Turks vs. Russians - what is going on?!?

[peacetraveler22]

Damn, what wildness in the world now! I awoke to news of the military incident with the Russian jet. Now, a news flash on RT that the pilots were shot dead in the air while trying to parachute. Who should we believe? Russia's version of the incident varies wildly from that of the Turks and the U.S., who claim 10 warnings were given before the jet was taken down. Now, there will undoubtedly be bans on yet another prime tourist destination for Russians. It is reported that there are already demands to evacuate tourists from Turkey and cancel the visa-free regime until Turkish officials issue an apology. Who and what should we believe? What is going on?? Nothing is clear, just like this blurry photo, where I photobombed a shot with a random Russian man in some remote town last winter. I don't even remember the name of the city, but when I look at this photo, I always smile. And we can all use some laughter and a brief moment of humor on this day.

I don't even know what to say, or how to analyze this situation, because I'm no expert in foreign or military affairs. How will Putin and NATO react? Who do you believe? Today the French flags are hanging in Washington, DC because Francois Hollande is visiting Obama. Now is a rare chance for you to express your opinions about the political and military situation in this blog. I know you are all experts! :) I will read all your comments, but don't have time to answer everyone...

Это слишком резкий шаг со стороны Турции. На них ведь не нападали. Тут в любом случае, нарушал пилот или не нарушал, он уже погиб, и это из-за Турции.

Of course, it's an unflattering photo but funny. :) How can you be confused?

I know the cartoon, but when you're a blogger it's impossible to remain anonymous. And I publish my photos frequently in this blog, so this is nothing new. If someone wants to find your identity, there are dozens of different ways to do it, as much as you try to protect your privacy. There is always some footprint in the virtual world.
