Default Not good.

Turkey are reported to have shot down a Russian fighter jet .

Turkey claim to have warned the pilots before shooting it down.

The wreckage is reported to have landed on a refugee camp.

Not good.

Sultan Erdogan didn't like how efficient the Russians were at taking out their buddies in ISIS and the other 'moderate Islamist rebels'.

To think that the EU may let the Turks join.

None of this is good.

It's all very worrying. I dread the future for our son's and daughters, even more so the grandchildren. Everything seems to get worse by the day.

BBC quote one of those fuzzy wuddly moderate rebels...

Quote:
Jahed Ahmad of the 10th Brigade in the Coast said that the two Russian crew members tried to land in their parachutes in government-held areas after they ejected, but came under fire from members of his group.

He adds that rebels shot one of the pilots, who landed dead on the ground on Tuesday.

The fate of the second pilot was not immediately known.

The group released a video showing gunmen standing around a blond pilot whose face was bruised and appeared dead
