Telegraph: Reports the following on the shoot down of a Turkish military plane by Syria, the article notes the following, " ..Western powers scrambling over how to respond. ".
Lets Get Real:
One can assume folks that Moscow will be on the line to the Oval and trying to get the Oval to place pressure on Turkey not react in a military manner, the Putin Regime in Russia has blocked any UN action but it has no control over Turkey should it take military action. President Obama will be spending some time in the Situation Room in the White House looking at how Turkey will act, if Turkey uses force then all bets are off, the US will have to back Turkey, this could force Iran to build up its support for the Assad Regime. In Moscow it would force the hand of Putin, does he still support the Assad Regime, even with attack helicopters that could be used on Turkish troops, if you want a real crisis look at the Turkish action should Russian attack helicopters be used on their troops. It only needs a local commander to miss read this crisis for there to be a regional war. Lets hope Israel does not get used as target practice by the Assad Regime.
