Not good for NATO if by some chance it is actually true.

NATO will be lucky not to dissolve under Obama’s watch.

Depends upon whether or not it’s true and Russia goes after Turkey.
That’s at the worst case scenario. From the source it’s looking like it’s true.

They warned them ten times over a five minute period. Mixed reports are out there. One report says one of the pilots has been captured.

Both Turkey and Russia have confirmed the downing. What’s in dispute is the location of the shoot down.

Turkey better have all the facts right. Russia may well arm the Kurds Next.

I did not realize drones could have 2 pilots parachuting.
