Does anyone still think that Turkey is not behind ISIS
-
Russia has bombed 1000 trucks carrying oil from ISIS oil platforms in Syria back to Turkey in the last week and then we see that Turkey shoots down a Russian fighter that it seem did not even enter its air-space. Turkey knew Russia was not attacking it and was fighting ISIS along the border and too me it looks like Turkey got upset with Russia for blocking its cheap oil imports. See https://www.rt.com/news/323373-ankara-defends-isis-medvedev/[^] The U.S has said it has been fighting ISIS for two years inside Syria but got no where and Russia has them on the run after just one month and now we hear that the U.S gives the ISIS oil convoys a 45 minuite warning before it bombs them and thats only after being shamed into bombing them by a growing public anger. Don't even get me started on this new breed of terrorists that they call "Moderate Rebels" that cannot be very moderate when they all run off with guns we gave them and join ISIS
Troll turds, everywhere. :sigh:

Russia has them on the run? :sigh: Do you actually have any evidence (I'm disinclined to count Russian news outlets!) bearing in mind that the first Russian attacks somehow managed to miss IS targets altogether and hit Turkmen settlements instead. There's certainly a lot of people running when Russian aircraft come into Syria but given that Russian targeting technology is outdated and the motives for the attacks less than clear it's not necessarily the right people or for the right reasons. Turkey certainly has a lot to answer for in its relationship with IS but its being pissed off with Russia is a whole other can of worms.

This is not true from more than a decade. GPS bombs, targeting systems on Su-24 that can make pinpoint hits with "dumb" bombs within CEP of few meters. Naval and air lunched cruise missiles that hits their targets from 3000 miles. Only US is ahead of Russians in this area. So this stereotype is a little outdated.

I don't know what Turkey is doing. Ambushing and killing Russian bomber for revenge and then hiding behind NATO's back is not a good thing to do. Not at all. What's next? Sinking China's frigate?

The Russian government/military is not our friend. Has never been our friend. Will never be our friend. So, I don't care if Turkey shot down one of their jets. Putin is full of shit. Every word out of his mouth, smells like elephant farts.

All good, but they got these big nukes, you are obviously not aware of. And believe me, Turkey is not our friend as well. They despise us almost as much as Russians do. And I don't want them to drag us into a war with a nuclear power ruled from a semi-dictator, because their ambitions to grab a chunk from another country.

So.. Che Guevarra would be a terrorist? Let's take a more rediculous example; the Americans revolted against the British. That means they "rebelled". Are you saying those were terrorists? :rolleyes:

No, but they were traitors. A terrorist is an entirely different breed; his purpose is first and foremost to terrorize.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack. --Winston Churchill

Yes. They would have been classed as terrorists in those times. But the word, like the world, has evolved since then. For example only a few decades ago Homosexuals were classed as Sexual Criminals on a par with rapists and paedophilles. Thankfully the world has evolved since then. The reason the Americans/British who rebelled are not seen as terrorists is because they won. To give it a British perspective, if Guy Fawkes had been successful, Nov 4th would be a Public Holiday where we would all feast on luxury food whilst receiving presents from our loved ones. Instead we stand in freezing cold rain watching shitty fireworks when we might aswell set fire to our wallet and toss it over the garden shed to achieve the same effect.

Yes Russia said all that stuff, so it must be true. I see no reason why they would lie. None what-so-ever.
This is one of the rare cases they don't lie. Russian pilots were shot down for bombing Turkish insurgents in Syria(and yes, they had it coming). That's why the pilot was shot dead after he bail out. Simple revenge. What concerns me is that Turkey - also a dictatorship, is a NATO member. Actually the only dictatorship in the alliance.And we can see the result.

I'm a little in two minds about this. On one hand, there is the false urban legend that the US spent millions trying to make a pen that would work in zero-g, while the Russians simply took pencils. On the other hand, is the record of the soviets when it comes to re-usable liquid-fuelled rocket technology. The ill-fated N1 project produced both engines and materials that far exceeded that which the US could come up with for at least another 20 years.(The russians acheived closed-cycle operation first, in which the exhaust from the turbo-pumps is fed back into the combustion chamber, rather than being dumped. They also devised a stainless steel alloy whose heat resistance was something to be admired) The Russians have a track record for a propensity to throw brain-power at a problem before they throw money at it. And so on, and so forth. All anecdotal at best, irrelevant at worst. Yesterday I read an article that claimed Russian war-planes are using commercially available consumer-grade GPS units. Staggered, I wrote off the claim as one made by anti-Russian trolls. I then found these two gems amongst the noise. Rather an interesting development in light of this weeks' events I thought.. The jury's still out on this one. Russian jet with Garmin (1)[^] Russian jet with Garmin (2)[^]
