Russia/Turkish standoff escalates.

Here is a map published by the Turks claiming that Russian planes violated Turkish airspace:


The following is clear:
1. If the Turkish claim is true, the Russian plane was over Turkish territory for only a few seconds:
2. It is clear that the Russian plane posed no danger to Turkey.
3. It is also clear that Turkey is the end point of ISIS selling oil. Turkey therefore is an ISIS ally.
4. Turkey is also supporting ISIS by attacking the Kurds, the only credible opposition to ISIS on the ground.

The following military actions were taken:
1. Russia moved the Moskva missile cruiser to off the coast where it can interdict Syrian air space;
2. Russia is bombarding Turkomen positions in Syria from the sea and also by artillery;
3. Russian bombers now have fighter escort:

4. Turkey is moving tanks to its border with Syria. Twenty tanks were shipped there via rail.
5. Turkey sent at least a dozen F-16 fighters into the area.
