Definitely an act that justified turkey acting in self defense and starting WW3? Russia clearly going after Turkey here?

Putin may now make sure that SYRIA enjoys the same right to self defense when Turkish forces or their terrorist IS mercenaries attack into Syria
Erdogan opened up a can of whoop ass and now expects NATO to join the party

NATO wont be doing shit. NATO is nothing more than a excuse to get American taxpayers to pay trillions to defend Europe, so they dont have to and can spend their money instead on social programs!

Syria has been sending terrorists into Turkey for decades, and Turkey has been conducting its own operations into Syria as well. Russia is fully responsible for causing this incident, because Russia and the Russian warplane could have complied with international law by turning on its transponder, giving a proper response to the challenges, even if it had some reason to continue forward in a violation of Turkish airspace. It also has to be noted that Russian warplanes have been violating the rules of engagement ever since the last such incident in October, where the Russian aircraft used their weapons’ radar systems to lock-on to the Turkish air defense aircraft as if they were about to fire on them well inside Turkish airspace. These were clear threats intended to intimidate Turkish air defense fighters operating well within their onw airspace above Turkey. If Russia wants to make war, this is the way to do it. If Russia does not want to make war on turkey, they know what they can do to avoid being shot down as they enter Turkish airspace. All the rest is simply pseudo drama.
