Turkey has shot down a Russian warplane, the first time a Nato country and Moscow have exchanged direct fire over the crisis in Syria.
Ankara and the Kremlin gave conflicting accounts of the incident, which appears to have occurred in an area near the Turkish-Syrian border straddling Iskenderun and Latakia.
The Turkish military said it scrambled two F-16 fighter jets after a plane entered Turkish airspace in the province of Hatay at 9.20am on Tuesday, warning it to leave 10 times in five minutes before shooting it down.

And since Turkey is a member of NATO, if Russia were to retaliate the US would have its excuse for a war with Russia.
On this Thanksgiving, give thanks that Putin is a wiser, better leader than Obama ad-Dajjal.
