Thanksgiving may be over in America, but, abroad?

Turkey is just heating up.

Especially after some extremely damning remarks made by Russian President Vladimir Putin Monday while speaking in Paris at the talks on climate change.

The controversial, oft-bare chested leader said the downing of one their fighter jets by Turkey recently — which killed one of their pilots — was a “huge mistake” and stirred the pot even more furiously by claiming that the Middle Eastern country and NATO member had done so in order to preserve their clandestine oil trade with ISIS (otherwise known as the Islamic State, ISIL, Daesh, etc.).

Turkey still vehemently refuses to apologize for the incident, but also denies any link to ISIS.

They’re actually a (slightly reluctant) participant in the United States-led coalition airstrikes on the terrorist organization.

The U.S. State Department, through one of their spokespeople Elizabeth Trudeau, expressed Monday that while evidence they’ve accumulated from both U.S. and Turkish sources indicates that the Russian warplane did indeed violate Turkey’s airspace, they’d like everyone to simmer down and “encourage dialogue now [and] need to de-escalate the situation”.**

Remember: Putin and Russia have been propping up disgraced and embattled Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad for years now and combatting rebels attempting to topple his regime, while Turkey has been one of Assad’s biggest adversaries.

ISIS is mostly funded by the sale of illegal oil, which, as the world now knows from their infamous destruction — most recently in France and Tunisia — someone is buying.

Turkish officials say its not them though.

Russia says they know they’re flat-out lying.

“We have every reason to think that the decision to shoot down our plane was dictated by the desire to protect the oil supply lines to Turkish territory,” Putin said, citing intelligence detailing ISIS oil passing through Turkey.

Putin and company have already imposed several economic sanctions on its newfound nemesis, banning food imports and ending visa-free travel.

According to the BBC, Russia is Turkey’s second-largest trading partner.

** – This stance goes against a previous Reuters report we cited, which said that a U.S. official (as well as the surviving Russian pilot Captain Konstantin Murakhtin) claimed the plane was in Syrian airspace — not Turkish — when it was totaled.
