They told the USA a firm "NO" and "Good Luck" when we wanted to fly over Turkey for the Iraq war.
We should tell them the same now.

They should have been kicked out of NATO that very day.
I'm not sending my kids.
Maybe Obama will send his.

The globe has turned. Islam is the biggest threat now to world peace (again). Judeo-Christian nations ignore the peril at grave risk.

It would not surprise me if Russia started shooting down Turkish jets in Syrian airspace. And arming the PKK.

In other words, Turkey may have just created a Russian-backed Kurdistan by shooting down the Russian jet. If the Kurds are willing to fight, the Russians might yet give them the nation they’ve been pushing for. A couple of billion dollars a year and state-of-the-art SAM’s in PKK hands would give the Turks endless headaches.

Surely Russia can hit Syria via the black sea while going over Turkish airspace as a nice reminder that there is are violations of air space and then there are VIOLATIONS of airspace. I will not support Turkey in this case or any other. Nato or not

Because they wanted to shoot down a Russian plane. Perhaps visions of drawing NATO into the conflict on the side of Turkey and ISIS against Russia and the Kurds, and our pet Syrian rebels if there are any left.

And Obama's here with a big duhhhhhh. Does he think Russia has the right to defend it's pilots against war crimes. Lot's of potential beer summits here. Of course all the other players know Obama is a zero.

Even the Turkish information shows that the Russian plane was in Turkish territory at the most for a few minutes. It seems that Turkey was quick on the trigger on this one, probably because Russia was bombing Syrian rebels that they like.
