The navigator managed to hide, was found by SF of the Syrian Army, returned to the base (in Latakia, I presume) at 0340 hours of today, Moscow time (it would be 0240 of local time, I now checked). He's safe and sound. He's name is Konstantin Murakchtin (I don't know his Rank).

Thank god he's alive and back at base! Good thing the Syrian Army SF got there and rescued him before he's killed by those terrorists/''moderate rebels''.

Elections have consequences, just look at our own little mess?

As someone has said and many retired military men agree we have a ready and willing ground force available and it should be time we start treating them as such and that is the Kurds can someone please tell me why this hasn't been done

Perhaps them and Putin will get together because I just don't see this administration doing enough too me I know they want their own homeland maybe they should have one if an agreement could be worked out with Assad and the Kurds they just might be the only viable solution to Isis agreeable by Russia and the west

I think Turkey has lost a lot of opportunity here some are even calling for them to be kicked out of NATO
Certainly they have little to no chance of joining the EU at this point

By EU law they never had chance and they can't be kicked out of NATO, NATO is USA only club and they need turkey as a tactical nukes depot against russia. They had deployed nukes there in early 70's that we know today as the propaganda of Cuba crisis because the soviets wanted to deploy nukes to cuba because US already deployed Jupiter nukes to turkey while the media was portraying Soviets as the bad guys for trying to use Cuba as nuke base.

I know that but events and situations have changed dramatically since then and I agree that Turkey is in a vitally important strategic region just seems as though they are not much of friend to us right now there is only one country where Isis imports and exports goods from and I'll leave to you to answer that question
