How to evaluate Turkey's shooting down of Russian cross-border fighters?

Well, Turkey has actually chosen a route with multiple strategic objectives, which is a calculated adventure.

YSL actually has three major contradictions. The first is the contradiction between Shiites and Sunnis. Turkey supports the "Islamic State" to deal with Syria, which is one of the factors, so Turkey and Saudi Arabia stand on the same front.

In other words, the "Islamic State" is an agent of Turkey, and Turkey naturally needs to help.

Second, Turkey's approach has the meaning of giving NATO a difficult problem.

NATO does not want to confront Russia head-on.

But Turkey's behavior is very interesting. If the Russians retaliate and NATO must support Turkey in accordance with the treaty, then Turkey will get a slice of the pie internationally.

If NATO does not strike, Turkey will only suppress the pro-Western secularists at home.

Third, there is nothing the Russian people can do.

Russians are not the Soviet Union, and they are not that capable.

The current strength in Syria is not enough to deal with Turkey, but it has become a hostage. It is even more difficult for the mainland to cope with the pressure from the EU and the United States.

It's too late to support the agent. Economic sanctions mean killing one thousand enemies and losing 800, which is not allowed by the Russian economy.

In this case, it is natural for Turkey to do so.
