Daily Mail: Putin takes his revenge: Russia unleashes heavy bombardment on region held by Turkmen rebels who chanted ‘Allahu Akbar’ over the dead body of pilot shot down by Turkish F-16

* Russia has retaliated against rebel forces who 'shot and killed' one of the pilots of the jet downed by Turkey
* One of the two pilots of Russian jet downed by Turkey rescued in 12-hour operation and taken to Russian base
* Pilot, identified as Cpt Konstantin Murahtin, and fallen co-pilot, Lt. Col. Oleg Peshkov to be given state honours
* Audio recording of warnings sent out by Turkey on open channels and confirmed by U.S. military released
* Putin called the incident a 'stab in the back by accomplices of terrorists' and accused Turkey of supporting ISIS
* NATO chief called for 'diplomacy and de-escalation' after emergency meeting of member nations on Tuesday

Russian forces launched at least a dozen airstrikes against insurgent-held areas near the Turkey-Syria border where the Sukhoi SU-24 fighter jet was shot down by the Turkish army yesterday.

Heavy bombardment hit areas controlled by Turkmen rebels, the group claiming to have shot and killed one of the pilots of the Russian jet as he parachuted out of the flaming wreckage, and attempted to kill his co-pilot.

The rebel group released a video showing them cheering and chanting 'Allahu Akbar' as they discovered the body of Lieutenant Colonel Oleg Peshkov, who will now receive Russia's highest state honour posthumously.

Not "wanting" war while committing war like actions is a slippery slope.

the National piece,

Watching these people, especially Stein from the Munk Institute of Covering for Imperialism, who are in the business of maintaining the narrative and running cover for those who control Canada, makes me realize why, after watching Canadian media, I always need a Gravol.

To sit there and talk for more than ten minutes and not mention Turkish/Saudi/U.S. support for the Islamofascists is simply shameful (and shameless!!!). All the while beating the big bad Russia/ Putin drum.

Erdogan and Putin have "bad tempers". Really?! Did you learn how to discern the temperment of national leaders in you ninth or tenth year of university?

"Oh what deep, thoughtful, informed and enlightened analysis you have CBC."

"All the better to fool you with little working Canadian."
