Turkish F-16s Shoot Down Russian SU-24

[Ivytalk]

Turks are tough hombres. Gotta pin this on the Russians, though - Turkey warned them over and over not to bomb the Turkmen and then in this case warned them over and over to get out of the airspace.

Putin doesn't really have the reputation for saying "My bad" very often.

Obummer's brutha from anutha mutha.

They've been violating Turkish airspace almost every day for several months. Turkey warned them some shit like this would happen. The Russians should have listened.

How long has the US been violating Syrian airspace?

How long has Turkey been violating Syrian airspace?

And, not just entering airspace but conducting bombing missions for years now in Syrian airspace.



I'm sure you'll be of the same opinion if the Syrian, Russians, and Iranians start strictly enforcing the Syrian's airspace?

1. I have it on good authority that the Turks had run a drill for this very scenario earlier in the morning.

2. Does nobody have a problem with this happening in Turkey on Thanksgiving week?

3. You can see in the video that the Russian jet is still spraying a chemtrail even after the pilots eject, which proves that this is probably being done without the pilots' knowledge! And you guys wanted me to answer how so many people could be involved and no one speaks out. WELL?!?! Now you see that it's all done without the pilots even knowing!

4. Bohemian Grove, motherfuckers!

Preach it.

A lot of butt hurt coming from you over a couple of dead russian pilots.

We'll see where this goes. Everyone knows the last thing NATO wants to deal with is Russia. There should be some good entertainment regarding this. Good thing Hildbeast hit the reset button with Russia, so I don't think the USA has anything to worry about here.

What I heard today is that this was more about Russia bombing ethnic Turks than it was about airspace. Supposedly the Russian plane was not in Turkish air space for long at all. Sounded to me like the Turks just watched and as soon as crossed the line they shot it down. The message they're trying to send, at least according to what I heard today watching TV, is "don't bomb the ethnic Turks."

But this is some crap people. I mean this has the potential to be very serious.

RT claims this is footage of the hajis shooting at the parachuting pilots:

Course there's also footage of them around the dead pilot, youtube & liveleak, video with face blurred and unblurred. Every other word out these camel jockey's mouths is "Allahu Akbar"

Shouldn't that be " On Soviet Thanksgiving"?

When I got into work we have a big video board that rotates headlines. First thing I saw was "Obama says Turkey has the right to defend themselves". Being two days before Thanksgiving. It was a WTF moment.

I don't believe I stated an opinion. It's an observation. Russia has been violating Turkish airspace. Turkey has been warning Russia of consequences. We saw the consequences today.

As for the U.S. and other countries violating Syrian airspace, I haven't really head any objections from the Syrians. They actually gave implicit permission when they said they would not fire on coalition aircraft conducting operations against ISIS.

Cut him some slack. He's behind on his quota of contrarian for the sake of contrarianism posts this month

Turkey being all up in arms about "airspace violations" holds little water considering that theybhave consistently violated Greece's and Cyprus's airspace for years now and plus in 2012, their OWN leader came out and stated that "a short term violation of airspace is not the pretext for an attack".

Also as Putin stated, instead of contacting Russia after this incidenct, Turkey immediately contacted NATO command. They're itching for a fight and i suspect believe that NATO pressure will intimidate Russia into stopping their attacks on ISIS, who they covertly support.

The United States believes that the Russian jet shot down by Turkey on Tuesday was hit inside Syrian airspace after a brief incursion into Turkish airspace, a U.S. official told Reuters, speaking on condition of anonymity.

The official said that assessment was based on detection of the heat signature of the jet

Doesn't really make any difference. Turkey followed the rules of engagement, giving ten warnings. Russians broke rules by first violating Turkish airspace, second by not responding, and third by not turning away immediately. Russia knows they fucked up, which is why Putin hasn't already shot a Turkish plane down.

I will say this: no NATO plane had better get anywhere close to Russian-claimed airspace anytime in the future, or it will be dodging missiles.

It wouldn't surprise me to see the Chinese step up their responses to US passage near their artificial islands in the S China Sea as well.

The Turks did nothing wrong here, but perhaps doing nothing would have been the better option. I could see Russia funding some opposition group in Turkey in a covert op to blow something up to leave a calling card.

If Russia openly retaliated wouldn't we be obligated to get involved.
