“That may be the reason Russia provoked Turkey. Rumor has it Turkey is supporting ISIS. This could be the excuse Russia uses to take them out.”
Jeeze, from the published flight paths, the Russians barely dipped into Turkey and certainly didn’t attack Turkey.
But Turkey is DEFINITELY supporting ISIS. I suspect that Russia really wants to field-test their S-400 Ground-to-Air missile system (clearly the best in the world) against NATO...now they have the justification. If I were a Turkish pilot, I would be VERY, VERY, CAREFUL.
——the Russians barely dipped into Turkey——
that is obamaesque pacifist thinking.
the correct thinking is .... give them an inch and they will take a mile
