Just the time for Dave to get his bombers out
|

By:
don't think Dave has decided which side he's on yet
|
|
By:
Doesnt matter to Dave he will push a vote for it soon, what could possibly go wrong
|
|
By:
why would we even get involved.
let russia pummel them |

By:
early reports: idiot turks shoot fown russian jet over the occupied territories.
russia with french and german deals, a significant conventional military and a full range nuclear arsenal. turks who recently chanted allu ackbar at international football game minute of silence for paris have a tenuous article 5 agreement and a few rickety planes. obama has golf and fundraisers scheduled until late 2016. your move vladimir |

By:
so if you get past the turks,and putin doesnt blow you out of the sky and assadd leaves you alone,and you can avoid the usual blue and blue with the yanks you can concentrate on looking for isis amongst all the civilians in raqqa,this makes kelly heros look like an up to date cutting edge fighting unit, LOL,good luck cameron

We have already chosen our side. Turkey are a member of NATO.

what did the mastermind war general gideon say at the weekend us staying out is a massive coup for isis,well they must be pishing themselves this morning as the coalition blow each other out of the sky

We have already chosen our side. Turkey are a member of NATO.
can the turk invoke article 5 given they were the aggressor over occupied territory or possibly clear syrian territory? and can they then refuse to attack their own isis if the french invoke the same article after the paris attack? |
|
By:
This has really put us in a predicament. We are tied to Turkey via NATO and hence any action against them by Russia and we may be forced to act.

By:
hoping this doesn't put up the price of a kebab
|
|
By:
Depends where it was shot down, conflicting reports
|
|
By:
not sure Putin will give too much of a sh1t where it was shot down and rightly so. If it had been a British plane would Turkey have shot it down

suddenly the odds of syria being broken up have drifted, the turks however...
kurds to the right of them greeks to the left of them russians to the north of them syrians to south of them i'm guessing these unapologetic genocidal extremists will talk and beg their way out of it though. |

By:
us act against putin oh the joy,we,re currently subcontracting our obligations to the french and yanks to look for a russian sub we,ve lost track of on the scottish coast, LOL
|
|
By:
Britain is in Nato mover, why would Turkey shoot down one of our planes?
However Britain would I hope shoot down a Russian plane that entered our airspace and we would be entitled to do so. |
|
By:
if the french and yanks could tell us where the planes was obviously
|
|
By:
theres been lots of russian planes in recent years invaded our airspace that we havnt shot out of the sky
|
|
By:
If they have it is only briefly and they would have left swiftly after being warned. The would be shot down if they didn't.
|
|
By:
and to think the russians were a tin pot army and a failing economy just a few years ago in a euro stand off over ukraine, now just a few years later they have europe in their pocket and are just a few moves from taking the majority of the mid east. must have been up against s child grade opponent in this chess game.
a bit like rotherham making it to the fa cup final. |
|
By:
Don't know about a few years ago, but they're certainly a failing economy now.
|
|
By:
an economy similar to Britain's...can't afford a health service but can magic up £4 billion for more spies and cyber security at the drop of a hat

By:
Russians were guilty (accused of?) 440 infringements of NATO air space in the last 12 months, so they've got impressive form.

Turkish Lira going down quicker than a Russian jet
|
|
By:
but it's be nice if Turkey was as vigilant about its land border with Syria as it is about its airspace.
|
|
By:
The Turks dont like Russia bombing rebels they support, also the Turks unilaterally imposed 5 mile buffer into Syrian airspace, Might be were the confusion lies
|

Just looked on Twitter and World War III is trending just below Harry Styles, so things must be getting serious.

trigger happy muslims where have we seen this before
putin supports assad and the turks don't like it but the usa give turkey the go ahead to bomb kurds |
|
By:
was a strange decisions to ask turkey for a base to bomb isis even though the kurds are anti isis......big question marks over the yanks participation in this.
why arm the rebels knowing what happened previously? are they really that stupid (along with our gvernment for going along with it) or is it just wanting to be seen to be standing up against what russia thinks is right? |
