With Turkey being a NATO member, this could get ugly fast if Syria and Turkey start a more active campaign against one another.

Turkey shot down a helicopter a few months ago. Syria wants nothing to do with dicking with Turkey. Turkish Air Force would make short order of the Syrian Antique MIGs.

Note to Syria: don't cross Turkey's redline.

Shouldn't have flown into their airspace. Nothing will come of this..Syria doesn't have the power to take on Turkey, and any support from NATO they would get

yeah i'm more concerned with Turkey choosing a side in the civil war (maybe they have enough to worry about not stepping into that mess)

yeah Syria wants no part of turkey. I am WAY MORE CONCERNED about what Russia does in europe than Syria.

I think the Turks hold the US and EU in extremely low esteem, and their response to Russia in Ukraine has proven those assumptions, (they don't want to screw with the Russians either yet). They probably see an opportunity to do more in Syria with Russia occupied. The real question is, can Russia chew gum and walk at the same time ie: support Syria and consolidate/expand into Ukraine. Where is most of the Black Sea fleet now, in the Eastern Med or Black Sea?

I agree. This is a major concern.
If Turkey picks to side with Assad (which they won't) the Washington elites will get pissed. Pick the Syrian rebel side and the Christian slaughter continues.

Erdogan hates Assad. They won't assist either side IMO.

Turkey shot down that plane inside Syria. They also keep shelling Syrian army outposts who are trying to advance and regain control of areas from radicals.
Erdogan, the Sultan, is a dictator and corupt himself. He just banned twitter in turkey. Turkey looking for anything to justify its interference , start a war with Assad, and have radicals take over...in the end, its all connected to the situation in Russia and Iran

And that connection is?
A turf war? That is, a war for eastern European countries to sell natural gas to?

yes a turf war in the mid east between the Russian axis and the west
