A RUSSIAN helicopter has been downed while searching for the pilots who ejected from their burning jet after it was shot down this morning while flying over Syria, according to unconfirmed reports.

“That may be the reason Russia provoked Turkey. Rumor has it Turkey is supporting ISIS. This could be the excuse Russia uses to take them out.”
Jeeze, from the published flight paths, the Russians barely dipped into Turkey and certainly didn’t attack Turkey.
But Turkey is DEFINITELY supporting ISIS. I suspect that Russia really wants to field-test their S-400 Ground-to-Air missile system (clearly the best in the world) against NATO...now they have the justification. If I were a Turkish pilot, I would be VERY, VERY, CAREFUL.
——the Russians barely dipped into Turkey——
that is obamaesque pacifist thinking.
the correct thinking is .... give them an inch and they will take a mile
“——the Russians barely dipped into Turkey——that is obamaesque pacifist thinking...the correct thinking is .... give them an inch and they will take a mile”
Not quite. OBAMA should be CONGRATULATING the Russians for flying a more direct route and thus minimizing the carbon footprint of their fighter jets. Obama couldn’t care less if Russia pushes us further off the world stage, THAT IS HIS GOAL.
well, in those terms I will concede a little
however, Obama had nothing to do with the Turkish effort and is basically outside the store with his nose pressed to the window
An Americentric view is not warranted when America is not allowed to participate by a flopeared pacifist coward
That is because islam = ISIS. The "religion of peace" teaches its adherents that there is no peace until nothing that is not islamic remains alive.
“Austria got Hungary and fried Turkey in Greece”
A phrase to remember who allied with whom in WWI.
