If Turkey's flight maps are correct (I mean, it is Turkey after all), then what exactly did Putin expect to happen?

It's not as if this was the first time though, they do this all the damn time.

There is absolutely no excuse at all for killing the pilots though.

The F-16 crossed into the syrian border, to shoot down the russian bomber, when it was flying away from the border.


What is the excuse there ? Shoot it down as punishment because they tought it violated airspace , by violating syria's airspace ?

Like I said, if Turkey's map is correct.

exactly.

Very interesting video here - former commander of NORAD in Alaska during the Cold War says there were many instances of Soviet planes flying into their airspace, but that they "would never do anything like that" (shoot them down). This during the Cold War, and he's making these comments on Fox News, which obviously is very anti-Russian.

Isn't that like exactly what they should say to deescalate tensions?

How is that statement deescalating tension? It's a partisan statement at a time of uncertainty, a verbal attack on Russia without any clarity on what actually occurred yet. The Australian foreign minister called for cool heads and a thorough investigation. That's the sort of rhetoric you want to hear at such precarious juncture in the conflict.

And now we're seeing admissions by the U.S. that Turkey could have been at fault. The U.K. were way to keen to lay blame on Russia. They, as well as NATO have been picking a fight with Russia for a while now.

Sorry but Putin is to be blamed for all that mess.

He goes alone without coordinating with the coalition forces and expects no accidents there ? Give me a break.

Dunno, maybe the same thing that happened on each of the 2244 times that Turkish fighters entered Greek airspace last year:

Absolutely nothing?

Who are in the "Syria democratic forces" ?

What is worse for Turkey is the killings of the pilots.

What do you expect from an ISIS supporter?

Another foreign one. But it's all revenge from the bombs in a country they don't live in. But at least Rebel is consistent. Russia targeted schools and hospitals, but you didn't hear a tweet from the self-loathing left wing. As soon as Paris was attacked; they came out of their caves to lecture us about how it's France's own fault.

Because any other statement would acknowledge it as an act of war. They obviously tried to downplay the incident.

Countries that are supposed to be neutral to each other generally don't shoot at first sight.

Evidence recently emerged that the US bombed a hospital in Syria, everyone immediately rushed to dismiss it as an unfortunate accident, just collateral damage.

Putin is crying for two criminal pilots who were there to bomb civilians only

Civilians like those innocent and nice young men who were right there ready to help them descend a bit quicker.

The US incident was in Afghanistan, and the "Taliban intel" came from the ANA, so they can take the rap for that.

I think the incident in Syria recently was from Russian planes.
