Guardian - Live Blog: Reports in its 5.34pm the following post, " On the downing of the Russian plane, Obama says it has the right to defend its territory and its airspace, and stresses the importance of Turkey and Russia working to de-escalate the situation. He says if Russia concentrates on Isis there would be fewer chances of mistakes. “The problem has been Russia’s focus on propping up Assad rather than concentrating on Isil.” "
Lets Get Real:
The problem that President Obama has is that he is getting flak from Republicans and Democrats for not hitting Daesh hard enough, now he has Turkey a NATO member taking down Russian fighter, the Oval has to be supportive of Turkey but also keep the tensions down and have the Russians talk to the Turks, and get some areas of control were they will not get messed up with each other. Any weakness by President on this issue will open him to attack from the Republicans that he is not defending an ally. The twos sides, Russia and Turkey should have some harsh rhetoric, get it out of their system and then let the issue die. If any takes other military then we have a new ball game, lets hope we never reach that point.
