#1 it is escalating

Turkey is killing and locking up reporters who know about their arming ISIS

and their agents in other countries (turkish spies in australia too) are pumping facebook with anti-russian pro-turkish propaganda

eg - that Russia was trying to bomb refugee camps. Or *how many times does turkey have to warn russia in our airspace*

much as i hate putin i can smell the stench of turkey supporting ISIS now it is in my nostrils

#3 You know, I was sure Recep will (eventually) start a war with Israel. Instead, he's started a war with Russia.

#5 Don't dare say that Turkey is chicken!
He's itching to hand out a licking,
In pointy-toed shoes
He's just dying to use...
"Somebody is getting a kick-- aieeeeeee!"

#6 IIRC from before Thanksgiving, Putin was sending an upgraded or improved KIEV-class Battlecruiser -the RNS MOSKVA - to stand watch off Syria.

AFAIK the Cold War-era KIEVS are deemed the real platforms, core, or symbols of the Russian Navy's warfighting ability, NOT its Strategic or Tactical Nuke Submarines given the two latters' myriad probs both at sea andor in port.

NOt to argue, however, that Russia's Subs aren't potent or dangerous.
