The two independent specialists from Britain and China in on it too?
Did you read my post? They will give a technical explanation saying that it is impossible to say with certainty, but the Russians will downplay that in favor of emphasizing that the plane was no threat to Turkey.
And if it turns out to be conclusive what will you say then?

I will say I was wrong. I am occaisionally wrong. In this case I'm pretty confident it will sort out as I have said.

Germany doesn't have much to say about the US killing innocents in air strikes. it seems no one does. that is also what gets ignored in this propaganda war isnt it? fact of the matter is civilian casualties are inevitable. every war ever has had civilian casualties and they usually outweigh militant casualties. is your suggestion that everyone stop fighting isis in fear of civilian suffering?
My goal in this arguement is that you understand this is not a good guy and bad guy thing. This is like two drug lords that kill each other. Erdogan and Putin are very similar.

It is my suggestion that the parties who are in Syria are not there predominantly to fight Daesh but a secure their interest in the up an coming unravelling of Syria and Iraq .
Besides here is a picture of area the jet was shot down , faaaar away from DAESH controlled areas .
The only reason Turkmen got bombed is because Asad wanted it . It had nothing to with DAESH whatsoever .
That is exactly what I have been saying all along. It is the Putinistas who think that Putin is engaged in some holy crusade against the infidels.
hey remember the Baghdad bombings? looks quite similar. this is what war is. you cant just condemn one side because you have a bias.

Um so under your reasoning,I am to take it that if Mexico shoots down an American plane,then its okay for the US to shoot down a Canadian one? wth kind of reasoning is that? Just because someone is your ally,does not make you responsible for their actions. Unless you assured other partners of controlling them. WHICH THE US DID IN SYRIA. We were supposed to be letting all our ' allies' know who was flying where and at what time. Mistakes can be made,but guess what you do when one is made? You call up that countries leader and say "Oh my gosh! We accidentally shot your plane down.So so sorry about that" You don't go call NATO and lay out plans with them for 8 hours. Get real.
Turkey is and HAS been a huge violator of boundaries of its neighbors. Whine all you want about it,but Turkey has no complaints when it comes to others in its airspace. Make up my mind on this one,Turkey either has
1. Crappy GPS
2.Crappy pilots
or
3. a Crappy president
So which is it?
Yeah yeah we get it with you. Your all rah rah sis boom bah over Turkey.Great. No place like home,okay. But I am not going to believe my country's nonsense. So I sure am NOT going to believe your country's nonsense either..
Show sad pictures all you want,this is about the black box from the plane and what may be in it. Putin has not 'appointed' himself anything at all.He has done EXACTLY what any president worth his weight would have done for his country over this. All this stuff about Russia's economy? Pics or it didn't happen pal.
1721 - 1826 A lodge whose name is lost, operated in Istanbul, somewhere near the Galata tower, during the reign of Osman III (1703 – 1730). The lodge was founded probably c. 1721 by Levantines (mainly) Genoese living in quarters near the tower.
ive never seen you condemn anyone but russia and assad. but i digress.
