The Russians better learn how to navigate.
I still can't believe the Turks... THE TURKS... splashed a Russian jet.
Grave consequences... meh... if the Turks... THE TURKS... can flame a Russian jet the Russians have a lot of work to do.
Brits were support troops for the most part. The hardest fighters in the Commonwealth Forces were Canadians and ANZACS... as usual.
Brittain was irrelevant in WWII. England was used as a staging area for US and Commonwealth Troops. And let's not even talk about the Pacific. The Brit Navy ran from the IJN in 1941 at the first shot and didn't turn up until 1945. lol
THE hospital?
The Russians haven't stopped bombing hospitals since they started.

You're just salty. Emperor Putin has no clothes.
Normally, don't feed the troll is good intel ... but in the case of a certain pompous Brit nit wit, it may well be very entertaining to set it in the middle of something that isn't Brit and watch it explode
That's why we do it. Captain Pugwash proved long ago that entertainment value is all he's got.
It is a very frustrating time for them. Since the beginning of October we've seen nothing but failure from the Russians in Syria from weapons platforms to politics. The cost in lives and treasure just climbs for the Russians.
I have to hand it to Obama... he called it. That must sting.
Yeah, well, ain't like "incompetent and brutal Russians" is all that hard a prediction to make.
Hey! If you treat a puppy the way we treat Captain Pugwash, I'll turn you in myself!
More like dealing with rats or other vermin:
1. Set up trap.
2. Wait for predictable fall.
3. Dispose of body.

It seems that a heat signature shows it was shot down in Syrian airspace.
By the way, the Turks are very good at encroaching onto foreign territory themselves, and each of those times - when they went into Iraq in 1995, 1997 and 2008 - lasted for more than 17 seconds.

Which means they're not allowed territorial integrity, right, Captain Pugwash?
The fact that they intruded into Iraq seven years ago (if true) means that they should not be allowed to demand control of their airspace. That's your logic.
1) You have no evidence the plane strayed into Turkish territory;
2) Even if it did enter Turkish territory, it seems that it was for 17 seconds and therefore posed almost no threat whatsoever to Turkey's sovereign integrity. The Turks massively over-reacted;
3) A heat signature - seen by at least one American official - shows the plane was shot down in Syrian airspace, and the Turkish planes which shot it down may have been on Syrian airspace as they did so;
4) A Russian airman was killed by Turkish-allied rebels - a serious war crime.
I'll say again that you Yanks really need to get over your anti-Russian fixation. The Cold War ended 25 years ago, and so did the Soviet Union. We should now be going ahead with France's plan of forming a coalition with the Russians to fight ISIS. Unless you don't want ISIS defeated...
As for Turkey, it's an Islamist-run, ISIS-sympathetic state. It should be kicked out of Nato and told it will never join the EU, and least not until it sees the errors of its way and sorts itself out.
So, it's a British war crime that Americans abused prisoners at Abu Ghraib? Being "British-allied" and all, right?
Don't try to be clever, Captain Pugwash. It's beyond you.
