoid misunderstandings?
The other alternative is this was on purpose.
