As is always the case, Obama runs his mouth without running his brain.

Like Russia was attacking targets in Turkey? The plane flew through a small corner on it’s way to or from ISIS targets.

I am not seeing the problem here to be honest. You fly in a states air space after being warned not to you get shot down. Says nothing about the players. Says everything about self defense.

It’s a good thing for Turkey to defend its border but it’s a bad thing for us to defend our own?

To: bigdaddy45
You think that’s why Obama said what he did?
