Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet DavutoÄŸlu today revealed that he personally gave the order to down the Russian Su-24 fighter jet that lead to the death of one pilot.

“Despite all the warnings, we had had to destroy the aircraft” Davutoğlu told a meeting of his AK party. “The Turkish Armed Forces carried out orders given by me personally”

It’s interesting how all this is unfolding before our eyes.

If Putin attacks Turkey, and Turkey invokes article 5 of the NATO charter, it’s game on.

Turkey attacked the Russians. Article 5 of the NATO charter does not apply.

Russia would do the same thing. In fact, Putin’s friends recently shot down a commercial airliner with Putin’s weapons and then looted the crash site. I believe that Putin refused to believe that Turkey would ever stick up for itself and that Russia could just ignore Turkish borders. Putin screwed up again and miscalculated.

NATO asked Turkey why the Russian jet wasn't escorted out of the area

Any idiot can understand that you cannot escort someone out of the area when he has already left the area.

Look at the map....There is a little finger and the Russian plane, if it did violate their air space, past over the little tip. The plane was not flying into Turkey.

B. Hussein Soebarkah is taking Turkey’s side in this mess — that they were defending their territory. If Putin retaliates against Turkey in a significant way, you can bet the Turks do their utmost to drag in NATO.

Yep !

Now they are

[Sacajaweau]

Exactly

[donozark]

Wonder if this guy has a food taster?

[Sacajaweau]

I know that....That’s the point....we’re talking seconds...if they were encroaching at all.

[Cubs Fan]

Turkey used to be a pretty modern country, with women’s rights etc.

But they, like all of Islam, are moving backwards and becoming more extreme all the time.

[DesertRhino]

Wonder what kind of salad dressing he enjoys?

[P-Marlowe]

He's bating Putin to try and kill him.

It will look like an accident.

[The Cajun]

Poking the bear and bragging about it is not a wise move.

[Calpublican]

There may be a funeral in his future, sooner than he would like.

[Calpublican]

Of course b.o. is supporting Turkey; Turkey supports ISIS and so does b.o.

[twister881]

Agree. America’s destruction is coming from the inside, and the Kenyan traitor is accelerating the process.

If Putin attacks Turkey, and Turkey invokes article 5 of the NATO charter, it’s game on.

If Putin attacks Turkey, and Turkey invokes article 5, Turkey is on their own. No assistance to the stupid.
