i don't know why turkey is messing with the ruski bear. turkey's been buying oil from daesh so i can see why turkey wants to mess with russia but still

[Dr Frook]

seems like insanity...

Seems fun is about to ensue :3

Also tbh, I don't think I'd call this a legit error.
Like who the hell shoots down a Russian plane, even if its like 2 km in your airspace...
I mean Turkey is doing exercises in the Aegean (well, above it) all the time and its all chill.
So shooting down a plane of a country legit ready to shower you with fire, must at the very least be some extreme action by an individual, or part of something larger.

Turkey should have simply escorted the Russian jet out of it's airspace... that is normal practice. What Turkey did shows that they are realllly upset with Russia bombing their allies in the Syrian war. Though this is a miscalculation and will just make the situation horrible between the two countries and Nato. Turkey needs to learn some self control.

according to the Pentagon, the russian plane was in turkish airspace for "a mere two or three seconds" so i feel like turkey was just waiting to attack russia

Most of the world however is holding it's breath for what Putin says, difference between World War 3 and such.

russia was carrying out bombings on syria, right? turkey must have gotten scared if they were going to be bombed by russia, though im not sure if russia really was bombing, ignore this if im wrong.

No chance.

I bet my money on oil, since Russia mainly bombs ISIS oil trucks and such, and it is known to some extent that the Turkish govt has dealings with ISIS over it.
So that could make sense

Well, Russia said they admit to it, but they are sending air defence missiles to Syria so I suppose no nuke rain yet
