Because he was armed and failed to heed warnings to leave!!!

How many Turkish planes needed to be shot down before you recognize he’s not going to cooperate with an “escort” either?

Ignorant diplomats think they can talk their way out of anything.

I didn’t see them rushing to Belgium to negotiate with the suicide bombers....

This is going to be interesting real fast.

I just hope cooler heads will prevail until we have a change in occupancy at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

How many seconds for the shell to get to the target.

The story goes something like this:

Eastern Iraq, 2004:

Unidentified plane, you are in Iranian airspace, leave at once.

This is a USAF F-15 and I am inside Iraq airspace and I am not leaving.

Unidentified plane, this is Iranian air control, leave at once or I will send planes to eradicate you from the air.

F-15 pilot: I am not leaving, I am in Iraq air space.

Unidentified aircraft, this is your last warning, leave at once or face the consequences.

F-15 pilot: I am waiting.

No further transmissions.

Yes. Everything goes through Turkey including weapons, supplies and terrorists including what the US is giving to isis and al nusra ( al queda).

apparently the only ones not affiliated with isis and al queda are, for the most part, Kurds, Yazidis and the cew Christian militias.

Google Serena Shim.

They have been moving backwards since Erdogan’s party took over, back around 2002, I think. That party is explicitly Islamist, and they have been rolling back long-standing secular reforms ever since they got into power.

Obviously, the public attitudes were changing before that, or Erdogan’s Islamist party never could have gotten elected.

Im not saying war...im thinking a major rift in NATO....

im thinking the European NATO countries after Paris will side with Russia on this....and against Turkey...

Normally would be bad but not critical as Turkeys been the Islamic odd man in NATO since day one....

But the US has been the Nato cornerstone....

and if Obama shows his true colors sides with Islam and Turkey .... and against the rest of the European NATO allies.. it gets politically really ugly...

It puts Europe and Russians and one camp .... with the US split off to the other side in the Islamic camp....

I don't see the majority of Americans and majority of our military among them going for that ...but a large minority of Obama diehards and leftist will

I think I have this figured out. HomObama was in Turkey the other day. He meets with Erdogen. They decide to look for an opportunity to drag NATO into war with Russia by shooting down a Ruusian plane. Russia responds back. Turkey pulls the Article 5 NATO agreement, where an attack on one NATO country is an attack on all. Now NATO countries get involved in the fight against Russia, in Syria. Assad gets ousted, ISIS takes control of Syria. The Caliphate gets strengthened. HomOBama wins. Turkey, being a Muzzie country should not even be in NATO.

Russia's modus operandi

is to push and push to see how far they can go without creating a full-scale war.

That's why they took the Crimea - to take the measure of NATO and the EU. The West swerved and Russia won that game of chicken.

Now Russia played the same game with Turkey, violating their airspace again and again to see how far they could expand their air superiority in the region.

Turkey did not swerve.

NATO is not going to agree with Turkey or with Russia because both of them broke the unwritten rules.

Shooting men in parachutes might be a war crime. It certainly ain’t kosher.
