Russia fires warning shots at Turkish fishing boat.

[purplehazed]

I'm a bit scared of where all this is leading. Turkey seems hellbent on antagonising Russia, probably because they know they've got nato behind them. I wish it would calm down.

"I truly believe Russia's support for Assad (don't shoot me down just yet) is a 'safer' option than not supporting the Assad regime".

Then not only are you immoral (because you're supporting a regime engaged in mass slaughter), but you are also ignorant as to what is actually happening in Syria.

Here's a handy link:

Assad is killing more civilians, Assad is creating more refugees. Yet you think he should stay?

Warning shots at a fishing boat?

The English Channel is incredibly busy, with ships and boats of all sizes churning up and down, and ferries crossing between them.

No warning shots fired today. None yesterday. I bet none tomorrow.

No Russian warships either.

Is it a coincidence?
