Turks vs. Russians - what is going on?!?

[peacetraveler22]

Damn, what wildness in the world now! I awoke to news of the military incident with the Russian jet. Now, a news flash on RT that the pilots were shot dead in the air while trying to parachute. Who should we believe? Russia's version of the incident varies wildly from that of the Turks and the U.S., who claim 10 warnings were given before the jet was taken down. Now, there will undoubtedly be bans on yet another prime tourist destination for Russians. It is reported that there are already demands to evacuate tourists from Turkey and cancel the visa-free regime until Turkish officials issue an apology. Who and what should we believe? What is going on?? Nothing is clear, just like this blurry photo, where I photobombed a shot with a random Russian man in some remote town last winter. I don't even remember the name of the city, but when I look at this photo, I always smile. And we can all use some laughter and a brief moment of humor on this day.

I don't even know what to say, or how to analyze this situation, because I'm no expert in foreign or military affairs. How will Putin and NATO react? Who do you believe? Today the French flags are hanging in Washington, DC because Francois Hollande is visiting Obama. Now is a rare chance for you to express your opinions about the political and military situation in this blog. I know you are all experts! :) I will read all your comments, but don't have time to answer everyone...

Bad development. Turks just revealed who they are really supporting in this conflict and this is not even NATO or US or Russia with Iran. Turkey was a safe heaven for terrorists during Chechen war, they are buyers of ISIS oil and they provide munition supply corridor. Now it is all rising to the state level, it is all consistent.
There is a saying in Russia - Ворон ворону глаз не выкюет. . == Dog does not eat dog.. (dogs do though...)

Russia is sharing mission info with US, they may not share the information with Turks. As a result, Turks acted as executors of what Senator Lindsey Graham wants : "I would literally shoot [Putin's] planes down if he attacked the people we trained because we have to do that,"
Bad puppet show.
