CFP: The incident involving the shooting down of a Russian warplane by the Turkish military may have had to do with Turkey’s cooperation with the radical Islamic fighters in Syria and Russia’s decision to help the Arab dictator Bashar al-Assad fight both the Islamists and the secular rebel fighters attempting to over-throw Assad.
In the aftermath of the Turkish military shooting down a Russian air force plane, the killing of its pilot, and the attack on a Russian rescue helicopter, the violence between those two nations is becoming more intensified, according to an American expert on radical Islam, Walter Anasara, a former police counterterrorism unit leader. more here
Everyone keeps calling Turkey out ally, with allies like that who needs enemies
Why is it that Bashar Assad was the “Protector of Christians and Jews” and a Middle East “moderate” and infinitely more pro-West than his dad, Hafez Assad, until the rise of ISIS and the Caliphate?
We’re re-writing history from only 15 years ago?
WTF?
If you’re hungry, here’s my newly invented sammich.

Spread two slices of your favorite bread with RUSSIAN dressing. Pile on sliced TURKEY that’s left over from your Thanksgiving feast.
From the cook who brought you the “Construction Worker” Sandwich.
I’m sure there were a couple more TOW Missiles on those trucks too
Turkey/NATO arming ISIS? I guess Killary failed to arm them.
What the fuck is going on here?
When I was a kid, there was this saying: “Russia got Hungary and fried Turkey in Greece.”
Turkey is a cold-war relic ally. They need to be tossed out of NATO, yesterday.
Hopefully, if Putin has read his history, he will decide to take the Dardanelles and Hellespont away from the “Mussleman” and restore Constantinople to its preeminent place in Orthodoxy. Imagine hearing church services once again in Hagia Sophia.
C’mon Vladimir… whatcya waitin’ for? The ghosts of Peter the Great, Catherine the Great and innumerable lesser czars and Orthodox Patriarchs beckon you on! Erase the outrage of 1453!!!!!
The US is currently enabling and facilitating ISIS in committing evil. It’s as simple as that. Turkey, a NATO ally, is arming those who brutalize men, women, and children. Our government facilitates their mission to create a caliphate, no matter what.
Since both world wars were began while DemonRat progressives were in power here I strongly suspect that the third one will begin with the same exact circumstances, Rat Progressives in power. All three times heralding a new world, one world govt order.
The first one could have been avoided had progressives not been so damn blind to the horrors of war. Since none of their children ever in the trenches and fox holes you can see how indifferent they are with YOUR offspring their instead.
I was in the Hagia Sophia a couple of years ago – needs a lot of bleach.
Arabs have infiltrated western leadership and the UN.
Why not NATO? This trend can’t be coincidental.
The West has been compromised at the top.
Which is a shame, because I would have like to see it. Oh well.
I need more coffee.
The Demonrats are the party of War, Famine, Pestilence, Death, and, probably more importantly – Lies.
The Republicrats are working hard to emulate them.
Still beautiful – just has all that arabesque crap all over it.
Yeah, hard to avoid looking at the upright syringes stuck around it.
Everyone keeps calling
TurkeyOBAMA ourallyPRESIDENT, withalliesPRESIDENTS like that who needs enemiesAll I remember was from high School:
“Rushin’ hands and Roamin’ fingers….”
Just curious, but did Putin drop leaflets first telling the ragheads to get away from the trucks?
Y’know, like … that other dude did.
I sure wish I had a Toyota dealership over there….
Oh. I didn’t date boys like you.
LOL.
Upgrading to lo-flow toilets , or just … ?
Go go go Russia.
Looks like Putin has his set, and Barry’s set too.
I was such a cold war warrior, I can’t believe I’m warming up to putin. He does care about his country, unlike our “leader” who despises us.
For ever and ever and unto ages of ages. amen.
Putin is a monster, and O’bamalamadingdong said he’d be more flexible after re-election. heh!
Putin gets world respect because he does things the way a man would do them. And he aims to kill any enemy that attacks his homeland, unlike the traitor 0bama.
But Putin is still not to be trusted.
That said, I would trust him before I would trust Barry Hussein any day or night.
One wears a Christian cross his mother gave him around his neck, the other wears an islamic ring that praises allahh in place of a wedding ring.
