The CIA has been arming ISIL and the rebels since 2011, we are letting ISIL help get rid of Assad. The assumption is that once Assad is gone that the Iranian, the Iraqis and the US would then take care of ISIL. Putin kinda messed that all up.
Because removing foreign leaders from power and supporting/arming various rebel/islamic terrorist groups has worked out so well for the CIA/US Government in the past.....
The Russian Su-24 military jet was shot down by a Turkish F-16 over Syrian territory while returning to Khmeimim airbase, the Russian Defense Ministry has confirmed.
The Ministry's Twitter says that “analysis of the objective monitoring data” showed the downed SU-24 jet did not violate Turkish air space.
Earlier in the day, Russian President Vladimir Putin said he regards the downing of the SU-24 as “a stab in the back” by “terrorist accomplices,” adding that Turkey gets the flow of oil from Islamic State-controlled territories.
President Putin said the SU-24 pilots “were conducting an operation to fight ISIS in northern Latakia which is a mountainous area where the rebels – mostly from the Russian Federation – are stationed. In this sense they were carrying out their duty to make preventive strikes on terrorists who could return to Russia at any time.”

Yep. Too many times. Good for Turkey. Putin's a bullie.

Turkey remains a friend of Russia, stated Russian President Vladimir Putin, reported the Gazeta news site of Russia.
“Turkey is one of the primary partners of ours and our good friends,” Putin stressed. “Turkey is [also] one of our biggest trade and economic partners.”
He added that Russia is one of Turkey’s key partners in the energy sector.
turkey has a right to defend their own airspace from anyone not considered an ally, and if the russians want to push the issue, let them. their pilots have done the same thing to US aircraft violating russian airspace, so what is good for the goose, is good for the gander.
There are no ISIS in the area. US armed forces have confirmed, the Russian pilot was warned ten times and did not comply, so they shot the plane down.
I hope they learned the lesson.
Guess you didn't read it all

Sorry I don't just take US government words especially when they make statements as such "Col. Warren used the word “incursion” to describe the Russian flight, but also said the command was studying radars and other data, such as radio chatter, to make a definite conclusion." They also shot a plane down over Syria border not Turkey.

You people are out of your minds. Here we are, barreling into WWlll and you hope the Russians "learned their lesson".
