So, how do you know what is obvious for Syrians and what is not? And what that "obvious" has to do with the rest of the topic?!

Assad had already explicitly said, he would attack Israel if NATO would intervene, right? And if that happens, Israel will retaliate which could spin things out of control, right? So, what interest NATO (i.e. one of their member - Turkey) would have in attacking Syria?! Speaking of the benefits, it is much more beneficial for NATO to sit quiet, talking about the 'freedom fighters' (and maybe even helping them with weapons like you said) waiting for the "freedom" to slowly take effect, as it is happening today, than fire any kind of weapon towards Syria! Why to start stirring if Syria would be yours from within in a matter of months?! It is Assad's government which needs to do anything extraordinary to save his butt. On the contrary, the US is trying to play down the incident: "but at this point, there's nothing to suggest it's going to become a broader conflict."

So, what "impossible" had I asked?! Why to blame the US government again?! What makes the thoughts like: "Обстрел турецкой деревни – провокация со стороны Турции для оправдания более активного вмешательства в войну в Сирии" yours?! Can you really think that way? I'm pretty sure you haven't thought a second before writing that purely propagandistic point. It just came out naturally without any thinking as it would for anybody who is heavily influenced by propaganda. And that is a pity.

Besides, all I asked in my original question was whether this conflict would escalate or not. There was nothing impossible to answer without blaming the US government again, wasn't it? I'm looking for your thoughts on that matter...
