Who Said It? "A Short-Term Border Violation Can Never Be A Pretext For An Attack"
Turkey has a right to defend itself and its airspace, President Obama said on Tuesday after Ankara’s F-16s shot down a Russian Su-24 which Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan claims ventured into Turkish airspace for a grand total of 17 seconds.
Similarly, Erdogan said on Wednesday that Turkey was simply acting to defend its security.
Of course you can take everything Erdogan says with a grain of salt because if we’re being honest, he’s an autocrat and largely thanks to his government, Turkey is a tyrannical frontier market masquerading as a largely developed democracy.
When it comes to NATO and the West you can always find a contradiction or two (or five) when it comes to foreign policy rhetoric which is why we weren’t at all surprised (although we were amused) with what we found when we decided to take a look back at what Erdogan said in 2012 after Assad’s air force shot down a Turkish F-4 phantom jet when it crossed into Syrian airspace.
Here's a map showing the flight path of the F-4 and where it disappeared (via BBC):
And now, prepare yourself for some of the most epic hypocrisy ever to spew from the mouths of NATO and its allies. From BBC ca. 2012:
Syria insists the F-4 Phantom jet was shot down inside Syrian airspace. The plane crashed into the eastern Mediterranean and its two pilots are missing.
Mr Erdogan spoke of Turkey's "rage" at the decision to shoot down the F-4 Phantom on 22 June and described Syria as a "clear and present threat". "A short-term border violation can never be a pretext for an attack," he said.
Well, apparently it can, because that's exactly what Turkey did on Tuesday - use a 17 second incursion as an excuse to shoot down a Russian warplane.
But it doesn't stop there:
In a statement, NATO's 28 members said the shooting down of the plane was "unacceptable" and they stood together with Turkey "in the spirit of strong solidarity".
Nato Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said: "It is another example of the Syrian authorities' disregard for international norms."
It's funny - NATO didn't say Turkey had "disregarded international norms" on Tuesday.
And finally:
Turkey has also accused its neighbour of firing on a search and rescue plane looking for the F-4 Phantom jet, although it was not brought down.
Oh, you mean kind of like the Turkish-supported and US-armed FSA First Coastal Division did yesterday when they used an American-made TOW to destroy a Russian search and rescue helicopter killing one Russian Marine in the process?
Enough said.

in retailiation for this I will eat turkey Tomorrow
Happy Thanksgiggling to ya! ;-)
Looney
And people in power expect anyone to believe what comes out of their mouths... lol
All they need is enough people to believe, or be dependent on them so they choose to pretend to believe. The percentage of people that have a clue is in the single digits. I know, I've talked to scores of them.
I'm done with them; Let 'em burn.
The partisan shit is incredible. Blue team Obama retards are now war-hawks, and many of the Red team dopes now support Putin.
Never trust anybody that votes because you never what other retarded shit they might do.
At least they didn't shoot the Turkish pilot then...
An F-4 Phantom? Were there no F-104's to scramble that day? What did they shoot it down with, a blunderbuss?

I really used to love The Saker. But lately, John Rambo seems to be sourcing a lot of his sitereps to obviously biased websites.
If he was presenting them as "haha, look at these idiots" it would be different. They are comming across as fact.
Totally detracting from the point of The Saker. To get out the truth, that MSM will not print.
meanwhile, secret ISIS bomb-making lair littered with US weapons

Just in 2014 Turkey violated Greek airspace 2244 times. That's on average 40 times per day.

Filthy hypocrites!
But, we are all infidels to Erdogan. Less than dogs. Anything goes. No ethical obligation.
Fogh Rasmussen another psychopath that should be in the dock with Blair, Bush and the rest of the gang.
NATO = North Atlantic Terrorist Organization.
I wish I could get a copy of this band's album.

Turkey just put herself on a straight path towards a world of hurt.
And damn that's gonna hurt bigtime:

