November 24, 201510 yr The pilots were shot and killed as they parachuted down. At least that's what I read earlier today. Correct.

November 24, 201510 yr Hard to imagine that Russia doesn't have a firm response. Things could get interesting.
November 24, 201510 yr Author Hard to imagine that Russia doesn't have a firm response. Things could get interesting. As I said the day Russia announced that they would help out Syria, this could get very bad for Putin very quick if the Russian deaths start to mount.
November 24, 201510 yr The "accidental" crossing into Turkish airspace a few weeks ago by Russia was no accident. Putin playing games, to see how far he can go. That is what I heard as well. Also, that Turks alerted Russian jet multiple times before being shot down.
November 24, 201510 yr Author Also, if these were US backed Rebels that shot down the rescue helicopter, as well as Rebels who shot at the pilots, where is IS? Wasn't Russia supposed to be in Syria to fight off IS? Proof that it was a bunch of garbage coming out of the Kremlin. They are there for one reason, to help Assad as he was hurt badly over the spring and summer by the rebels.
November 24, 201510 yr Propaganda machine will be working overtime in ole USSR. I wonder if Putin will be buried like Lenin.

Vietnam all over again but with clear lines drawn of who is fighting who for what reason.
November 25, 201510 yr Author Russia's PM days that the downing of the plane was "planned". Garbage! But, this puts Russia in an odd position, their news agency TASS, might as well just call it the "Whatever Putin tells us to say news agency". But they are telling Russians that this was a planned attack on one of their airplanes, if this was true, wouldn't their people expect some type of retaliation? Since they lied about this, if they now sit back and do nothing, Putin looks weak.
