Intentionally invading another country's airspace

Any ideas on "how high" is airspace ? In terms of the sea, some countries have a 3 nautical mile space, and some have a 20 nautical mile space.

Are there similar thingammies for "air space" ?

<Turkey......will probably continue to be, a great ally of the US>

There are "cusp events", where crucial decisions are made, that change relationships permanently. What the Turks are doing now, is one of those events.

They are not acting like allies. This is not just diplomacy. They are doing tangible not-trivial harm to our war-fighting ability. They have effectively neutralized 60,000 U.S. troops and 2 carrier groups. They have made us re-write our battle plan at the last moment.

60 years of U.S.-Turkish trust and cooperation is being destroyed.
