Well quite a while ago I posted that was the main issue…a lot of monkeys with big sticks in a small area.
It is not clear if F16 shoot down the SU 24 or from the ground. The big issue is the Russian already says that it was in Syrian airspace and they can prove it.
The pilots parachuted out (thank God) and a Turkish helicopter went to retrieve the pilots. Apparently it was shot at by Syrian Turkmenistan (technically pro Turkey but forgotten and apparently pissed off) and the fate of the pilots is unclear.
Naturally the stock market future sank.
Hopefully everybody will try to de escalate. Let’s not think alternatives.
