    That's what I'm thinking. The democratic table will prove it's worth now if not to stop something more catastrophic, that's if Putin even bothers to sit down with the way he's been talking of late.

    I think Turkey shooting down a Russian fighter jet deserves it's own thread. That's pretty big news.

    True. At the time it was just a jet, they must've updated their story in that time.

    Surely Russia wouldn't be so quick as to declare war on a NATO nation... would it?

    The pilot was reportedly warned 10 times in five minutes they were violating Turkey's airspace before the jet was shot down.

    Russia adamant that the plane was never in Turkish airspace.

    One of the pilots is in the hands of Turkmen forces in northern Syria, CCN Turk said, citing local sources.

    CNN Turkey is reporting that 2 helicopters were in the air to rescue the pilots but there were clashed on the ground. This doesn't sound good at all.

    Can image Turkey getting a few "What the * were you thinking" phonecalls today. If the downed jet landed in Syria you would have to say that it must have been pretty close to not being in Turkish airspace, if it even was at all.

    incident even confirmed?

    Russian warplane 'in turk airspace' an excuse for Erdogan to intervene on ISIS's behalf..

    Though if it was in Turkey's airspace then why did it crash in Syria?

    Turks never do anything unless they have support from someone.

    Turkey are like the Efe Ambrose of NATO. Always dropping a *; whether it's by shelling the Kurds while they are trying to hold of Daesh or escalating * out of the situation by downing a Russian Fencer. I bet Erdogan will have a few roastings on the phone from the rest of NATO today. * like this starts World Wars ffs.
