I am surePutin is playing clean and for free. (Sarc off)
I thought Turkey want to get in NATO. Didn’t know it had already happened.
So can we say the war for the liberation of Constantinople is beginning? Well, I am reaching.:-)
Turkey has been in NATO for decades
They are not in the EU and trying to get in
No WWIII today, Russia is claiming the SU-24 was shoot down by fire from within Syria https://twitter.com/mod_russia/status/669081140653879296
A Turkish military statement said the plane violated Turkish airspace in Hatay province and was warned “10 times in five minutes”.

The areas of operations need to be made clearer. Putin, however, feels he owns the entire battle space based on the fellowship of tyrants. Only after ISIS took out a Russian civilian plane did he show any interest in taking on ISIS.
Your panties? Are they in a wad again?
ISIS and Russia is a complicated issue, they have a common history.
No. But thanks for the deep thoughts.
