So I don't tend to be the one that doom mongers, and I don't actually really know the RPC's rules based on this... but I wanted to hear other peoples thoughts.
So... apparently Turkey shot down a Russian warplane.
Why is this not very good? Well lets start with why Russia is around Turkey in the first place. They're out in Syria bombing Daesh (and probably Syrian rebels but eh), and generally being jerks to the terrorist group. Turkey (liking it's sovereignty) warned Russia not to have its planes fly in its airspace. Today, and as Turkey calls it, they shot down a Russian fighter jet that had gone into its territory, before crashing somewhere down into Syria.
Again, why is this not very good? It's because Turkey is a NATO country. If Russia turns out to be a little more than salty at that and ends up in a war with Turkey, every other nation in NATO will suddenly be at war with Russia.
Anyway, I just wanted to hear others thoughts on this subject.
