Looks as it the Turks and Syrians are pretty well armed.

Technically...

The Turkmen are supplied by our uh Moderate Muslim Freedom Fighter initiative.

The Turkmen in Syria are at the root just Turkish citizens living in Syria.

Syria and Russia are bombing them.

Turkey uh stopped that.

Are they at war...you decide.

Are we at war....you decide.

Russia is at ‘real war’ is it? Ok, so are they going to start bombing Turkey now? We will soon see the limits of the ‘great Russia’ soon, if that's the case. Sorry, Russia doesn't have the money for some long drawn our ground operation, and they will soon see the eprils of mission creep. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-34907983

Turkey used to be a good country and should have been a strong ally of the US.

To allow them into the EU and into NATO when they were on the brink of being taken over by the Islamofascists was a mistake that Western Civilization will regret for decades.

FRiends, with all the changes in the world, and all the brainwashing — to such an extent that many patriotic Americans support Putin over our own government — it is all the more important that we keep our thoughts and minds clear so that we will not be deceived into our own slavery.

Hold fast the Bible, our Founding Fathers, and the great works of liberty in the Western canon.

Will Putin start isolating Obama from the world by asking the simple question .... Do you think Obama is going to be a reliable ally in a Nato lead global conflict?

I think Germany is going to split and the rest of Europe in turmoil if Nato considerations are invoked.

Imagine all the little banana kingdoms set up by ‘Strongman’ Abdulla’s and Mustafa’s all throughout Europe?

>>No, there is no good reason for the Turks to have shot 1st<<

Not arguing a point, just food for thought. What would the U.S. or Russia do if a foreign military jet flew into our airspace after repeated warnings? Let’s say a Russian fighter jet flew over Los Angeles or over the Houston ship channel...what would be our response?

Russia are our allies against ISIS.

The United States (Obama as CIC) is on the side of ISIS.

Maybe sacrifice a pawn in order to move other pieces into position. Russia has no love for Turkey...even with extra gravy...and now that the Turks have decided to swing jihadi in their governing; it might be time for Ivan to have at ‘em.

What better excuse to wipe out all that Turkish armor along the Syrian border than an “incident” like this.

Kills two birds with one stone...protect Assad from Turk forces and take ISIS armored/artillary support out as well. (Or so it is rumored; just to make that clear).

GAME ON! EAGLES UP! TALLY HOOOOOO!!!!

Just why is ISIS not being economically isolated by closing the borders around it?

Baksheesh!

A lot of oil has been passing from IS through Turkey, and someone is making a lot of money getting it to market.

If this jet was in Turkish territory it wouldn't have been for long.

Turkey could have easily stood down. The fact that they didn't says alot.

I agree. Putin is better than President Obama.

Obama and his allies including Hilary, McCain, Lindsey Graham have been creating havoc all over the world. They have done their best to get the Muslim brotherhood in power. They did the same thing in Libya. They didn’t succeed in Egypt. McCain for some reason decided to join the charade and kept talking about the Free Syrian Army. How many of these guys did we train for $500 million dollars. We ended up with five. This was ISIS pure and simple. Why are we planning to take all these single male Muslims into our country, then send our young men and women over to fight ISIS instead. Even the Canadians said they will only take in women, children or families. We must be crazy to let Obama continue his charades.

All this talk about Turkey, so close to Thanksgiving, is making me hungry.

Obama is no where to be found so I am guessing he is cowering under his desk.

The enemy of our enemy is our friend.

Sometimes, they are just the enemy of our enemy, and there is nothing to get all warm and fuzzy about.
