Anyone an Erdogan fan here? Report insults, says Turkish Consolate

Me neither but his shooting down of the Russian plane just entering from Syria has Russian trolls on the internet all atwitter.

Keep talking, eh, Blickers.

I have opinions on this and that but in this case I don't know enough. I do have biases, but so what, I don't trust them either.

I wish I could be more helpful. Erdrogen is too close to fundamentalists in his own country for Washington to be really happy with him. But he really did show up the Russians shooting down that Russian jet, much as Washington wishes he hadn't.

I don't remember the plane downed - see, I told you I can be dumb. I'm the type that reads a lot and forgets some of it.

Turkey shoots down Russian warplane on Syria border
24 November 2015


Turkish warplanes have shot down a Russian military aircraft on the border with Syria.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said the Su-24 was hit by air-to-air missiles fired by Turkish F-16s while it was flying over Syrian territory.

But Turkish military officials said the plane was engaged after being warned that it was violating Turkish airspace.

Mr Putin described the incident as a "stab in the back" committed by "accomplices of terrorists".

The crew ejected before the jet crashed in Latakia province, but Syrian rebels said at least one was dead.

It is the first time a Russian aircraft has crashed in Syria since Moscow launched air strikes against opponents of President Bashar al-Assad in late September.

The Nato military alliance, to which Turkey belongs, said it was following the situation "closely" and was in contact with the Turkish authorities. There will be an "informational meeting" of ambassadors in Brussels at 16:00 GMT.

PS: The US said the Russian plane did go over Turkish airspace. Russia yelled and hollered, but basically the Kremlin did nothing but make noise.
