What was the point of downing a Russian jet that was not even threatening Turkey?
I ask this my Turkish brothers. I have read a lot of childish comments from Turkish posters on this thread. They seem consumed by hate for Russia for a reason not known to me.
All are in this war for their interest. It seems Russian and Turkish interests are colliding in Syria.
Turkey is wary of Kurdish insurgency. Its a valid concern. That is why it has been soft on ISIS and allows ISIS oil trade through its territory. ISIS is a bigger danger right now. By fighting ISIS directly Kurds are getting stronger. The only ground forces fighting ISIS are some hodge podge shia militias, Kurd forces and Syrian army.
