    Heard the Turks shot the two Rooskie pilots that bailed out of the plane the Turks shot down. Now US proxies are directly mixing it up with the Rooskies.

    The neocons and the New World Odor must be dancing in the streets as they want to sow chaos in that part of the world.

    But the old Chinese saying be careful what you wish is going to come back to bite them in the ass and of course it will be the little people who pay.

      Well, nuclear makes big people to pay as well.

        Nov 24, 2015 24:50 AM

        I think that is true and that is why MAD worked all those decades but have you heard about the underground facilities some New World Odor bigwigs are building that hundreds of people could live in?

          I think there are underground cities in a lot of places around the world. they were built centuries ago if not thousands of years ago.
          There are also remnants of cities just off coastlines around the world.
          These historical sites and underground cities are generally not talked about as they don’t fit the dominant religious stories, in any case, the “elite” know about them and could put them to use if they wanted to.

      Somewhat conflicting statements on the fate of both the Russian pilots.

      Interesting that Obama sided with the Turks.

        That is so not funny, but how can it be more obvious that Turkey and the U.S. support isis?
        I think Canada should withdraw from nato.

        If they could without being invaded of course.

          Oh Al, you remember my comment about trusting the Americans a few days ago?
          How many counties trust them now you think?

            countrys not counties

            Nov 24, 2015 24:19 PM

            spot on

        Nov 24, 2015 24:13 AM

        The latest I heard is that a Syrian Turkmen brigade killed the Russian pilots, not the Turkish army. What ties this brigade has to the Turkish government I do not know. In any case this is a dangerous situation.

        Muslim birds of a feather flock together.

      They also blew up a Rooskie choppa with a US missile. Colonel Pooty Poot ain’t happy about it!

    War helping the economy? That’s the broken window fallacy writ large.

    Chris is a real quality quest. I love to hear he point of view.

    Hard to see the states actually fighting isis.

    You must have ment Russia?

    Nov 24, 2015 24:12 AM

    **** TRUST ME RUSSIA IS GOING TO COME UP WITH SOMETHING TO PUT THE HURT ON TURKEY AND THE WEST ****
    These idiots are playing with a great fire!

      Nov 24, 2015 24:18 AM

      I hope not. I don’t want to see Russian Tanks run over my city coming down from Bering strait. It will be TERRIBLE. I know how Russians fight.

    Nov 24, 2015 24:19 AM

    I spent 6 years in the military under Army Intelligence (35F) in Iraq, as well as taking a bullet for this country and I can tell you now that the Russians are hard ballers! Already they are making new air support adjustments over Syria!

    Nov 24, 2015 24:26 AM

    It is unbelievable that today’s big even cannot move gold. It is unreal. If anything can lift gold, a direct conflict between NATO and Russia will. It could come down when tension eases but the spike should happen, at least.

      Nov 24, 2015 24:28 AM

      COME ON !!!!!!!!!!!! IT’S RIGGED !!!!!!!!!!!!!

        Nov 24, 2015 24:21 PM

        I just want to people think twice why gold is so muted.

    Nov 24, 2015 24:27 AM

    I had to get off of this great site because I got flooded with calls this morning from friends of mine who I served with in Intel calling and briefing me on the situation!
    One main question that will be is…………………….WHO GAVE THE SHOOT DOWN ORDER, which is now circulating in the INTEL COMMUNITY!

    Nov 24, 2015 24:32 AM

    ******* BREAKING: SOMETHING NOW BREAKING OUT IN FRANCE, HOSTAGES TAKEN IN ROBIAX ********
    Now what………………..?

    Nov 24, 2015 24:43 AM

    People, no matter what…………..this was a very stupid move on the part of Turkey!

    Nov 24, 2015 24:44 AM

    Al—-can you understand we support isis…and theres patriotism in telling the truth about 9/11….NOT the official story..???? telling the truth man…..

    Nov 24, 2015 24:50 AM

    SEE, a lot of you have been safe here in America, watching TV, drinking beer and eating great food………but it is not like that for some Nations around the world, people are mad and they don’t like our American policy towards the rest of the world! I know because I was there!

    Nov 24, 2015 24:56 AM

    ******* RUSSIA WILL NOW GIVE MAJOR AIR SUPPORT BY GROUND AND AIR TO ALL RUSSIAN FIGHTER JETS OVER SYRIA *******
    Black swans everywhere……………thing are moving fast!

    Nov 24, 2015 24:15 PM

    COME ON………you old timers out there know that there is absolutely no reason for this market to be up right now! The whole game is rigged!!!!!! HEY, THE MARKETS ARE GONE!!!!!!!!

    Nov 24, 2015 24:52 PM

    Question, if Russians want to violate turkey air space, why do they use a bomber su-24 instead of fighter jet su-35? Do they want to bomb turkey? I don’t buy turkey’s argument. SU-24 does not have a lot of defence again fighter jet attack.

      Nov 24, 2015 24:07 PM

      IT’S CLEAR………TURKEY IS FULL OF IT………THIS WAS DONE ON WESTERN ENCOURAGEMENT!
      I mean that this is the year 2015 people , and we know what is going on!

      Did they violate Turkish airspace? I was under the impression it happened over northern Syria…

        Nov 24, 2015 24:17 PM

        Turkey said the plane was inside turkey when it was shot down

        Nov 25, 2015 25:31 AM

        There was an interesting map on the BBC where there is a tiny bit of Turkey that juts out for a couple of miles into Syria. Not that I give credence to the BBC but it is an interesting map. They did show both Turkish and Russian versions in the interests of ‘balance’!

    Nov 24, 2015 24:53 PM

    I think the BDI has bottomed. Finally..

      Nov 24, 2015 24:58 PM

      Sorry, but the way things are going now………….I don’t think so!

      Nov 24, 2015 24:23 PM

      but how long does a bottom take… interesting observation…

    Nov 24, 2015 24:07 PM

    The 50 will cross under the 200 shortly… It looks like the beginning of a global recovery to me…

      Nov 24, 2015 24:03 PM

      Better buy into some copper, iron, coal miners then.

        Nov 24, 2015 24:35 PM

        Bob,
        Got copper today. It’s going to be interesting tomorrow. I’m really hoping for a nice bump on gold, before it gets hammered again.

          Nov 24, 2015 24:48 PM

          I posted some copper & commodity stock updates on the article post from the “Cory’s Insights” that had an article on the state of the copper market. If you have any stocks to add to the list at the bottom or any recommendations out of that list that you are personally following, then it would be great to get your input Chartster.

            Nov 24, 2015 24:58 PM

            I also just posted a few good copper articles at the bottom of Cory’s Insights from today for anyone following Dr Copper.

    Longest range NATO air-to-air missile in the region is the AMRAAM with 40 mile range. Longest range Russian air-to-air in the region is the Adder with an 80 mile range with tech performance on par with the AMRAAM. Gonna be like taking a .45 to a 300 yard rifle match with the opposing team using .308 rifles using YOU as the target!

    Nov 24, 2015 24:05 PM

    I don’t read RT much, but this article is disconcerting. When versions of a military events differ this much, I get really worried …

    Russian version, of the event, from the article:

    Rudskoy said the Russian warplane did not violate Turkish airspace. Additionally, according to the Hmeymim airfield radar, it was the Turkish fighter jet that actually entered Syrian airspace as it attacked the Russian bomber.

    The Turkish fighter jet made no attempts to contact Russian pilots before attacking the bomber, Rudskoy added.
