Russia vs. Turkey - Syrian Crisis

Telegraph: Reports that Putin Government in Russia wants a justification by Turkey for its interception of a civilian plane between Russia and Syria. 

Lets Get Real: 

This is just show folks, the Russians are NOW saying that there were no military equipment on the Russian plan, one can assume that the CIA told the Turks that the Russians were supplying their old ally from the days of the Cold War.   The Russians are playing a very risky game, Syrians are backed up by Russia and Iran, while if it comes down to it the Turks are members of NATO, and thus the US would have to support any threat to Turkey.   President Obama could not do a Kennedy and sell out Turkey as President Kennedy did in 1962 over the Cuban Missile Crisis.   Thus the Syrian Civil War has the risk of developing in a major regional War, which has global implications for the US and Russia.
