“Do you think that 50 years hence they will refer to these events like the assassination of the archduke in WW1?”
Certainly not. The assassination of the Archduke was not the actual cause of the First World War. Kaiser Wilhelm and Germany had long planned and scheduled the onset of the First World War. The final events were used as an excuse for what was already being set underway. British intelligence had an agent/s working for them inside the German general staff, so the British Government was warned a few years ahead of time the details of the German plans for the upcoming war. Winston Churchill used this intelligence to take the British currency off of the gold standard, so Britain could go to the American banks and borrow war funds at discounted prices. After the war was over, the British Government reneged on repayment of the war debts and put British currency back onto the gold standard.

‘Shooting down of jet could be game changer for Russia and Turkey’
Sukhoi-24 are deep air interdiction tactical bombers. They are mainly used in aheavy ground bombardment. Who was it bombing? The Turkmen fighters [Syrian Turkmen Army], who are ethnic Turks fighting against the Syrian regime with Turkey’s backing. We are talking about 5,000-9,000 Turkish-speaking fighters. They were under heavy attack by the Syrian forces who have been supported by the Russians and Iranians for a long time. There has been some frustration in Turkey about that.
One reason is that following the Paris attacks and due to the talks between the US and Turkey during the G-20 summit in Antalya, Ankara and Washington were discussing the prospects of an enhanced and intensified joint air operation over Syria. This operation was planned, as we understand, to be in support of some anti-Assad elements on the ground in Syria, like the Free Syrian Army and Turkmen forces. In return, the Syrians, Russians and Iranians moved against the Turkmen forces on the ground, as a “proxy punishment” against Turkey. The Russian aircraft was flying to bomb Turkmen forces.
