Lebanese Official Claims To Breitbart: NATO ‘Okayed’ Turkey’s Downing Of Russian Jet

EXCLUSIVE - Lebanese Official Claims To Breitbart: NATO 'Okayed' Turkey's Downing Of Russian Jet. [ Full title ].

Turkey could only have shot down a Russian Su-24 military jet after securing permission from the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), charged Lebanon's Druze leader Walid Jumblatt in an exclusive interview with Breitbart.

The Turks cannot afford to shoot down a Russian plane, being a member of NATO, without asking the permission of NATO. They have to ask NATO. It's NATO, said Jumblatt, a member of parliament and leader of Lebanon's Progressive Socialist Party.

Jumblatt is considered the leader of Lebanon's historic Druze community.

...

The Druze leader's comments came as the confrontation between Turkey and Russia escalated, and Russian President Vladimir Putin implied that the U.S. may have passed Russian flight information to Turkey.

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 at a joint press conference with French President Francois Hollande.

...

Meanwhile, Putin accused Turkey of accepting oil smuggled by ISIS.

Vehicles, carrying oil, lined up in a chain going beyond the horizon resembling a living oil pipe. Day and night they are going to Turkey. Trucks always go there loaded, and back from there - empty.

I keep hoping Putin will get pissed enough to tell the world everything Edward Snowden has told him.

Unfortunately I think that is what happened. It was a setup or an ambush depending on what term you want to use. I also would not be surprised in the least that Obama was behind it.

Wouldn’t that make it premeditated?

Especially considering the time frame involved of aircraft approaching, targeting, transgressing Turkish airspace...

Max 10 minutes?

And there is that thing about not being on the same radio frequency

I agree:

IF TRUE, Obama would be behind something treacherouse like this.

The stinky piece fits the puzzle.

Obama is looking to get in a proxy war with Russia because he doesn’t like Russia kicking ISIS’s ass.

Back in the day, Wally Jumblatt was a pro-Soviet, pro-Syrian, anti-American, anti-Israel Arab nationalist and Marxist. I see he hasn’t mellowed with age.

come om, FReepers. You guys use words and talk science that keeps me up at night reading about on the internet, and you think there’s ANY ANY Chance that Turkey would shoot down a Russian plane without Explicit permission from Obummer.

he practically has an orgasm when he sees ergoden.

it’s sickening, but ther’s a traitor in the white house and he would rather go to war with Russia than see jihadis killed.

and unfortunately, he had the most powerful military in history to do his bidding.

Putin did the WORST thing in Obama’s book:

He made Obama *LOOK BAD*.

I think Obama did this.

Eh...this is bad. .... Arch Duke Ferdinand bad.

Yuppo...

When I first heard of this the image of Ferdinand and his wife Sophie came immediately to mind.

It's the ill-conceived alliances that pose the danger...just as in WW1.

Here they are... Franz and Sophie

If the Obamatollah was behind this, Congress needs to use Article 25 and remove him pronto or our elected officials will have even more blood on their hands. I don’t know how they can even sleep at night.
The news media has just as much blood or their hands.

It’s the failure of the MSM to vet Obama (or any democrat) that allowed this dangerous fool to take office.

There will be much blood on their hands, but they care not a whit.

The vast majority of posters on these threads relating to Russia are pro-Russian apologists and/or Putin paid trolls sowing official Russian disinformation in an effort to divide American and foreign opinion in favor of Putin’s criminal actions.

Thank you!

I have actually had a couple wild encounters over the years that have left me scratching my head. Dunno.
