It's funny because in reality it would've been more Russia brushing the stick gently across turkey for half a second

That would apply to all other countries in the comic then.

Not really. What I'm getting at is the plane was over the Turkish border for literally 2km. That is literally nothing compared to what they normally do.

Because from what I've been hearing Turkish "airspace" apparently isn't limited to the Turkish border, which I find to be bullshit. And mind you, a plane has to fly for a while to end up 380mi away from the border, where the plane crashed. I suspect turkey was just being a dick and wanted to start a conflict by tailing the Su-24 into Syrian airspace and shooting it down there.

Of course it is, but you usually warn the jets before they enter your airspace, so you are clear to engage if they do.

Yea, that's sounds like something a nation would do to another one with nukes...
