This will either be the biggest deal in a long, long time. Or absolutely the largest nothingburger.

Some observations by @Galrahn via Twitter:

If the F-4 was shot down by Syria, expect to see a lot of dithering and hand wringing by the Turkish government, not retaliation.

FYI. Turkey has the largest Army in Europe, and the 2nd largest Navy. Turkey has the 2nd largest military in NATO, behind the US.

The old Turkey would shove a missile up Assad's ass. These guys will dither and let things boil awhile. Both ways are dangerous.

Wow if those pictures of a Turkish naval helicopter pulling 2 pilots out of the water are legit, social media is #winning

If a shootdown occurred, the US Navy saw it.

Sounds like nobody is actually sure if the pilots were rescued or captured at this point...
