It may be because of the so called s 400 thingys or the anticipated economic weapons but someone realized the bear though clumsy looking is not good to have around when angry. An anticlimax but 3 cheers for "peace"!

Turkish Prime Minister strikes conciliatory tone following downing of Russian jet

It will be a test of stealth technologies..or which agencies have stolen from whom knowing Russian hackers..its a good guess who has the ace card

If ww3 was to occur, Africa would suddenly become the cradle of civilization

Eagle gave sortie schematics to down the Bear jet.
Crescent & Star don’t care about Trade/tourism with Bear.
Bec joining EU is more beneficial to them.
Crescent& Star worries more of Bear arming pershmerga
Worries more if Pershmerga will want secession.
That’s an Ace up the Bears sleeve.
Eagle is lobbying hard for crescent&star joining EU
Eagle loves the spat between Bear and Crescent &star.
Napoleon is confused whether to work with Eagle, Bear or both.
Bear will hurt eventually particularly financially
Eagle believes that it has tactical and strategic naval and air advantage over Dragon.
Eagle is confident of Arleigh Burke and Aegis system
Dragon in my humble estimate needs a longtime to match maritime prowess.
Bear will not use Bulava and Eagle will not use Trident. Period!!!!
Dragon can build Spratly 10 xs bigger but still Eagle has better power projection
Eagle, Bear and Napoleon are aware that without ground troops. You can’t remove the Bugs
The Bugs are in a large territory. They are different kinds of Bugs
Crickets, Cockroaches, fleas, Jiggers and Ticks.
Nobody is more confused than the Bugs
They can shoot this way today and tomorrow the other way.
They don’t even know who is with them or against them.
For all the Shenanigans to end, the Bear and the Eagle need to agree
Eagle is proud and has a big Ego so it’s hard. Bear has Ego too.
SCV 1 needs to talk to both.

The uncertainty principle is what you're probably missing. Generally, the more order we wish to create the more we create disorder. But because we use more energy for order the rate of disorder tends to be slower, but the two eventually meet.

A good example is the international financial system. The gold standard undermined itself into fiat money pegged on the dollar and now that's become a problem.

Consumerism is now a threat; from environmental concerns to issues of social justice.

Use of drones for killing terrorists is having the opposite effects.

A globalized world with super fast and dense network connections will churn disorder faster. We are at a network boom with institutions of an older world.

What would Nietzsche say?

A good summary.
Bear, Napoleon, Dragon, Johnny and Eagle know that without boots in the confused Syrian theatre its useless, nyet to any victory, and the ever-evolving bugs cant be crushed, but none of them are willing to send in the boots hukoz. Bear can't of course engage Turkey militarily due to the NATO pact. Even if it came to that it would only remain conventional and never progress to NBC.
Study the bugs keenly and you will note they are students of some of these guys above as well as Moses....

You are kindly wrong. How can you say there are no boots on the ground when there is the army on the ground? You might not "see" or even like the president but the army does exist and they are on the roll currently. All they needed was a better airpower and that has been taken care of by the bear. Recognizing the role of the standing the army and its president is the first step to resolving this matter and so far the bear has 20/20 vision. The rest are blind bats.

Daniel 7 New International Version (NIV)
Daniel’s Dream of Four Beasts
In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon, Daniel had a dream, and visions passed through his mind as he was lying in bed. He wrote down the substance of his dream.
Daniel said: “In my vision at night I looked, and there before me were the four winds of heaven churning up the great sea. Four great beasts, each different from the others, came up out of the sea.
“The first was like a lion, and it had the wings of an eagle. I watched until its wings were torn off and it was lifted from the ground so that it stood on two feet like a human being, and the mind of a human was given to it.
“And there before me was a second beast, which looked like a bear. It was raised up on one of its sides, and it had three ribs in its mouth between its teeth. It was told, ‘Get up and eat your fill of flesh!’
“After that, I looked, and there before me was another beast, one that looked like a leopard. And on its back it had four wings like those of a bird. This beast had four heads, and it was given authority to rule.
“After that, in my vision at night I looked, and there before me was a fourth beast—terrifying and frightening and very powerful. It had large iron teeth; it crushed and devoured its victims and trampled underfoot whatever was left. It was different from all the former beasts, and it had ten horns.
“While I was thinking about the horns, there before me was another horn, a little one, which came up among them; and three of the first horns were uprooted before it. This horn had eyes like the eyes of a human being and a mouth that spoke boastfully
