It was more shot down for not adhering to Turkish warnings than for violating their airspace tbh. They supposedly gave 10 warnings and the pilot did not change course, so they shot it down.

They also say they weren't aware at the time that the jet was Russian, and that they tried to rescue the pilot and WSO after they had ejected.

I'm inclined to believe the Turkish more than the Russians, although I feel like they have exaggerated it a little. Russia deliberately strays into restricted airspace all the time, to "test" the reaction time of the country. Almost every month a Russian bomber flies over the south of the UK apparently completely unaware that it has done so and gets escorted back out. Something was bound to get shot down some time.

russia being in NATO would ruin America's global plans. America forms all these coalitions, economic policies, intercontinental alliances so they can gang up and put pressure on opposing nations like Iran, China, and Russia, so putting one of these nations into those groups just goes against the ideas that founded the group in the first place.
