Russkies have been locking in to Turkish targets for days now, clearly doing their best to be provocative. Russkies do it to our forces all the time, but we never shoot them down. The Turks called the Russkie’s bluff and sent a Russkie on his way to hell, but one wonders if Putin will retaliate now? We’ll see. If he doesn’t, assuming the story is even true, then there is hope for America because it’ll mean Putin is a Puss.

Russia is not as reactionary as you think. They will do nothing and lie about the conflict and the shoot-down. They will say it was not theirs and that Turkey is in violation of international agreements.

The Russians can be beat militarily but psychologically is another story.

Possible Scenario:

1. Obama goes to aide of fellow Muslim Turkish prez and retaliates against Russia ...

2.) Russia nukes Washington, using 2 100 MT bombs, detonated at 3000’ above WH ...

3.) Washington reduced to smoldering 1400’ deep crater, 3 miles across ...

4.) Rest of America declares a national holiday in celebration.

The story I linked to a few posts earlier claims that NATO via a Turkish plane was testing Syrian airspace about three years ago and Syria shot it down. There may be a long history of this practice between these players.

And I think you are right...

Just got off so,me Arabic translations and other feeds and this is all based on Social Media which is a kmnown access channel for Jihadis to use. Even in the Tweets I was reading they were talking about folloeing certain code names in particular areas...

They also referred to the possible craft as an Airliner multiple ti,es and observers and said they were looking for Pilots (plural) Not sure if the MIGs being flown are single or 2 man

It was also based solely on a large explosion and 3 jets circling, nothing more of substance I can find

And last, we all know Matt D is always on the ball and nary a peep on his page, I cry false flag...

And if it is NATO firing it depends on where the jet was when the missile struck, if they were not in their airspace then uh oh, shades of Cambodia and Vietnam

Stay cool, will let you know but all I see is Saber rattling on web sites trolling for traffic

I’m calling bull shit on this story. No credible sources. Witnesses don’t know what they saw. And no other news outlets are even hinting that this might have happened.

Yeah, I’ve done a lot of reading on American Technology vs. Russian and Chinese.

They are closing the gap, but there still is a gap, and it’s a pretty big one.

I don’t find any corroboration except for many mirrors of the same article on sites such as LunaticOutpost.com.

Several orders of magnitude less reliable than Debka.com.

I’m not sure anything coming from Al-Arabiya can be trusted either. But, IF that story is true (very big if), some Turkish pilot might have had a motive for revenge.

I think it’s equally likely that some local actor has faked the reports of a Russian plane downing.

You presuppose Obama will honir our committments and has a pair of gonads.

This (if it really happened) is more likely to result in NATO crumbling due to Ozero failing to honor our committments than us going to war with Russia

Yes I agree. You can’t believe anything from one source. Sometimes you can’t believe things from several sources because all the sources have the same agenda (like American MSM).

Russia will NOT accept its planes being shot down

They will if they invaded Turkish airspace.

....It happens every summer....the Turks over fly Greek airspace and the Greeks respond....it’s an attempt to stop tourists from visiting Greece.
