The ones they are trying to bomb? Pilots being shot down in a warzone is pretty much the norm. The difference this time is they have such aireal superiority that they dont get casaulties usually and just bomb away anywhere they want.

Technically it is a war crime: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attacks_on_parachutists

I'm not disputing that nor am I suprised. But he sounded suprised aircrafts who are there to bomb and kill get taken out themselves.


And good luck trying to make groups you have complete firepower superiority to, to adhere to your specific standards of when to kill or not to kill. Especially since this isnt military vs military warfare. Just an ever changing scene of proxy wars.

Well, I've never thought a legal framework for war was truly realistic.

In WW2 shooting parachutists was a no-go. Pretty ironic in the light of WW2 war crimes, mass murderings and whatnot

 

[Osman]

False sense of honour and chivalry has allways been amusing to see in wars. Kinda like how the Japanese in WW2 took great pride in being hospitable to enemy officers or what not, only to quickly mass murder and rape anything in sight in insane scale.

 

[Toro_Merda]

Maybe it has to do with the possibility of exchanging POW's

Smells like WW3

Who doesn't make you sick in this conflict? There is no one to like except the refugees who are demonised by the 'scared' media.

What did he said? Besides that he considers it a stab in the back...

Yep, Turkey benefits a lot from ISIS. Cheap oil, Kurds are being killed, after few years new territories could be annexed to ''protect'' them and did I say that Kurds are being killed by ISIS. Best scenario for them is this to keep up for at least 5 years or so.

Russia also has its interests there too. Very annoying situation. It's so sad for the poor people who are living there and want nothing but peace

 

[Azzurri7]

I didn't read his whole statement but he did mention whoever did this will pay for it.

Of course Russia (Putin's statement) was expected and predictable but my problem is with the people having actual hope that Putin would put an end to terrorists when Russia has always been fueling terrorists and dictators in the region just like States but obviously with different agenda and targets.

Were they? I'm pretty sure the Japanese were relentlessly cruel to all their prisoners of war. The Germans and the British let each others officers live in manors and served them tea.

They were fairly cruel as fuck animals in general (the nazis taking all the press makes people forget what insane madmen the japanese extremist officers were) but there were some leading good officers in emperial army that made it a point to be "nice" to some enemy officers after subduing them for a fair bit.


The Germans and Brits officer class are whole another matter, some saw it as a prolonged chess game and some became friends.

The British don't seem to care about deescalating tensions - "Turkey has the right to defend it's airspace". This after deploying troops in Poland recently. What is wrong with the British government?
