Guess what is coming to Syria.

A “no-fly zone” requested the by legitimate and recognized government of Syria.

Backed up by Russian ADA.

Now if Turkey can shoot down a Russian plane that at most violated a sliver its airspace for just a few seconds and was never a threat and obama thinks that is just dandy.

Imagine what is now coming.

Imagine what is now coming.

Roast Turkey for Thanksgiving?

The Russians have been repeatedly and deliberately violating Turkish airspace, and ignoring warnings. The Russians were doing this to intimidate the Turks. "We will violate your airspace at will and you will not do anything about it." The Turks did not comply. Whether or not they had U.S. clearance, I certainly do not know. I doubt Obama would have agreed. The Russians are defending Assad. The Turks are defending ethnic Turks (Turkmen) living in Syria. Turkmen are a substantial minority in the southern Caucus and unrest among the Turkmen is something the Russians do not want to deal with.
