This guy really wants a KGB assassin to send him to Allah and his 72 virgins.
We can always hope. ;)

Anyway,
From what I see here: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-34941093 it tells me Turkey shot down the plane after it left Turkish air space, if it fired 17 seconds after it entered it.

Turkey isn’t exactly a poster child for protecting sovereign territory either; http://www.forbes.com/sites/niallmcc...r-infographic/

Pot, kettle, black. The whole incident reeks.

Deliberate provocation of Russia by Turkey, to involve NATO?
A plan by Turkey and US to hamper cooperation between Russia and other NATO allies?

Your call.

I just wonder what the Greeks can take form this.
