My latest piece for the Telegraph on the shooting down by Turkey of a Russian bomber.

A belligerent set of comments, mostly feuding with each other to no helpful purpose and having nothing to do with my piece if anyone actually read it.

Russia ‘of course’ will respond. But it’s interesting in the wider scheme of things that Moscow seems quite keen on weighing into Turkey when Ankara is currently putting some clear water between itself and its NATO/EU allies and partners. Strange times.

*Sighs*

*Heads off to South Africa*
