    BREAKING - So what we have here is Turkey, a NATO ally shooting down a Russian fighter plane, itself in the act of seeking to destroy Sunni terrorism in Syria, including that of IS, which is, of course, trained by Turkey (hence its passivity in the brutal battle of Kobane, an obvious proof of whose side it is on; in passing, we note IS being financed by Saudi and Qatar (I won't get into IS being an American creation, done that too many times before).  If anyone thought the Russians would be in Syria in perpetuity after the Russian passenger jet takedown over Sinai, then this is the icing on that cake. Let the games begin, and I don't believe they will be war games.
    "
    This huge escalation in the Syrian proxy war, one where a NATO country has openly attacked a non-NATO country (if Russia is correct and it did not violate Turkish airspace), comes after Turkey called this week for a U.N. Security Council meeting to discuss attacks on Turkmens in neighboring Syria, and last week Ankara summoned the Russian ambassador to protest the bombing of their villages.
    Ankara has traditionally expressed solidarity with Syrian Turkmens, who are Syrians of Turkish descent.
    We await a formal reaction by Russia, one which we doubt will be calm, cool and collected and may in fact see the Turkish aggression as an act of war if indeed the Russian Su never entered Turkish territory."
