You are defending a coalition that over the last decade of so has systemically toppled several middle eastern leader. Has illegally occupied middle eastern countries in direct violation of international law and killed over a million civilians in the Iraq war (the lancet report)
Are we going to compare west vs russia in atrocities ? If yes , Russians are killers in their own right . They will decimate smaller nations without hesitation.
I might not always agree with Nato but I am aware that it provides the security blanket under which I sleep . I have already lost one homeland ( Caucasia ) to Slavs ; trust me I know what Russians can do .
If your point is that the West is worse then Russia anyday ; I would respectfully recommend that you research a bit more .
You have been lied to about Syria. Just as you where lied to about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and Bin Laden in Afghanistan.
380.000 Syrians have been killed under Asad and Ba'ath party regime . Before the civil war Syria was a hell hole for anyone who didn't toe the line .
Asad and his father are not supported by majority Syrians and that's the truth , really .
I see you've claimed that Turks work with ISIS ; that claim shows who has really swallowed propaganda . Turkey is a Nato country with Roman Law Jurisdiction . If there ever was any type of government support for ISIS , that government would be voted out of office by the electorate .
Despite what you believe about the Turks ; there is no support for ISIS in Turkey . A quick trip out to Istanbul would tell you the same thing .
istanbul parties on 24/7 and ISIS is a declared enemy of Turkish government .
Russia has been invited into Syria we have not. They did more damage to ISIS in a few days than the US done in two years. That really speaks volumes.
Invite of a dictator who had inhereted his presidency from his father . His father had basically has been killing opposition in Syria for all his life .
Russia is not fighting ISIS ; it's busy pounding Asad's other enemies .
We have no business, training and funding terrorism abroad. If it was not for these actions we would not be seeing floods of refuges crossing borders.

Dropping bombs on kids & women is more barbaric act then shooting the parachuting pilot who freshly murdered innocent kids & women

The Lancet report was DEBUNKED because of the way it was done.

Hi there i dont think it has been debunked it plays within interests of certain nations to play down the civilian causulities of wars
Understand that is was the only peer reviewed scientific study done on the occupation. Yes other reports where done all with vested interests.
No it has not been scientifically debunked. The lancet is a prestigious scientific journal and has been around a long time.

Appears you have little understanding of what actually happened!
That "moron's" crime was the violation of Turkish airspace for less than 11 seconds...that should NOT have cost him his life. The manner in which the Turkish pilot shot him down was equally as wrong; with all the desperation, the lies, and over-reaction, the Turks have made a serious mess of this.

11 seconds didn't cost his life ; it was the innocent kids he was killing that ended up costing his life.
I can prove the 11 seconds, you can not prove the loss of a single life due to that mission! So...your statement is kind of empty! Plus, even IF there was the loss of life due to that mission; not a single one would have been in Turkey.
Syrian Turkmen group says Russian strikes kill over 40 civilians
Areas where ethnic Turkmens live in Homs and Hama came under attack on Wednesday, the Turkey-based Syrian Turkmen Assembly said in a statement. In the village of Telbiseh near Homs alone, 40 civilians, including Turkmens, were killed, it said.
Perhaps yall should actually think this through! Do we want to allow something like Turkey to plunge us into world war 3? Or do we want to be a little bit more moderate and avoid the bombs...
Here's a prediction; "Turkey will escalate the tensions between them and Russia. A war will start. Turkey will be thrown to the Wolves."

And they have spent more than one mission bombing the Turkmen areas...Wasn't Russia warned about violating Turkish airspace earlier in October when they escorted a Russian military jet that crossed into Turkey and locked on to their F-16's...why would they even think about doing it again, even for less than 20 seconds.
Seems this could have all been avoided had Russia just not crossed the border.
Better prediction...It won't happen.

the russians were forewarned a few times before this shoot down.
maybe they will think this time and be more careful.
