Putin would know what a dictator is.
Its why I support Ted Cruz.
Smart enough to know better than just hand the mideast to Russia while being smart enough to know we don’t need a direct conflict with them to restrain them.
In this case I think Turkey was clearly in the wrong and they should not be in NATO to begin with but that’s really separate from Russia.
I think, if the quote is real, it’s a metaphor for a massive and humiliating defeat. Like we would talk about a sneak attack as a Pearl Harbor or final defeat as a Waterloo.
“A short-term border violation can never be a pretext for an attack” - Turkey’s Erdogan in 2012
Got hypocrisy?
In a fight between ISIS loving Erdogan and ISIS crushing Putin, would you rather they cheered for Erdogan? Why would any sane Christian cheer for Erdogan or Obama for that matter?
Just out of curiosity, what has Putin done to “fight” for Christianity and Christian principles?
I am surprised Putin was so restrained. I imagined a meeting between him and the Turkish ambassador resulting in a small caliber round inserted between the eyes of the emissary. The remaining question would have been if the body were returned whole, in pieces, or the Turks were dared to come get him.
Da, comrade.
#25, and #26.
Just by seriously and actually and going all out to kill and destroy the Christians beheading ISIS vermin alone, he’s done a heck of a lot more to fight for Christianity than Obama and the Western European leaders ever did. If anything, Obama has actually been arming ISIS. Turns out a lot of the US supplied weapons ostensibly for anti-Asad forces, ended up in the hands of ISIS. The US “bombing raids” against ISIS have been a joke. It’s been revealed that Obama explicitly stopped US bombers from bombing ISIS fuel trucks or warned them to get off the roads or leave their trucks in the few cases they actuAlly dropped bombs. I mean, you just can’t make this stuff up.
That would be an improvement over having the Mohammedans control it. In fact, today it would be a great idea.
So you believe that Russia is bombing ISIS. That’s cool.
The principle of defending the turkmen in Syria was the same logic that Russia used in Ukraine.
Will Turkey send “volunteers” into the turkmen mountains now; just as Russia sent “volunteers” into Crimea?
“Then tell your dictator president he can go to hell along with his ISIS terrorist and I shall make Syria to nothing but a ‘Big Stalingrad’ , for ErdoÄŸan and his Saudi allies are no vicious than Adolf Hitler,” said Putin...
Damn. I don’t want to like Putin, and his rant ‘sounds’ like Hitler...but damn.
Don't forget re-consecrating St. Sophia.
The Russians are late to the game. The French have been bombing Syria (and ISIS) for months.
