The next shoe will probably be that it isn’t clear that the plane even strayed into Turkish airspace. The main thing, though, is that the Turks sure showed them Ruskkies. Just ask the Cold War obsessed Freepers.

I believe at least one of the Turkish pilots figured the Russian was a sitting duck and wanted the kill.

But I thought Odunga said "Turkey has a right to defend their airspace".. AFTER THE AIRCRAFT HAS LEFT THAT AIRSPACE???

Looks like Odunga prematurely blew his wad AGAIN.

"Russia acted stupidly" before "Turkey acted stupidly"

Turkey has some ‘splainin to do and should suffer the consequences for this. Turkey might be this traitorous administrations friend, but not of America. But, on the other hand, what is Russia doing bombing the Kurd and Turkman rebels up north. They are not IS fanatics.

“... a U.S. official told Reuters, speaking on condition of anonymity.”

Every time I see this statement, I throw out anything based on what the official said.

Notice how we get a few inches closer to the truth? Of course this is after Obama lied.

Now the story starts to change...As I said in an earlier posting, both sides know more than we the public do. Also there is considerable satellite surveillance of the area by everyone particularly since the airliner downing.

Yes, this is the top and bottom of it. According to other reports I've read, the incursion into Turkish airspace lasted "seconds". They key point is that the shoot-down occurred outside Turkish airspace over Syria. This is why Putin is livid and why there will be incoming for Erdogan and his ISIS-loving regime.
