Turkey's president Tayyip Erdogan on Friday warned Vladimir Putin not to "play with fire" as their war of words continued to escalate over the downing of a jet.

Putin has refused to contact Erdogan because Ankara does not to apologize for the downing of the Russian warplane, Putin aide Yuri Ushakov told Reuters Friday.

On Thursday, Putin again slammed Turkey's explanations for the shoot down near the border with Syria, saying that the warplane's flight details had been passed to the U.S. in advance and should have been known to the Turkish government.

"The American side, which leads the coalition that Turkey belongs to, knew about the location and time of our planes' flights, and we were hit exactly there and at that time," Putin said during a news conference with French President Francois Hollande, during which the two leaders vowed to increase cooperation in the fight against ISIS.

Well, Putin does seem to be genuinely upset. Maybe it is just an act?

Putin has ice in his veins. If he's upset, it's an act. If he's calm, it's an act. He's KGB.

He's probably more deadly when he's calm.

I know he likes to poison people - very sneaky. Maybe Erdogan should be careful about what he eats for awhile.

That’s funny, Obama and Erdogan are very similar. They’re both islamist nut jobs who support ISIS and the Caliphate. It’s disturbing how many ISIS supporters are on Free Republic.
