NATO ambassadors to Turkey: Why didn’t you just escort that Russian plane out of your airspace?

Because the Russians are cutting in on someone’s oil money action. That’s why.

Good question. Ask Obama.

[Brad from Tennessee]

Why didn’t you just escort that Russian plane out of your airspace?

There was no time. The Russian fighter was in Turkish airspace for less than a minute.

[Patton@Bastogne]

“Always follow the money” .... Rush Limbaugh ...

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

Even worse than shooting the plane down was shooting the parachuting pilots in midair.

i dont care WHAT reason nato uses for not going to bat for turkey, as long as they dont.

kick them out of nato. they are muslimm animals.

my older brother said some guy named Attaturk would be turning in his grave. too lazy to look him up.

[Mouton]

Would not have served our purposes to do that. Our purposes are to get you involved on our side and to protect our leader’s businesses.

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

” The Russian fighter was in Turkish airspace for less than a minute. “

I read ear;ier 17 seconds. 10 warnings in 17 seconds? Fast talker!

[Lurker]

The Turkish Air Force shot the plane down. Turkmen rebels inside Syria shot the pilots and then shot down the rescue helicopter.

[Travis McGee]

No time to. They were only in Turkish air space for two or three seconds, if that. It had to be a timed "set up" shot, with an operator looking at a radar picture with his finger on a button.

[Iron Munro]

Turkey is a muslim nation trying to get the west to chase Putin out of the mid-east for them.

[Bulwyf]

He was the guy that brought turkey to modernization and secularism. He got the country away from Islam running it.

[Boogieman]

Kemal Ataturk, founder of the modern state of Turkey, was a rebel against the Ottomans during WWI. When the Ottomans fell after the war, he and his party took control of the state and instituted modernist, secular reforms.

He was also the one responsible for making those Fez hats the Turkish national headwear, to distance them from the turbans that all the other Muslims wear.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

Okay. Thanks for the clarification. Were they working together? Is Turkey supporting the rebels? If so then I say again that Turkey is taking the offensive against Russia while trying to claim a defensive position.

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

“warned the pilots of the jet that was brought down today 10 times in five minutes to scram “
Wouldn’t take a fighter jet 5 minutes to cross that little spit of land!

[butlerweave]

Erdogan and Obama planned this at the G20 meeting

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

Don’t worry, Obama has the back of Turkey and there recent hard core muslim government.

Zero the Jerk doesn’t quite know what he did opening his mouth today on this.

[tophat9000]

This is going to be interesting real fast.

after Paris... European is in no mood for countries like Turkey and Obama having the US to be carrying ISIS’s water.
...
Obama’s mask might be pulled off in this showing he really sides with the Islamist

[sunrise_sunset]

Turkey is allied with ISIS. No one should be supporting them.
