Turkey shoots down Russian fighter

[UCFKnight85]

Apparently the pilot died, his navigator is downed in Syria, Putin is vowing a response, and NATO is calling an emergency meeting.

Who is up for a little NATO/Russia conflict to go as a side dish with the Syrian Civil War/ISIS War main dish?

Turkey is a Muslim nation so we have their back.

I'm all for USA being a spectator in a war for once.

I'm guessing you don't know that Turkey is a NATO country.

 

[Bob the Citronaut]

We'd do the same if a foreign country flew a fighter into our airspace. So would Russia.

You would be guessing wrong.

interesting tidbit on CNN... military analyst Wesley Clark says that russia's assertions that Turkey is supporting ISIS could turn out to be true. Can we just get out of there and let them shoot each other to pieces?

Not sure how Clark would have any idea of this since he's spent the past 15 years hanging out with the DNC rats and BNK Petroleum.

Coke is too busy with hyperbole to rationalize anything going on.

Remember Korean Air Lines flight 007.

Uhhhhhh, what was the question?

lol!

Yea, and then they "entangled" themselves in foreign affairs left and right as they rapidly expanded into other countries' territory. The "Father of the Constitution" himself declared war on Britain to start the War of 1812, mostly because he didn't like the British having so much favor amongst the Native Americans in Midwest lands that he wanted to take possession of and settle on behalf of the United States.

Even Mr Small Government himself, Thomas Jefferson, doubled the size of the United States and went into debt to do it.

Nice one

I meant Washington

As for NATO, listening to off and on discussions on BBC Radio, the US is probably the only one in NATO that cares about the agreement. It seems a lot of citizens in Europe don't want their nation going to anyone's defense. They blab about the US and it's greed for oil, just look at what Europe ignores to get cheap Russian oil.
