Turkeys Push Towards World War 3?
Turkey has reportedly shot down a Russian SU-24 Fighter jet along the border of Syria. The pilots whereabouts are yet unknown, although Russian officials have confirmed that they ejected from the plane before it was hit – Could this ‘reaction’ by Turkey take us all into an area of Conflict that there could be no turning back from?

The Russian Su-24 fighter has been shot down in Syria, the Russian Defence Ministry said, adding the plane hadn’t violated Turkish airspace and was flying at an altitude of 6,000 meters. Apparently the plane was warned several times by the Turkish military, before it was fired upon – Understandably President Putin has already confirmed verbally that ” this is a VERY serious incident”

As if tensions couldn’t get any tighter between Russia and NATO, this act of what appears to be ‘military madness” could spiral things way out of control.
Footage has reportedly emerged online, allegedly showing Russian pilots from the downed jet immobile on the ground and surrounded by locals. There have been some reports which have claimed that one pilot is dead!
The plane had reportedly crashed in a village mostly populated by Syrian Turkmen. The place has been a hotspot between the opposition and the Syrian Army. Lets not forget that Russia is a staunch ally of the Syrian Leader, Assad.
Reports of a downed plane emerged earlier in Turkish media. A Habertürk TV reporter on the scene said the aircraft “turned into a fireball.” Numerous witnesses wrote on social media, saying thick plumes of smoke have been rising from the jet crash site.
Turkish military added the plane had been warned at least 10 times over a period of five minutes before being shot down by two Turkish F-16 fighter jets. He said the plane had violated Turkish airspace.

U.I.P SUMMARY – Without meaning to sound like we are taking sides, what on earth was Turkey thinking!? Not only has Turkey shot down one of the most powerful countries in the worlds fighter jets, they have also attacked a country which is ‘trying’ it’s hardest to remove the Vermin that call themselves ISIS – which apparently is an enemy of Turkeys too after several bomb attacks in Turkeys city’s.
Since the conflict in Syria began Turkey has appeared to have sat on the fence and at times were actually even seen on the borders to Turkey watching the conflicts go on below between the Kurds and ISIS, with the United States bombing the terrorists from the sky – The battle at Kobani, Syria was later one by the Kurds/US after several weeks of fighting. Turkey were accused of ‘gloating’ at the violence happening next door to them.

Don’t get me wrong, the Kurds and Turks have been battling it out against each other for a long time now and it is important to remember that Turkey has taken in hundreds of thousands of refugees since the conflict in Syria began about 5 years ago. What Russia decides to do next is a concerning thought, they have invested a lot of time and effort recently in bombing ISIS from the skies in Syria, and in many people’s eyes (including U.I.P’s) they have dealt a far more aggressive bigger blow towards ISIS in the last few weeks than the allied forces have achieved in a whole year!
The West/NATO have a lot to answer for when it comes to the situation in Syria, due to the illegal unnecessary wars such as Iraq and the funding and arming of the rebels at the beginning of the 5 year civil war – it makes you wonder exactly what the West deem ISIS as – it could be this ‘evil death cult’ as Obama and Cameron refer to them as, could actually be viewed as a necessary evil for their own selfish agendas. It is very interesting that Obama apparently rejected many pilots clearance to bomb key ISIS targets in Syria!?
The next move is now Russia’s. Perhaps the ET’s know something that we don’t know, hence the dramatic increase in sightings!?

How will the Russian president respond to Turkey/NATO’s aggression?!
