I know it's thanksgiving and all....but what the hell...


MOSCOW —Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev on Thursday called for tough sanctions against Turkey that could bite into more than $30 billion in trade ties between the two countries, as police here began seizing Turkish products and deporting Turkish businessmen.

Russian officials are seething after Turkish F-16s downed a Russian warplane over the Syrian border in a debacle that ultimately left two Russian servicemen dead. Turkey says that the Russian plane breached its airspace and was warned five times to turn back, charges that Russia denies.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has described the act as “a stab in the back from the accomplices of terrorists,” and on Thursday said in televised remarks that Turkey still had not apologized over the incident.

On Thursday, it became clear that the Russian government was now turning its ire on whatever extensions of the Turkish economy it could get its hands on.

In a really bizarre twist now Turkey is claiming they didn't know they hit a Russian plane. I put a thread up about it. I swear as I was reading the article I had the Twilight Zone theme song playing in my head.



ETA: Now Turkey claims it DIDN'T KNOW doomed jet was Russian before blasting it out of the sky

Why did it take Turkey just 17 seconds to shoot down Russian jet?

Putin got spanked!

It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

One thing that we do not need is more turmoil in that section of the world and it looks like we are going to get it anyway. At some point, Russia is going to be a huge problem.

You obviously haven't been paying attention what Russia has done since the downing of the jet.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Putin won't retaliate directly, Turkey will know when Russia strikes back.

They don't do fake red lines in the sand

What, did Putin take another 10% pay cut?

You're a card. What has it been 2 Russia jets down in 2 weeks and his reply, and all he's come up with, is better not do it again. Against this clown, Obama looks like Detroit just did against Philly.

Russia is not the problem in the Middle East. The turmoil in that section of the world has been because our moronic western leaders won't stop till they get the Muslim Brotherhood in another country after they blew it so big in Egypt.
