HOW SIGNIFICANT OF AN EVENT IS THIS?
Well, first and foremost, you have to know Tsar is none too
pleased with Turkey 's
actions.
To get caught cold handed doing something everyone in the
world knows has been going on for months is not that surprising.
What is interesting is why the Turks chose now to question a
process that has been going on for months?
What changed?
More importantly, what message was Turkey attempting to send to Russia and
Assad?
The odds are the only way this will be interpreted in Moscow or Damascus is that
of an escalation on Turkey 's
part.
The fact the Turks moved additional fighter aircraft closer
to the Syrian border can not be overlooked.
Stacked on top of that event is the announcement it was no
longer "safe" to fly over Syrian airspace?
Really????
Again.. Nothing new here... so again the question of; what
changed?
I can tell you that the "clearing of airspace" is
a worrisome sign to those that know the process of CAP, Combat Air Patrols.
So, what is taking place with these three events.. . Syrian
airlines with Russian gear... movement of fighter jets to the border and the
closing of Syrian airspace for Turkish airliners.. A process that will be copied
by other nations very soon.
