No, this is not up for debate. It is fact and was proven in a U.N. Security Council meeting. Only Russian propaganda would say it's still debatable.
You're just believing the U.N.'s propaganda :lol: ;) , it makes no sense to just shoot down a Jet of a 'friendly' nation just for skimping the lines. Shooting down that plane was an act of war, nothing more nothing less. The Turks were in the wrong and if i remember they acknowledged this later on.

The gas attacks were proven, even by your precious U.N., done by rebels/extremist. A nice example of the UN and the western media spewing out that the Assad regime was responsible for it a minute after the attacks happened :| #propaganda#AssadEvil . The major population is Sunni, but who wants a 2nd Saud Arabia? You're saying a religious government under sharia sunni law is best for the country? As that would be the most 'democratic' thing? Ridicilous i say, even Israel stated that they 'rather have the devil they know then the demons that will come next'. Some countries are better of with the leaders they have, just look at what has happened to Libya after Ghadaffi was lynched. The happy new age bleeding heart society we have in the west isn't suit for everybody. Or at least, so we see in all these countries after the Arab Spring..ughe..ughe..better called it an Arab Winter, because that's what this 'bringing democracy' has really brought. All this 'free people' stuff has turned those lands into anarchist fireplaces where if you aren't of the same religion you can get your head chopped off...or worse.

Because you're assuming that a U.N. report is always the truth and saying everything countering a U.N.'s findings is propaganda :roll:

So... the coup failed?

Too bad, Erdogan is:
- whimsical, just look at who he is attacking for what, you don't want something like that as the head of your state
- a fanatic
- old fashioned in all the wrong way
- highly undemocratic, and all for the wrong reasons (pride mostly)
- probably supports other fanatics (hearsay)

... isn't that reason enough, for murica to save the world and such... go visit him and ... umm.... negotiate?!


[edit]:
That one looks kinda orchestrated, for giving him reason to ...restructure... the military in his liking, and fortify his position of power.
...damn, where is murican that one time when you really need them?!?

What we're seeing here is the result of official Russian propaganda on a Russian player of Salem. Unfortunately he doesn't read or watch news from outside his country and is ignorant of the facts of his country's foreign policy. As you may all know of me I'm always one of the first to criticize my own country's foreign policy and disagree with some of what even Obama has done, so I can tell any Russians watching that they should do the same. Question the source, get multiple sources, and then learn more. Your country is lying to you.

The UN report is based on the research of many countries, including neutral countries. The Turks gave multiple warnings to Russia to not use their airspace. The U.N. are not "Western Countries", they are the world. Shooting down that plane was an act of sovereignty. I disagree with the Turks buying oil from ISIS and possibly secretly selling them weapons. The Turks were not in the wrong in shooting down that jet and they never acknowledged anything of the sort later on. That is a lie. Ваша страна лежит на вас . Your country is lying to you.

This is absolutely false and a lie. The Assad regime's chemical warfare brigade was proven to have done this and the government admitted to it being a "rogue" commander when they agreed to their chemical weapons being seized and destroyed. The U.N. report found considerable evidence that Syrian Army command had full knowledge of the attacks and possibly ordered the attacks.

Putin is lying to you. Ваша страна лежит на вас . Your country is lying to you.

A moderate sunni government with secular leanings such as Jordan, Tunisia or Morocco would be ideal for the Aleppo sunni state. It's possible, but only if ISIS, the Nusra Front and Assad are gone.

As for western propaganda, what most Russians don't understand is that there really is not that much of it and since there are so many news sources from various countries in the West it is easy to spot the mildly opinionated outlets such as FOX News or MSNBC. All you have to do is compare them to other news outlets from around the west or news in different countries in Europe. Western propaganda is a myth and you sound silly spouting that term as if you are in the Cold War still.

Where we in the West have hundreds of news outlets and a wide variety of sources, Russia has limited options. Western news outlets aren't always correct or unbiased but they generally are as free of bias as any other source of information on the planet and that's why they succeed. They succeed because they are CLOSER TO THE TRUTH THAN ANY OTHERS.

Russia and China have limited news outlets with nationalist tendencies and state controls over them all. Putin is directing your news outlets. Search for other outlets. Compare your countries newspapers and TV to other countries like I do. I know you may be limited by language but look for other sources. Ваша страна лежит на вас . Your country is lying to you.

Claeyt, I know you enjoy thinking you are smart, but even my subpar russian is enough to tell you that this phrase means "your country lies on you" as in "lies on the bed" ;)

While russian / chinese news sources are likely to be less credible, I think that EU / US news about those countries are also gonna be biased in some way since they are perceived as unpredictable and hence as a threat.

Even if it wasn't orchestrated, it still gives him a good opportunity to do just that. Nothing good gonna come of it.

They're saying the coup has failed. Or at least in Istanbul...curious to see what will happen next and of course very excited to hear the background story.

Also Claeyt i am not russian or an affiliate in any way of that country. It must be surprising to hear someone from the West saying the Western Propaganda machine is real. Believing that it isnt...well that makes you the perfect citizen :D Your government will be proud of your opinions and quoting Helmut Kohl wont give your arguments any extra weight. I'd love to get in on you repeating the same thing over and over again and thinking this will make your argument stronger then it was. Silly.
Again i dont read or hear much from Russian television because i cant understand the language :P It's my own country and the EU with the way they are acting now is making me doubt the 'news' more and more every day. In that sense you are right. I'm from the Netherlands and my country is lying to me.

They say the coup failed and the first thing my gov, the german gov and obama say is 'we support Erdogan because he's democraticly elected'... :?
If you're fwiends with us (the west) you're either a good person or a freedom fighter, if you're not fwiends with us you're a dictator or a terrorist.
It's like that and will always be like that.

Oh well..

Better luck next time Turkish Military...or it was all a big set-up called 'How I got another 15 years of power' written and directed by 'Erdogan & Co'.
