It's a Briddish tradition. They produced more spies, traitors, and cowards than any other country during the Soviet era.
Turkey and Russia could easily take the world to the brink of WWIII

'If' is the key word, do you have some proof? Beside that the pilot was shot while in still in his parachute. That might be fine with you I don't think ISIS is going to be very thrilled about the blow-back and that would include their handlers.
Nothing like CanCon to bring complicated issues down to simple (in all senses of the word) slogans.
Since you are completely defenseless to Russian Military power (as pathetic as it is) I can see why you would side with the person most likely to kick your azz. It is the Russian AF and Russian Navy that has been sending your few planes and fewer ships scrambling time after time.
So, you being a stand-up kinda guy, what did you do about it? I served for twelve years. How bout you?
I'd say that Britain would have more chance of defeating the Russians than America has, considering that America got roundly defeated by a bunch of pyjama-wearing, bamboo-wielding peasant farmers in South East Asia. The British are a warrior race.
However, I don't know why you are talking about fighting Russia for. I'm on Russia's side as it fights ISIS and I'm wanting the West to form a coalition WITH Russia to fight ISIS, which is what the French are seeking.
You Americans really need to get over your with fixation with Russia. The Cold War's been over for 25 years and the West now has a new threat by the name of Islamism. The West and Russia need to team up to fight it.
Turkey needs to be kicked out of Nato. We can't be having an Islamist-run dictatorship trying to scupper our fight against ISIS within Nato.
My opinion of Eaglesmack is a irrelevant. Only a complete buffoon would think Turkey beat the Allies in WWI. Considering Blackie is the silliest twit on the forum, it's especially humiliating to be bested by him. I think ES might have the dubious dinstinction of being the only one.
He didn't say Turkey beat the Allies. He said Turkey beat the Brits. And they did, on several occasions.
In the highly unlikely event that I'm wrong, then in the thread where you posted the plane entered Turkish air space for a few seconds, you would be wrong. That's the beauty about your silliness. When you make two contradictory statements, you can't help but be wrong.
Actually, during WWI the British Empire defeated the Ottoman Empire, occupied Constantinople and saw to the empire's destruction. We then occupied large swathes of the former Ottoman Empire, which allowed us to found states like Israel and Jordan on its remnants.
ISIS Was actually an Egyptian. Her name was stolen so news readers could say ISIL as a word - because none of them could read Daesh.
One might think one who proclaims to know it all would know that....
