The fighter jet of my enemy's friend is....

As the story evolves, it's only going to become more and more labyrinthine.

Pure misunderstanding I feel.

One would hope so, but the whole thing is such a godawful mess it's hard to know who is supporting whom. any longer.

This has been posted on another earlier thread:

Are you confused by what is going on in the Middle East? We support the Iraqi government in the fight against ISIS. We don’t like ISIS, but ISIS is supported by Saudi Arabia who we do like.

We don’t like Assad in Syria. We support the fight against him, but ISIS is also fighting against him. We don’t like Iran, but Iran supports the Iraqi government in its fight against ISIS.

So some of our friends support our enemies, some enemies are now our friends, and some of our enemies are fighting against our other enemies, who we want to lose, but we don’t want our enemies who are fighting our enemies to win.

If the people we want to defeat are defeated, they could be replaced by people we like even less. And all this was started by us invading a country to drive out terrorists who were not actually there until we went in to drive them out. It's quite simple, really.

Do you understand now?

Yep, it's all as clear as mud. How could I possibly have been confused. Thanks Tezza.  or should that be  ?

Turkey shoots down Russian jet fighter

Sorry... I know it's not a laughing matter but...

when I first read that title a vision of a turkey shooting down a plane flashed by me.

gruesome video has been released

with the body of one of the pilots 

surrounded by the rebels yelling 

allahu akbar

No, Kopes...things don't really add up. 10 warnings in five minutes, when the jet could not have been in Turkish airspace for more than eight seconds, if at all. Ethnically, the border Syrians are Turks. Turkey is becoming less moderate, and might feel that Syrian oil, and a little bit more land might be nice here. The jet, would have been bombing those Turkey feels are Turks. Not Syrians.

Putin has called this a stab in the back. Turkey, will have known (as we all do) the purpose of the flight. At this point I can't blame Putin for being aggrieved.

Right now, I am genuinely concerned this will broaden.
