and the lack of stars for your posts show who is the ignorant one
What an ignorant thing to say.
Not really, I star posts that I agree with, and in the past probably starred a few of xcathdras posts...On this issue I believe he/she is wrong and I was merely pointing out that imo the lack of stars on his/hers posts on this issue showed that no-one agreed with their view.

It would explain so much wouldn't it. But of course beggars a question of end game, whic I can't see. Unless they made an agreement with Russia to put ISIS on Turkey. Turkey gets the boot and becomes the fall guy and Russia and NATO split Syria and the proposed pipeline will now incorporate Russia's interests.
Wild speculation of course.

Turkish incursions into Greek airspace
Over 2000
Aircraft shot down

There is certain big boys rules we all play by, none of them include blowing each other out of the sky

They would have had every right to do so under the law is the response.
Just like I could shoot a twelve year old I caught breaking into my garage. If I am a big enough scumbag to not have regard for human life I can shoot and ask questions later even if my life isn't threatened.
Luckily I am a responsible gun owner. Turkey...not so much.

Of course he is saying that. Putin is all about image and the fact turkey, a nato member, shot down a russian aiorcraft violating its airspace makes putin look foolish. Even more so since he cant respond.
All he has left is the russian propaganda machine to paint an image of turkey that gains him the support of the russian people. Its the same tactic he used in Georgia... and Ukraine... Belarus and now turkey.
Russia may be a thug political culture but honestly Turkey was a mistake to bring into NATO for this reason.
