A few weeks ago Russia was flexing it's muscles pretty good in Syria. And ignoring US complaints about who they were attacking (our guys). Then Turkey shots down a Russian plane. Can't help but wonder if the US (and others) had Turkey do the shootdown to send a message to Putin, play nice. Now Russia isn't quite so obvious about attacking our guys and has turned its attention more toward ISIS (at least in public).
It 's what you call a measured response in diplomatic talk. Just enough to get the message across but not too much. |
