Turkish embassy in Moscow pelted

The Turkish embassy in Moscow was pelted with various objects on Wednesday in a furious protest over the downing of the Russian bomber over Syria. Numerous images and videos on social media show broken glass and stained walls







And they burned the Turkish flag, seems the Russian youngsters are eager to war with Turkey, what do you guys think?

Those are your typical reactions one would expect from a group of patriotic citizens of a country such as Russia. One should not expect any different from other countries patriotic citizens, if were in a similar context.

Those few patriots, numbering around 900, however do not represent the views of the general Russian populace regarding Turkey in any way shape or form.

Peace

I disagree. If only because you do not know that.

Just like every single thing that is spouted about groups of people vocal enough to voice their concern - they do not represent blah blah.

you cannot state categorically this.

You, at best, hope it is the case...

I saw this on BBC news earlier. I've not heard of any arrests for this vandalism so I agree. I think the concensus is that the Russian people are pretty pissed right now.

Eta: Including the police force ; )

Maybe hope at best, but historically it's still accurate. Whether it's the party outside the Whitehouse after the Bin Laden news broke or a protest at an embassy, the large portion of those populations are going on about their lives (for better or worse I may add, its more of a "not my problem, doesn't put bread on my table" thing)

Imagine if the roles were reversed...I doubt the Turks stop with eggs.

We are not seeing history. We are making history.

This world is not as it was, the people not as they were. this is a new entire thing.

global. not small minded ethnicity, unless it is forced, and then you see extremism.

I can imagine Russia absolutely pissed at Turkey. Hell I am pissed, and Im in Australia.

but then I also know this is all a game. this is nothing more than act-react and let the dumb populace call the next move - fed by hysterics and media propaganda.

I know this. It is obvious as hell..

Still, do not underestimate the ire of a country. You may see a few, but there are many more who support it.

goes both ways too I might add.

I feel you are quite right.

Well, Turkey are essentially responsible for the murder of two Russian soldiers and the destruction of two Russian military aircraft, when Russia are trying to help protect the world from terrorism.......I would be pretty annoyed too.

a reply to: woogleuk

Russia have no interest whatsoever of protecting the world from terrorism. Not even close.

As a previous poster noted
" They'l be angry for a year, but by the time the holidays arrive they just go back to Turkey"

Seems spot on if you ask me. Unless something really messed up happens in the next week I think this will remain an isolated event.

a reply to: rajas

Not surprising given the russian propaganda.

How when the plane violated turkish airspace?

Obviously the governments encouraging this in the back ground.

a little wink to Turkey letting them know how easily they could be made to look weak!

a reply to: Xcathdra

phuck Turkey!!! they back and supply ISIS (its like you completely ignore this fact).

Everyone should be cheering Russia for having the balls to bomb ALL SYRIA REBELS into the dirt. Its like no one remembers the fairty tale 9/11, Iraqi Insurgency, Paris, Madrid or London - the people Russia are bombing want to cut your head off and put it on youtube!...

I hope the Russians fly over every day at dawn and at dusk now the S400's are in place.

Turkey would never dare put a plane in the air.

If you don't get behind Russia's efforts to wipe out ISIS and its sister groups at all costs (up to and including giving Turkey the big finger) then you obviously are ignoring the obvious facts.

a reply to: Xcathdra

You don't class unarmed person(s) being shot to death whilst parachuting to the ground as murder?

And it is yet to be established as fact that they violated Turkish airspace, one word against another.

a reply to: woogleuk

I dont and neither does international law. Even more so when you are bombing the very group in question. What you expected them to be met with open arms and tea?

a reply to: Agit8dChop

Yet they shot down a russian jet in their airspace. Seems Turkey will stand up to russian aggression after all.

a reply to: Xcathdra

We only have Turkeys word (evidence can be manufactured) that Russia did violate their airspace.

Regardless, Turkeys actions undermine efforts to take out terrorists.....wrong reaction, that no matter what, legal or not, a few second incursion doesn't morally justify.
