"Prá agir, Turquia pediu a EUA".
Both countries are NATO allies, united against Assad, wanting him toppled, actively complicit in supporting and using ISIS, as well as other terrorist groups as proxy foot soldiers in the war Obama launched in March 2011. It's inconceivable Turkey acted on its own, independent of US-dominated NATO. Its action is a major geopolitical incident - a premeditated act of war against Russia in Syrian airspace. Ankara claiming the aircraft entered Turkish airspace, ignoring multiple warnings, has the distinct aroma of a bald-faced lie to cover up a hostile act. Putin explained that Ankara didn't contact Russia after what happened; instead, it outrageously called an emergency late afternoon Tuesday NATO meeting - apparently wanting the Alliance to serve the interests of ISIS, he added. Its actions won't be tolerated, he stressed. Washington-backed Turkey also absurdly claimed issuing "10 warnings" before downing Russia's aircraft. Was it directly complicit with what happened? This bears repeating: it's inconceivable Turkey acted alone, without permission or direct complicity under NATO's highest authority. America provides 75% of its military budget. It calls the shots - deciding whether, when, where and how to act or react. Erdogan's action was reckless. Obama is playing with fire if his involvement with what happened is determined. Putin won't let it pass without appropriate actions in response, which have already begun.
An official protest has been lodged with the Turkish military attaché. A Russian Defense Ministry statement said "(w)e are considering the actions of the Turkish air forces as an unfriendly act." Moscow's anti-terrorist campaign in Syria will continue as planned, maybe intensified further after what happened. Turkey has now, clearly and openly, declared itself an adversary in the war on terrorism, risking direct confrontation with Russia. A Turkish Lockheed-Martin produced F-16 war-plane willfully and without provocation downed Russia's aircraft posing no threat to Ankara's national security, Putin explained. He's well aware of Erdogan's complicity with terrorists Russia is combating in Syria - at the request of its government, its actions entirely legal and heroic against a common scourge. "IS has big money, hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars, from selling (stolen Syrian) oil. In addition, they are protected by the military of an entire nation,"

Putin stressed - leaving no doubt he means Turkey, well aware of Washington using ISIS and other takfiri terrorists as proxy foot soldiers against Assad's legitimate government. He went on: "One can understand why they are acting so boldly and blatantly, why they kill people in such atrocious ways, why they commit terrorist acts across the world, including in the heart of Europe." Recalling Russia's ambassador may come next. Expect Putin to react appropriately to what happened. It's too serious to ignore or smooth over through normal diplomatic channels between both nations. Putin explained that Ankara didn't contact Russia after what happened; instead, it outrageously called an emergency late afternoon Tuesday NATO meeting - apparently wanting the Alliance to serve the interests of ISIS, he added. Its actions won't be tolerated, he stressed. Washington-backed Turkey also absurdly claimed issuing "10 warnings" before downing Russia's aircraft. Was it directly complicit with what happened?
