Who knows where the truth lies but I was always suspicious of Turkey’s evidence that the downed Russian plane was in Turkish airspace. This could easily have been doctored.
My guess is that Russia had on previous occasions been in Turkish airspace a few times but had stopped this. Turkey is now on Bad Vlad’s shiite list which is not a good place to be. One false move....and.....
ZeroHedge reports that “Putin effectively accused the US of leaking the coordinates of the Russian plane to Turkey, which was merely a hitman acting with the blessing of the Pentagon.” (I think the same story appeared in the Mirror.) So the Russians reported the coordinates to the US as part of the deconflicting effort.
I was wondering how come two Turkish jets just happened to waiting in the right spot for the Russian jet. Now I know. It was a setup. And guess who ordered the setup.
