    Shooting jet down was an antagonistic response. As someone said Russia constantly invades airspace (including here in the UK) - Imagine the UK shooting a Russian fighter down - now that would be an issue. This will blow over - no WWIII yet guys.

    • Turkey has no ability to win a war and NATO would NEVER back it in its actions - so all it has done is seriously upset it's enemy.fadein11
    • Well, given NATO's agreement is "an attack on one Ally shall be considered an attack on all...", I would still be concerned.ETM
    • So it depends what Russia wants to do.ETM
    • Russia isn't in NATO lol... NATO would not defend this antagonistic action from Turkey.fadein11
    • NATO has said they "stand in solidarity with Turkey and support the territorial integrity" of Turkey. http://www.nato.int/…nb
    • Look at the keyword in your statemend: "said"... I guarantee they will not do anything. Too much to risk/lose. And Russia knows it.fadein11
    • Seriously? I KNOW Russia isn't part of NATO! However if they retaliate against Turkey, see above. Didn't think I had to explain, paint by numbers style.ETM
    • Maybe I better anyway:
      1 - Russia does a retaliatory action that could be define as an act of war.
      2 - NATO states, an attack on one ally is an attack on all.
      ETM
    • 3 - So technically Russia attacks all the allies, per NATO agreement itself.
      4 - One hopes diplomacy prevails, but it's a crazy world.
      ETM
    • And some right-wing U.S. politicians are already saying that if Russia does anything, the U.S. needs to intervene.ETM
    • Russia won't do anything and even if they did NATO will not start a war against Russia - it will find a diplomatic solution - just because the NATO agreementfadein11
    • states something it doesn't mean they do it lol.fadein11
    • lol. fadein11 knows everything about global politics. lol lol lolETM
