Russia strikes back at Turkey.

Bair baiting is a dumb sport. Especially when the bear is the Russian bear. Turkey had downed a Russian plane and lied about the reason. Not only that, but one of the pilots was killed in the air when trying to parachute to safety. That is a war crime. The Russians were furious. Here is a list of retaliatory moves.

Restriction on imports of food, stopping procedures on a pipeline through Turkey, stopping construction of an atomic power plant, stopping tourism and transit of Turkish trucks. The effects will be widespread.

Turkish PM labeled Russian reactions "emotional." The Turks better retreat while they can and apologize. Europe is not going to bail them out.
