Sanctions are the latest thing and the Russian foreign minister has said they do not intend to go to war with Turkey. Any thoughts on this? Storm in a teacup or trouble brewing?

I suppose if Turkey reemburse Russian the $20m cost of the plane and a couple or so $m to the cost of the pilots training and his family they might let it slide Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

They said they didnt know it was a Russian plane they shot down otherwise they would have thought twice about it, makes you wonder whos they thought it was if they didnt bother to think?
Looks like theres going to be a glut of Turkish tomatoes coming to a supermarket near you soon then, Russia doesnt want them?

It's a nightmare scenario. On one side you have the Russians, on the other a bunch of Islamic fanatics pretending to be a responsible government. How can you believe either side of the story? Lying is endemic in both "cultures" and violence is a way of life for both. It frightens me that the full might of the US and NATO could be used to back up Turkey if Russia decides to escalate things. I don't think Turkey is worth a dime, let alone going to war for. Lord forbid they ever get into the EU - or at least before we get out of it. Ours - 2008 Stornoway Grey HSE Auto
