Putin: Downing Of Russian Jet Over Syria Stab In The Back By Terrorist Accomplices
Russia Today, Moscow ^ | November 24, 2015

Posted on 11/24/2015 5:41:03 AM PST by Fennie

Turkey backstabbed Russia by downing the Russian warplane and acted as accomplices of the terrorists, Russian President Vladimir Putin said.

The plane was hit by a Turkish warplane as it was traveling 1 km away from the Turkish border, Putin said. The plane posed no threat to Turkish national security, he stressed.

Putin said the plane was targeting terrorist targets in the Latakia province of Syria, many of whom came from Russia.

Russia noticed of the flow of oil from Syrian territory under the control of terrorists to Turkey, Putin said.

Apparently, IS now not only receives revenue from the smuggling of oil, but also has the protection of a nation's military, Putin said. This may explain why the terrorist group is so bold in taking acts of terrorism across the world, the added.

The incident will have grave consequences for Russia's relations with Turkey, Putin warned.

The fact that Turkey did not try to contact Russia in the wake of the incident and rushed to call a NATO meeting instead is worrisome, Putin said. It appears that Turkey want NATO to serve the interests of IS, he added.

What begins? Russia’s GDP is less than both CA. and Texas. Turkey is a member of NATO for better or worse. Russian power stems more from myth than fact though they are a tough people when their backs are to the wall.

Russian arms to their BFF the Kurdish peshmerga for one. Cut's off Turkey's exports is another and stops the flow of gas. That is the best scenario - the other being is a nuclear exchange at the worst case scenarios.

No European will fight for Turkey - NATO charter not withstanding. Europeans hate Turks on an ethnic level. And I doubt most Americans would fight for Turkey either.

Turkey was under attack or did she shoot first? It's a gray area. I don't want my kid and fellow countrymen dying for Muslims over a gray area. Especially since Turkey maybe linked to jihadis who target countries in the very same alliance.

Turkey should have been kicked out of NATO when they refused the U.S. access to move equipment during the second gulf war

Nancy Pelosi instigated that when out of nowhere (during the run up to the invasion) she put Armenian resolution on the floor denouncing Turkey. Turkey was on board until Pelosi purposely pissed them off to muddy up the waters for President Bush.

“Putin said. It appears that Turkey want NATO to serve the interests of IS, he added.”
.
Isis oil apparently flowed through Turkey. ISIS probably paid Turkey large sums of money for the oil transport.

Remember back in March 2014 the Turkish Foreign Minister, Intelligence Chief and Undersecretary of Foreign Affairs were recorded in a meeting planning a false flag to attack their own troops from Syrian territory. In so doing they would then have a pretext to invade Syria and attempt to overthrow Assad.

This was posted on Youtube and Twitter which Erdorgan promptly blocked claiming the posting of said meeting was villainous and dishonest.

Erdorgan is absolutely a terrorist supporter and a total loose cannon.

Note to Putin: Seize all the land on either side of the Bospurus including Instanbul and rename it Constantinope to give Russia control over the entry to the Black Sea and ban Islam within that territory and send in Russian Orthodox missionaries and require all school children to be taught Orthodoxy.

Turkey hides behind NATO when it wants, then protects their pals ISIS, while killing Kurds and the west are too cowardly to kick the two faced back stabbers out.

Putin should remodel Erdogan’s house in the mode of Saddam’s palace after the bombs flattened it. Hopefully with Erdogan in it.
