Amb. Jeffrey: ‘If Putin’s Name Was Pinocchio, His Nose Would Be a Yard Long’

CLAMAN: “Russia has said there were no warnings. Turkey said, we gave them 10 warnings over five minutes. Who do you believe? And I’m guessing you’re believing Turkey on this one, ambassador.”

JEFFREY: “This isn’t even a close call. If Putin’s name was Pinocchio, his nose would be a yard long. He was not bombing ISIS [indecipherable] terrorist targets, he was bombing Turkmen who are fighting the Assad regime. There are no ISIS terrorists anywhere near where his aircraft were. The secondly, the U.S. military has confirmed did heard the ten, ten warnings that the Turks gave the Russians to stay out of their airspace. This is — was a follow-up to an incident that was very dangerous in October, where the Turks are reacted, but didn’t shoot anything down.”
