    Russia doesn’t seem like the kind of country that learns lessons like that. They’re more like the kind thats looking for reasons to start more wars.

      Nah, Russia actually respects force because it’s one of the few languages they truly do understand. Putin flexes his power to see how much he can get away with, and only really backs down when others start flexing too. Turkey unflinchingly shot down two Russian fighter jets that entered their airspace. That was a decade ago, and Turkey hasn’t had an issue with them since.

      Worked pretty well for turkey, they shot down 2 russian fighter jets, resulting in the death of 1 pilot. Russia did not violate their airspace again.