Followers Of A Mysterious Turkish Islamic Cleric Have Donated Heavily To Hillary’s Campaign And Family Charity
http://dailycaller.com/2015/11/22/followers-of-a-mysterious-turkish-isla...
The largest donation from a leader of the Gulen movement, which is operated from Pennsylvania’s Pocono Mountains by a moderate Muslim cleric named Fethullah Gulen, came from Recep Ozkan. (RELATED: Here’s A Map Of Radical Mosques In The U.S. [Interactive])
A former president of the Gulen-linked Turkish Cultural Center, Ozkan gave between $500,001 and $1,000,000 to the Clinton Foundation in recent months, the charity’s website shows. He also served as a national finance co-chair last year for a pro-Clinton political action committee called Ready PAC.
According to Portland State University political science professor Birol Yesilada, who has studied the Gulen movement for more than 25 years, Ozkan is the New York liaison for the 74-year-old Gulen, who has lived in the Poconos since 1999 when he went into exile after he was accused of attempting to undermine Turkey’s secular regime in order to institute an Islamic state.
Hill'rey is a filthy cow that belongs in prison. She has literally been involved in non-stop scandals for over 40 years.
It takes a hell of a nerve for Turkey to say anything about border violations since they've been flying into Syria uninvited and dropping bombs as part of this "coalition" of border violaters. It's absurd.
gulen in not a lightweight player.
gulen is deeper part of the deep state.
has done an amazing job of staying out of the limelight for decades.
That guy get s me everytime...
If he's making money off clicks then hats off....looking forward to next zh article Re trannys.
Especially at work. Reading ZH now becoming a hazard to your ability to make aliving because of this asshole. Come on man.
Thanks. I was closing out tabs, and had a porn window open, and could not figure out how it got there. I guess it pays well. Maybe its how the philiacband band makes money?
for some reason my computer blocks them. is it bad quality pron?
I don't get it man. Always the same link. Why are you into some random dudes balls -- unless they are YOUR balls.
Just lazy. :)))
You should try something that isn't essentially the glorification of another man's genitalia.
Oh, I didn't click on it but if your latter scenario is correct I can only assume it's electron microscope filmography.
That's anal magic, isn't it?
we hate you for your freedom - what a joke
We now know without any doubt who that is.
Who said that that the anti-christ will come from Turkey. Is it this guy?
Rescued pilot is confident they never entered Turkish airspace, first interview.

It has been mentioned here by one or two others. Wish they would start beating that issue in to the ground.
Lets talk about the border. There are 2 arguments here, and according to each party, and they are both correct.
I want to see the Turkish version of the map, vs. the Syrian & Russian versions of the same map, complete with GPS coordinates.
Exactly WHICH border is being discussed here? I wanna see the fucking line, inch by inch, WITH COORDS!!!
See, this is more of the same fuckery! Confuse people with bogus arguments without addressing the actual issue.
The only thing I see western media willing to question is "Does this make Putin look bad?"
ANGST!
Unless I am misunderstand something, back in the 70's Syria shot down a Turkish plane, and as a result, just decided to take 5 miles of Syrian terriroty as its own.
Interesting note,
and also,
Basically, they use the term terrorist when it suits them.
Ok, who has links to Turkey claiming 5 miles of Syrian territory as a buffer zone?
My searches are buried with the latest happenings.
The US leeches are clamoring for a no-fly-zone as well, but just to run cover for the desert rats.
Here you go.

Touchdown, hole-in-one, three-pointer, hat-trick, Gooooallll!!!
Thx soo much for that.
Finally, the issue. I would love to see these media ass-hats have a meltdown over this. Throw this up into their face and watch them slip into a seizure where the only word they can say through clenched teeth while choking on their own tongue is "Butcher!!".
Turkey unilaterally moved its border? Jesus fuking Christ! This is what it was like before WWI. These crazies want a major war. All we can do is helplessly watch.
Cartography is an esoteric art, and a strategic tool of war planners. My first experience with international law involved a boundary dispute (and two different maps) which was eventually resolved... with the ironic help of a map stolen from the other party.
The "inch by inch" aspect is also critical Thailand and Cambodia and have been laying land mines and shooting at each other while fighting over literal inches, trees and rocks around Preah Vihar temple for over 50 years.
All Western world leaders, along with Erdogan, seem to have gone completely, moon barking mad.

The nuclear bombs will be dropping soon - make sure you have lots of whiskey, oxy, and weed.
(it's about all you can do when it comes to that)
I really wish someday Tyler would draw attention to what i feel and many is a game changer regarding what is going on. Millenium Report did a great bit on Francis Connely "JFK to 9-11 Everything is a Rich Man's Trick" Fellow ZH ers. If you havent taken the time trust me. , this will be some of the best time you will ever spend in regards even what we are seeing this very hour but the coverage of the past actually answers what is going on in the present. . Hitler=ISIS .. same thing.

"JFK to 9-11 Everything is a Rich Man's Trick"
Watched the first few minutes of it. It absurdly claimed 8 shooters in Dealey Plaza.
One man with a gun shot Lincoln. One man with a gun shot Garfield. One man with a gun shot McKinley. One man with a gun shot Teddy Roosevelt. One man with a gun shot at Franklin Roosevelt. One man with a gun shot Reagan. One woman with a gun shot at Ford.
The evidence squarely pointed at Oswald, as to JFK.
Actually, both Lincoln and Kennedy were shot by their batshit wives.
Possibly using the same derringer.
Not the same bullets tho.
The fire ball that came out the right side of kennedy's head was a hot shot of burning metal.
The best snuff film evar!
Of course jacky was jewish and involved in the jesuits.
But no one ever talks about that for some, strange reason....
The limo got shot up. There were more than 3 bullet holes. Oswald "only" shot 3 rounds, so therefore someone else had to have shot the other rounds.
Looks like USSA is pretty much the poster child. And they just keep getting better and better and better.
