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’m just wondering how this Lebanese official is in the NATO loop.

I agree that Obama is very likely implementing his “put America last” strategy...but how does is the Lebanese guy privy to this kind of communication?

Josh Earnest claimed it to be in metric and therefore longer

Over one year ago, 2 retired U.S. generals openly stated that Obama switched sides in the ISIS war, and called his actions treasonous. They gave quite an interview:

Perhaps so. If this turns out to be true, then I’m stunned by NATO.

I’ll get Nully in here to cover us on tinfoil, too! LOL

Obama, Like Erdogan of Turkey,..Obsess about taking down Assad of Syria. Which is why Erdogan/Turkey went to Nato, which is us, rather than go directly to Putin as he has always done in the past. The news is only recently begun to report (finally) that Erdogan is doing everything he can to get Russia and the US to war against each other, including supporting ISIS. Obama is playing along with Erdogan's game because they both want Assad out.

Obama is the cause of the Syrian war continuing, as is currently as countless times he's refused to consider a transitional government....but NOW he's trying to make it sound like he's convinced Russia to a transitional Gov. in Syria when in fact Putin's been calling for such from the get go and that it's the Syrians peoples call, not outside parties,on the entire issue of who heads Syria and the path they take for leadership.

I don't believe the NATO Duty Officer that night gave the OK.

Unless he was a Turk and disobeyed standing orders.

Nay, the Turks did this on their own and they did it to establish military confrontation between NATO and Russia, which is to their direct benefit.

The US must remove all assets from Turkey as soon as is feasible.

Blatantly and publicly.

"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."

Do you support Turkey shooting down the Russian attack aircraft?

And, if Russia retaliates militarily, do you support war with Russia in accordance with the NATO compact?

Sounds like pure b.s. I other words, an allegation that "NATO approved of the start of WWIII".

Anyone who is remotely familiar with NATO would understand that there is NO WAY they could or would approve something like this. They can literally debate for months or years what grade of toilet paper to use in the men’s room in Brussels. I kid you not.

Truly dysfunctional organization when it comes to decision making.

I don’t think it was NATO. They asked Turkey why they didn’t just escort the plane out. I do suspect someone with the middle name Hussein who ran to the cameras awfully quickly telling Russia it was their fault for defending Assad.

you know, there are a lot of indicators here, mostly from BS that doesn’t add up... but I just can’t believe obama has the stones to make any sort of call like that. He’s a traitorous bastard, but I really don’t think he has the guts

The narcissist has his panties all bunched up because Putin “dissed” him. So what would Barky do about it. Exactly what any other BLM punk would do; pick a time and place to figuratively shoot Putin in the back. IMHO.

Maybe NATO nations did approve.

If you check, many of those nations are now dominated by muslims.
