Moments ago Putin delivered a brief statement following the downing of the Russian jet by Turkish forces during a press conference with the King of Jordan. Here are the highlights:
- PUTIN SAYS LOSS OF RUSSIAN WARPLANE TODAY DUE TO BACKSTABBING
- PUTIN: DOWNED WARPLANE INCIDENT GOES BEYOND FIGHT VS TERROR
- RUSSIAN PRESIDENT PUTIN SAYS TURKEY BEHAVING AS IF RUSSIA SHOT DOWN ITS OWN PLANE
- PUTIN SAYS INCIDENT TO HAVE SERIOUS CONSQUENCES FOR TURKEY TIES
- PUTIN SAYS RUSSIAN WARPLANE IN NO WAY THREATENED TURKEY
- PUTIN SAYS RUSSIA HAS SIGNED AN ACCORD WITH THE US TO AVOID AIR INCIDENTS
Putin makes it quite clear that Turkey, a NATO state, is responsible for ISIS funding:
- PUTIN: OIL FROM ISLAMIC STATE IS BEING SHIPPED TO TURKEY
- PUTIN SAYS ISLAMIC STATE GETS CASH BY SELLING OIL TO TURKEY
- PUTIN: ISLAMIC STATE GETS MILITARY SUPPORT FROM MANY STATES
And the first official diplomatic escalation:
- TURKISH DEFENCE ATTACHE IN MOSCOW SUMMONED TO RUSSIAN DEFENSE MINISTRY – TASS
Some more from Russia’s Gazeta:
Russian President Vladimir Putin said that Turkey’s appeal to NATO partners to the incident with the Russian Su-24 looks like an attempt to put the alliance at the service of an “Islamic state.”
“We will analyze everything that happened, the tragedy would have serious consequences, including for the Russian-Turkish relations. I do not know who needed what is done today, but in any case not to us. And instead of immediately establish the necessary contacts with us, the Turkish side asked its NATO partners to discuss the incident, as if it were we shot down a Turkish plane, but they are not us. Do they want to put NATO at the service of ISIS? “- Putin said.
Earlier, Putin said that the incident with the Su-24 in Syria – a stab in the back, which caused us accomplices of terrorists.
The Su-24 has fallen in the Syrian province of Latakia. Earlier, the Turkish side took out Russian warnings for violating Turkish airspace during a military operation in Syria.
“Islamic State” – a terrorist organization banned in several countries, including Russia.
The futures did not like the sharp, accusatory tone to what many “experts” though would be a non-event.
All we had to do was destroy Isis. But no,we had to act like it instead. Now we are about to enter a shitstorm with the worst leader in the known world. We will be exposed as the pussies we are. Speaking in general terms here. Please don’t come to West Texas and try to kick my ass for calling you a pussy. I am old and to beat up from life to fight with my fists.
WW3 – Away we go!
This is “incident” #1.
“Incident” #2 will be an attack on either a Russian ship or an attack on Russian positions in Syria.
THEN it might be on like Donkey Kong.
And just in time for Christmas!
archiduke…
This is really a serious thing. You don’t go shooting down an airplane without a declaration of war.
Whether the su-24 was in Turkish territory is yet to be proved and I reserve judgement. If it was in Turkish territory, it was probably a mistake and Turkey should have brought it up to the UN and resolved it there, not shot it down.
If the plane was in Syrian or Iraqi airspace, then I think this is dire for peace in the middle East. Was Turkey put up to it? Is Turkey retaliating for the destruction of the tanker trucks destroyed by the Russians and US. Turkey was making a lot of money on the Isis oil sent thru Turkey.
If Turkey thinks that NATO has their back, they better think again. Russia would make quick work of Turkey and I think Europe will think twice about taking on Russia and China, Turkey be damned.
Personally, I think Turkey was put up to it. Someone is just aching for a war with Russia. I wonder who? I don’t think Putin wants a world war. It’s not to his best interests to go to war. He’s winning already. He wants greater trade with Europe and China and is making progress in that goal. Who is going to be the big loser is this comes to pass? Look in the mirror.
The situation is spiraling out of control and taking on a life of its own. This is like throwing lit matches around in a fireworks factory, and now a fire has started.
Its going to take a miracle for this to not explode into war.
Homer,
I doubt Turkey shot that plane down without at least some unofficial approval in advance from NATO.
Maybe even encouragement.
Just heard some pinhead on MSNBC tell the narrator that there was only one man in the world that could bring order to all the nonsense going on in Syria and Turkey this morning and that man was President Obama. Good grief, I cringe when I hear shit like that.
Admin…thanks for the update
We all knew it just a matter of time before “war planes”
would be getting shot down Misery. But such is the
nature of war.
Peaceout–Make you rethink any new coming out of the MSM concerning what happened. I guarantee that any news will demonize Putin and glorify Obama.
Like the Ukraine, all the NATO (think US) claims of Russian aggression in the Ukraine have not been proved and have faded into obscurity. So, what’s happening in Ukraine? Why is there no new news? Has Ukraine served its purpose?
Has Victoria Nuland’s 5 billion to destabilize Ukraine been wasted? Nah, we got their 40 tons of gold.
Homer – Agree, I think you can put that statement in the bank. Can’t wait to see how this storyline gets spun.
“Rebels” Shooting At Russian Pilots While Parachuting Caught On Tape
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 11/24/2015 12:37 -0500
If Putin was angry when Turkey shot down a Russian plane, which may or may not have crossed Turkish territory – reports on both sides are conflicting – he will be absolutely livid to learn that, according to Turkey’s Dogan News, the Russian pilots who had parachuted in an attempt to save their lives after the plane was shot down, had been executed while parachuting down by local rebels, which considering the video released earlier belonged to the Free Syrian Army, are same “rebels” who are funded directly by the CIA.
And this:
As Telegraph points out, the above tweet is from CNN Turk’s Foreign Editor who tweeted that the Turkmen rebels DHA spoke to said: “We hit at the two pilots after they parachuted.”
This, as many have already pointed out, is a war crime.
The only question is whether this, together with the provocative action by Turkey which many can see being an act of war, will be deemed as such by Putin.
As one commentator notes, in the video one person shouts over the gun fire, “don’t fire. Let’s take them prisoners. Don’t fire. Prisoners” but it was not meant to be.
… Or maybe they survived. Refuting all prior news on the fate of the Russian pilots we now get this:
2 PILOTS OF DOWNED RUSSIAN PLANE ARE SAID TO BE ALIVE: NTV
RUSSIAN PILOTS ARE HELD BY SYRIAN OPPS GROUPS: NTV
Just an attempt to diffuse an already lethal situation, or hope for some resolution? We should find out soon.
Update: as expected, it was a lie: According to preliminary data from the Russian General Staff, one Su-24 pilot was killed in the air by fire from the ground. The search and rescue operation is ongoing, according to the military body.
What was that video clip from V for Vendetta–“somebody’s going to do something stupid…”
Meantime, in a previously undisclosed location…..
Dick Cheney in his lair at “Site R” Raven Rock, rubs his hands together with his trademark sneer, and mutters, “The plan is working”. “W”, on his knees before him agrees, “yes master” and continues with his pleasuring of the dark one.
