By ‘Covering’ Turkey Politically, NATO Took Responsibility for Downing of Russian Su-24 – Envoy

• Of course, Turkey would have cleared the action with US+NATO before shooting down the Russian SU-24. The idea that NATO command would allow any of its members to do such a thing (without NATO permission) and risk nuclear war with Russia is nonsense. The western Illuminati is desperate to start their Satanic WW3.

• By ‘Covering’ Turkey Politically, NATO Took Responsibility for Downing of Russian Su-24 – Envoy
  by https://www.rt.com/news/
  By refusing to render an opinion on Turkey’s “intentional” downing of Russia’s bomber over Syria, and instead providing Ankara with political backing, NATO’s leadership has taken responsibility for the incident, Russia’s NATO envoy, Aleksandr Grushko, said.
  –
  Grushko gave his comments to reporters on Monday after it emerged that he had met with NATO’s Deputy Secretary-General Alexander Vershbow to discuss the November 24 incident when a Russian Su-24 bomber was shot down by a Turkish F-16 while striking terrorist positions in Syria.
  –
  “Yes, indeed I had talks with Deputy Secretary-General A. Vershbow over the Su-24 incident…. I laid out the Russian assessment of the incident and cited a series of military and political factors which indicate of the intentional nature of the attack on the Russian plane in the Syrian airspace,” Grushko, Russia’s Permanent Representative at NATO, said.
  –
  However, Vershbow would not give any assessment of Turkey’s aggressive action, according to the Russian diplomat, and only called for restraint and direct contact between Moscow and Ankara concerning the issue.
  –
  “NATO prefers not to go into detail on what the reason was for Turkey’s decision to launch a missile to down a plane which was flying in Syrian airspace and which posed no threat to Turkey,”Grushko pointed out.
  –
  The Russian envoy to NATO stressed that Turkey’s decision to down a non-hostile plane in the border region goes against the alliance’s rules of engagement.
  –
  “In the case of the November 24 incident, even if we take for granted the absolutely ungrounded version of violation of Turkey’s airspace, these NATO’s practices were not observed, since, according to Ankara, the pilots did not even know the identity of the violator plane,” he stressed.

• Quote 2:20 onwards. Emphasis mine:
  FoxNews host:
  “What about any kind of intentional provocation by the Russians to try and escalate something here?”
  Gen. Tom McInerney:
  “I think the intentional provocation may have been by Turkey’s President Erdogan. Turkey has been a very secular nation, but he has driven it towards an Islamic society with Sharia law, et cetera. And so I think he may have a hidden agenda. He probably would not mind seeing Russia and NATO get into another conflict like we had in the Ukraine, which we do not need. … Most of Turkey’s attacks have been against the Kurds so I don’t really trust president Erdogan and what he is doing. I think we have to be very very cautious on this and .. it was an overly aggressive manoeuver and as a NORAD mission commander we would not use these kind of  rules of engagement. That had to be pre-planned. That airplane wasn’t over Turkish territory long enough.”
