So the Turks shoot down a plane for entering their airspace and the way they are going to launch a CSAR effort into Syria’s airspace? Totally implausible. The Turks seem to have some serious regrets over this.
“Totally implausible.”
There is nothing the least bit implausible about that. Turkey has been conducting air and ground military operations into Syria for decades under the authority of the Charter of the United Nations and its authorization to use military force against another sovereign nation and its territory in self defense. This condition for authority has been satisfied throughout the past decades by the continuing infiltration of hostile and heavily armed guerilla forces from Syria. The Syrian government can protest and conduct armed opposition against the Turkish military operations making incursions into Syria for the purpose of defending Turkey’s borders, but Syria remains the aggressor subject to such defensive actions by Turkey until such time as Syria secures its own borders, stops sponsoring and/or suppresses armed guerilla operations making incursions into Turkey from Syrian territories, and normalizes bi-lateral diplomatic and military relations with Turkey.
