lone wolf:
The ripple effect of this will take a week or two to play out, but the longer term issues are beginning to concern me.
the long term issues are frightening. Turkey has declared itself a supporter of ISIS. Russia is now going to go after turkeys child -ISIS even harder.
Whatever one says about sovereignty, the russian aircraft vectors were never pointed at a Turkish target, in fact whichever map you use, the russian aircraft was exiting Turkish airspace when it was hit.
If Turkey tries this again, then watch out.
As an aside, Erdogan's son had better have a good bodyguard.
