    Russian bomber shot down by- Turkey

    Breaking news. The two pilots ejected.
    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

    However it's a pretty crazy thing to do given the Russian aircraft was only over Turkish soil for roughly 10 seconds. Why would the Turks want to antagonise Putin who usually reacts badly when provoked?
    Cheers,

    Because Putin is supporting Assad who is an enemy of Erdrogan.

    Exactly, hold on to your seats.

    Also the Russian rescue helicopter, looking for the pilots has now been shot down by Syrian rebels....

    Apparently the Turks gave the Russians 10 warnings before following through on their threat.

    The map seems to show repeated crossings of the boarder:



    I think Putin's reaction to the downing is the most concerning aspect of this.

    Turkey shoots down Russian fighter jet, Putin warns of
    Cheers,

    Because the Russians bomb everyone opposed to Assad. Turkey and others support rebels not Isil cowards. Isil is happy for Russia to bomb rebels whom they are also fighting Terry.

    It is a mess- Kevin Andrews and former PM wanting us to put ground troops into that mess is

    One piliot dead

    and marine from rescue helicopter dead
