Since Ankara is the capital of Turkey, I have to doubt the veracity of this story.
Turkey. How ironic, right around Thanksgiving.
Yeah, never mind that Istanbul happens to be the ancient Christian capital Constantinople.
Ok that headline does not match the story.
waah
I have no doubt that there are people who think that Russia should do this.
I once heard a guy suggest that we should irradiate the entire Middle East, including the Arab countries, Israel and Iran so as to make it a place that no one can live at for about 300 years. Well, that is a solution, I guess. Of course, if you warn everyone, there may be the mother of refugee problems.

Great, now this nutbag joins in. Fortunately, most everyone knows he’s cuckoo. Erdogan ain’t much better, either.
I doubt that any of these lunatics who say, “Whee, kill everybody” will be volunteering themselves for the front lines.
Word in the security world is that Obama provided and is providing U.S. military radar tracking data to the Turkey Air Force for targeting Russian bombers.
Chief Of Russian Air Force Accuses Turkey Of Coordinated Ambush On Downed Jet
11/27/2015 12:04 -0500
By now everyone is aware of the Turkish side of the story of how a Russian Su-24 was downed by a Turkish F-16 on Tuesday morning, when it allegedly crossed into Turkish airspace for a grand total of 17 seconds, with Turkey supposedly warning the Russian bomber which had been targeting alleged jihadists in the region no less than “ten times.” Turkey even produced an alleged recording of said warning, which Russia implied was faked as the surviving pilot made it very clear no actual warning had been received by the Russian warplane.
So now that Russia has had three days to go through the evidence and assemble the pieces of what it thinks happened, here is the summary as presented earlier today by the Commander in Chief of the Russian air force, Viktor Bondarev, which however presents a very gloomy picture with dire consequences for the peaceful geopolitics of the middle east.
Vladimir Zhirinovsky? I thought he was worried about the Russian demographic implosion? Instead of inciting more wars which will no doubt cost even more of the already meager population of healthy Russian men, he should be horizontal somewhere making Anna Kournikova (or somebody) pregnant?
We certainly don’t want to nuke Constantinople, with all its historical sites, and its history as a center of Christian civilization.
Just kick the Turks back across the water where they belong.
Finally, a good idea from Putin.
Roast turkey! Tis the season.
Are there ANY real journalists anywhere?
I—will—withhold—comment.
Slavic people have hot tempers and have been known to plunge the world into war over relatively small things.
They aren’t going to wipe out Turkey. They are just going to make them very very sorry.
If Putin did this, he would be doing Western Civilization and mankind as a whole a great service.
