Turkey may be lying. I don’t know. What I do know is I would never assume one nation is lying simply because a Russian pilot says so. Russians have NEVER been known for their honesty.

The facts tend to support the Russians. In any event, there is no justification for a shoot down of a non-threatening plane that for the sake of argument at most spent 17 seconds in Turkish airspace. Anyone who takes a contrary view would be supporting Breshnev’s shootdown of KAL 007, which was a sustained incursion in Soviet (not Russian) airspace. It seems there are a lot of McCainiac Neocons commenting on this story (not referring to you).
