Russia ‘Violated’ Turkish Airspace Because Turkey ‘Moved’ Its Border

Via comment by Sioux on Stumbling to War With Russia?

One Russian plane may even indeed have slightly crossed the border while maneuvering. But the real reason why the U.S. military official and Turkey claim the above “violations” is because Turkey unilaterally “moved” the Turkish-Syrian border five miles south:

Turkey has maintained a buffer zone five miles inside Syria since June 2012, when a Syrian air defense missile shot down a Turkish fighter plane that had strayed into Syrian airspace. Under revised rules of engagement put in effect then, the Turkish air force would evaluate any target coming within five miles of the Turkish border as an enemy and act accordingly.
If Syrian rules of engagement would “move” its northern border up to the Black Sea would any plane in eastern Turkey be in violation of Syrian air space? No one would accept such nonsense and that is why no one should accept the U.S.-Turkish bullshit here. Russian planes should not respect the “new” Turkish defined border but only the legitimate one…

  1. It would seem Mexico has a buffer zone 100 miles north of its border.
    I am sure Syria did not approve this border theft. I guess the border shift
    is so the oil thieves, ISIS, can go merrily on their way.
