Russia is bombing ISIS and Syrian rebels who are fighting against Assad. If those rebels happen to be ethnic turks then they happen to be ethnic turks. Turkey essentially joined the conflict by shooting down the plane. It is important to see that because if Russia is to blame NATO is suppose to have their back. Turkey should not be allowed to fight in Syria via the so-called ethnic Turks and suffer no consequences in their own country. This is a plot to manipulate NATO support.
If Russia was violating Turkey’s airspace, why was the plane shot down in Syria where those rebels could shoot down the pilots? It is all very fishy.
The plane crashed in Syria. Whether or not it was in Turkish airspace at the time it was fired on is what is in question.
And it’s not all that fishy to me. The Russians have been making incursions into Turkish airspace for quite some time now as was reported last month.
Turkey got tired of playing the game. Not fishy at all.
