Russia discussed declaring war on Turkey after jet was shot down!
MOSCOW, Russia (PNN) - December 9, 2015 - The Su-24 shot down last month gave grounds for war, Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev has stated.
"That was a direct assault on a foreign state. In the present situation a war is the worst what could happen. That’s why a decision was taken not to give a symmetrical answer to what the Turks had done,” said Medvedev.
"Yet we had to make them understand they’re going to be held responsible for their actions. Exactly for that reason and for the safety of our citizens the relevant decisions were taken," he added.
Russia has been flying bombing missions against Syrian rebels and ISIS.
However, Turkey claimed the jet had violated its air space.
The wreckage landed in Syria, with one pilot, named as Lieutenant Colonel Oleg Peshov, killed by Syrian rebels while his colleague, Captain Konstantin Murakhtin, was saved in an overnight operation by Russian Special Forces.
It has been confirmed that Fascist United Kingdom Prime Minister David Cameron discussed the incident with Russian President Vladimir Putin over the phone.
A Kremlin statement read, "The two leaders exchanged views on current matters concerning security in the Middle East, particularly with regard to efforts to reach a settlement in Syria. Mr. Putin and Mr. Cameron noted that their two countries share similar views regarding the threat posed by ISIS and other terrorist groups active in the region. In this context, they discussed ways to organize bilateral cooperation through various state agencies. Mr. Cameron expressed his condolences over the destruction of Russia’s fighter plane in Syria. Mr. Putin invited British specialists to take part in decoding the data from the downed Su-24 plane’s flight recorders."
