But why didn't Turkey just escort the plane out of their airspace with fighter jets instead of shooting it down?
And if they did decide to shoot down the plane, why then shoot the parachuting Russian airmen in mid-air? Seems an over-reaction.

Very interesting article that explains Russia's motivations.
I'm old enough to remember the Soviet era very well so it definitely resonated.
I think that the demise of Communist ideology and the crumbling of the Soviet Empire, along with the post-Cold War opening of Russia to the liberal, capitalistic Western world, has deluded many in the West into believing that Russia's quest for world domination had been scrapped.
I guess it's time we all woke up.
This quest, as it is now being articulated in Syria, along with China's new involvement in the pro-Assad camp alongside Iran and Iraq makes it ever more likely that the Middle East may end up being the Balkans of the 21st century.
