Does someone want a World War 3 or something?! · 1:45pm Nov 24th, 2015
Russian Su-24 downed by Turkish F-16 plane?!
WHAT. THE. FUCK?!
I don't want to accuse anyone yet, because who knows what actually happened - allegedly, the Turks gave ten warnings before shooting, yet our Ministry of Defense maintains that no airspace violation took place.
Putin didn't mince words, as expected, calling that act a "backstabbing" - and honestly, I am not inclined to disagree with him. A series of publications claim that Turkey buys oil from ISIS and some people actively assist ISIS recruits in crossing Turkish-Syrian border. This article, for instance.
Seriously, Erdogan... what the fuck? Running to NATO only makes it look worse for us Russians, you know.
Let's hope we won't have another Cuban Crisis.
Bruh!this world is full of Assholes!

Eeyup
...
Why is this world full of assholes?!
3565629 good question
It seems odd, to be honest. If I were the leader of Turkey, I'd bring that secret to my grave, and try to avoid any conflicts. I can't think of a reason for them to admit it at this point.

What kind of secret? If you mean the downing of a plane, I don't think it could really be kept a secret. Our military force in Syria would definitely have noticed, if not the absence on radars, then comm silence (I presume). The reason behind Turkey running to NATO and revealing it appears to be an attempt to cast their own light on the event, where Russia is at fault (again) and violated Turkish airspace (again). (Seriously. After previous incidents, I don't think Russian pilots would be that stupid or careless.)
If you mean buying oil from ISIS and transferring them to Syria... in Erdogan's place, I would do so too, but it appears that if they did hide it, it was a sloppy job.
And the timing couldn't have been worse - today, Russian and French air forces were supposed to do their first joint mission.
okay this is getting beyond the pale... what in the world is going on right now?
Wait........you're Russian? Cool!
When you think about it we are technically already in a world war 3. Sure its not every country invading each other or anything but it is a fight that most of the worlds major country's are involved it.
I don't really know how bad it is in placed like america, but here in Australia we are constantly hearing something about ISIS and the efforts to counter them. Sure we may not have had a major terrorist attack down here something we are very tankful for but that dose not mean that they have not tried. There have been several attempts made so far and thankfully each one has been foiled but that dose not mean the fight is over.
It may not be country against country but this is a war and it is effecting the world. Just not on the same scale.
Of course this is just my opinion, its a very debatable topic.
On a side note, you are from Russia, Awesome!
