How WORLD WAR III Could start

Make no mistake: the potential consequences of Turkey’s decision to shoot a Russian fighter jet out of the sky for allegedly violating its airspace near the Syrian border are profoundly chilling.

This unprecedented act by Turkey — the first time in 50 years a Nato country has brought down a Russian jet — is extraordinarily provocative.

in the coming days and weeks we are far more likely to witness dramatically escalating tensions between Russia and the Nato alliance, of which Turkey is a key member.

slamist-ruled Turkey is strongly opposed to Russia’s ally, the Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, and has been long accused of duplicitously backing Islamic State.

But even those in diplomatic circles will be aghast at the situation’s rapid deterioration.

For adding to Russia’s outrage and humiliation, ethnic Turks inside Syria — who are allies of Turkey, enemies of the Assad regime and fierce opponents of Russian airstrikes — also, it seems, committed a blatant war crime, by shooting dead one of the two Russian pilots as they parachuted out.

These supposedly ‘moderate’ Turkmen rebels proceeded to celebrate by firing their machine guns in the air, while abusing the corpse of the pilot and screaming ‘Allahu Akbar’ (‘God is the greatest’) in Arabic.

Moreover, just hours after the shooting down of the Russian jet at the Syrian border, a Russian helicopter was downed in another part of Syria by the Western-sponsored Free Syrian Army, using an advanced surface-to-air missile of the kind supplied to them by the thousand by our Persian Gulf allies. Unsurprisingly, we are now menacingly being told that the Russian defence ministry is ‘devising a set of measures to respond to the incident’.

Yesterday, Obama seemed to justify Turkey’s downing of a Russian jet — reiterating, no doubt to Turkey’s delight, his belief that Russian strikes against ‘moderate’ Syrian opposition ‘only bolsters’ the Assad regime, whose brutality has helped fuel the rise of IS.

So how will Putin respond? Russia’s first retaliatory military act is likely to be a relentless assault on the Turkmen rebels. If and when that happens, for the first time since Russia’s incursion into Syria two months ago, the Russian air force will be brought into direct military conflict with the moderate rebels funded, trained and armed by the West and its allies.

This would occur just as dozens of American Special Forces arrive in Syria to embed themselves with those very same Western-backed anti-Assad rebels.

The prospect of Russia and the West engaging in this way in the military arena can only be met with horror.

It’s still far to talk about world war III. expect intensified proxy war in Syria and also Ukraine.

My two cents are this whole mess is choreographed.

While world war 3 seems far fetched, the actions by turkey will have serious consequences for its ambitions to join the EU and it could further lead to its expulsion form the NATO alliance. After all its not like turkey is a very welcome member anyways. while NATO survived the cold war era, this could be a big blow towards its unity.

it seems the intentions of turkey was to distract the world powers from uniting against IS, for which it is widely known to be a sympathizer.

Highly unlikely for WWW3 to occur Russia might respond by cutting ties with Turkey, they have already announced ending a joint millitary programme the two countries were involved in and probably the proxy war in syria will escalate, a full blown war between countries can have very dire consenquences at these day and age all world leaders try to avoid such a war at all cost

Putin has just ordered the deployment of advanced anti aircraft missile defense systems near the Syrian border with Turkey which effectively means Turkey will no longer be able to fly any military jets near those areas immediate to its borders with Syria.
Shit is about to get real.

That was a normal reaction to airspace violation. Putin’s staying put.

Do you have any idea how long it lasted?
17 ferking seconds was all the time the Russian plane was in Turkish airspace.
Turkeys action was premeditated.

17 secs@ Mach 2 is way past the colon…:smiley:

But still not time enough to give 5 warnings of violation. Turkey is clearly lying.

Putin won’t try anything until the PAK-FA is ready for service.

one hand to chin the other hand on desk tapping finger Hmmm what was Turkey thinking? What is Turkey planning? Who is backing Turkey? How will Putin react?

WWIII? Highly unlikely? Turkey can invoke article 5 of the NATO treaty if Russia directly retaliates but given the circumstances, Turkey was the aggressor. I dont think Germany, France, Greece, Czech and Poland would want a war with Russia. This could lead to a split in NATO.

Nope. Its not going to happen. A world war three is just too lethal for anyone to contemplate.
But don’t wish for war man. Its not a game. And I don’t want to die. Humans love violence but…restrain yourself. Rethink your cravings.

Putin is currently holding a joint press conference with Hollande (French president) about sharing military information on ISIS airstrikes in Syria.
