Syria is an active combat zone (the UK isn't and neither is Greece). The Turks are free to implement whatever rules of engagement they see fit. They will have brought that SU24 down because they fully intended to bring it down. Whether or not there was a political or military motivation behind this incident is wide open for debate.

Have the debate about what's justified and what isn't justified until the cows come home. Let Putin join the debate while he tosses bricks around in his glass house. The person who can actually make sense out of what's happening on the ground today in Syria and what each of the protagonists political goals are is the person who stands the best chance of resolving the conflict.
