War is Likely After Turkey Shoots Down Russian Jet, Ignores Putin’s Warning<\/a><\/h3>\n

It seems like full-blown war is only two seconds away with the wicked brew boiling in the Middle East. The latest?<\/p>\n

Turkey shot down a Russian warplane near the Turkish-Syrian border yesterday, claiming it did so after the plane violated Turkish airspace and was given ten warnings to leave which were ignored. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said they decided to shoot it down because the plane \u201cdid not answer our warning\u201d.<\/p>\n

Both pilots bailed out. Russian media later reported that one of the pilots was killed by fire ISIS shot at them from the ground. Turkmen forces in Syria said both pilots were shot dead as they parachuted from the plane.<\/p>\n

The US Ambassador to Turkey then Tweeted \u201cUnderstand this: Turkey is a country whose warnings should be taken seriously and listened to. Don\u2019t test Turkey\u2019s patience. Try to win its friendship.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, the other pilot did survive, and he said that\u00a0no<\/em>\u00a0warnings were received from Turkey before the plane was hit.<\/p>\n

In response, Putin shot back with some pretty harsh language, saying this was a \u201cstab in the back\u201d by the \u201cterrorists\u2019 accomplices\u201d:<\/p>\n

The shooting of the plane, Putin said, \u201crepresents a stab in the back by the terrorists\u2019 accomplices. I can\u2019t describe what has happened today in any other way. Our plane was downed over Syrian territory by an air-to-air missile from a Turkish F-16 jet.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe plane fell on Syrian territory 4 kilometers (2.5 miles) away from the Turkish border. It was flying 1 kilometer away from the Turkish border when it was attacked.\u00a0In any case, neither our pilots nor our jet posed any threat to Turkey. That is obvious. They were carrying out an operation fighting against ISIL in Northern Latakia.\u201d (ISIL is another acronym for ISIS.) (source<\/a>)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
