European markets are down almost 2%. Gold and oil and firming and U.S. futures are plunging lower, after a Russian warplane was shot down near the Turkish-Syrian border, by the retarded Turks.
Putin responded, saying “We understand that everyone has their own interests but we won’t allow such crimes to take place,” Putin said at talks with Jordanian King Abdullah in Sochi. “We received a stab in the back from accomplices of terrorism.”
The Kurds have been complaining about our “allies”, the Turks, for quite sometime, who, seemingly support and fund the psychotics in ISIS. It appears Putin is calling a spade a spade and upping the ante on the rhetoric.
NATO will be convening today, in an emergency meeting, over this fuckery.
It’s turkey for Thanksgiving, always has been.

Somebody got some splainin’ to do …..
No worries, Kohl’s has extended Cyber Monday to a full week, starting on Saturday. All is well!
Turkey is a turkey .. morons, and the US ain’t far behind in all this fuckery shenanigannery
“The Turks …are jerks” (said in my Dice Clay voice)
Commodore – I’ll be stocking up on one of my favorite pipe tobaccos, Izmir Turkish, in case of an upcoming disruption. You might consider stashing a couple pounds as well…
It would appear that the Russian BEAR has eaten your national day of gluttony
That’s an incredibly conciliatory statement from Putin: “We understand that everyone has their own interests…”
Putin’s response likely will be calibrated. 80% this will all blow over in a few days. 19% it lasts more than a week. 1% real fuckery happens.
I’ll be watching $XIV for an entry point.
All these candidates must be jumping for joy, as they got what they wished – downing a Russian jet
Hillary Clinton:
“I personally would be advocating now for a no-fly zone and humanitarian corridors to try to stop the carnage on the ground and from the air.”
Carly Fiorina:
“This is a tricky maneuver, it’s a dangerous maneuver, but it’s a maneuver that we must undertake. The Russians do not get to move into the Middle East and become the dominant outside power.”
Jeb Bush:
“We need to have no fly zones. The argument is, well we’ll get into the conflict with Russia, maybe Russia shouldn’t want to be in conflict with us. I mean, this is a place where American leadership is desperately needed.”
John Kasich:
“You enter that no-fly zone, you enter at your own peril. No more red lines, no more looking the other way. If any hostile aircraft should enter that, there will be a great consequence to them.”
Ben Carson:
“We need to stand our ground with the airspace. I would establish a no-fly zone along the border with Turkey. In no way would I back off.”
Chris Christie:
“My first phone call would be to Vladimir, and I’d say to him, listen, we’re enforcing this no-fly zone,” adding that he would shoot down Russian warplanes that violate the no-fly zone.
Lindsey Graham:
“I don’t know if there’s anybody left to train, but a no-fly zone would be a great relief to the Syrian people.”
Marco Rubio:
“The United States should work with our allies, both Arab and European, to impose a no-fly zone over parts of Syria.”
and on the other side:
Ted Cruz:
“Look, we have no business sticking our nose in that civil war”
Rand Paul:
“Setting up a no-fly zone is a recipe for disaster. It’s a recipe for confrontation.”
Donald Trump:
“I Support Russia Bombing ‘The Hell Out Of ISIS’ In Syria.”
Bernie Sanders:
“I oppose, at this point, a unilateral American no-fly zone in Syria which could get us more deeply involved in that horrible civil war and lead to a never-ending U.S. entanglement in that region.”
Martin O’Malley:
“This could lead to an escalation of Cold War proportions (!) because of an accident, and I don’t think that’s in the best interest of the United States.”
Great list of quotes. I’m in the 2nd camp..
This is crazy talk.
I mean the first set of quotes.
But since it’s coming from politicians, it might as well be coming from George Costanza on opposite day.
Best course of action:
Negotiate with Putin, divvy up the world. Nuke Turkey and Syria. Threaten China and explain they will continue to manufacture things for cheap or else. Sit back and enjoy the holidays.
Worst course of action:
Pay $15 million to the “Clock Kid” Muhamet and continue to fund/support ISIS.
No, you got Ben Carson all wrong. He couldn’t find turkey on a map. He’s probably going over in his head how a bird could fire a rocket. Maybe the bird has magical Jesus powers? I guess we will never really know.
Gosh, and here I thought that the Russians were invincible, in the manly sense. Maybe they need to go back to kicking sand in Ukraine’s face.
Anyone with real sense would call for an international Rocky push up contest.
Tiebreaker: Russian roulette. Winner gets crepes and to call the shots for the whole world.
My money is on Justin “Kid Mangler” Trudeau.
