This type of insane rhetoric alone should be enough to disqualify Rubio as a legitimate candidate for president:
"It is important for us to be very clear that we will respond and defend Turkey if they come under assault from the Russians. Otherwise the entire NATO alliance comes into question," Rubio, who is running for president, said on Fox News.
"If Russia believes that they can respond and retaliate against Turkey because NATO is not going to do anything about it, what they are basically doing is making the argument that NATO is no longer viable, that it is a feckless alliance."
The incident was the first time a NATO member has shot down a Russian target since the Cold War, and it threatened to escalate the political tensions surrounding the 4 year old civil war in Syria."
The neocons are still smarting over their failure to start World War 3 during the Cold War. It was the one that got away.
Note: The fact that Trump isn't being advised by these lunatics is one of the strongest arguments for his candidacy. It was his shining moment in the last debate.
Ohhhhh Rubio, Rubio, wherefore art tho a crackpot Rubio...
Marco Rubio, the Fox News Hotties Women Arousal Gap Candidate, no thinking applied.
Perhaps he is trying to over compensate with that speech lisp and all.
Obama has a speech lisp, as do majority of queers.
Marco’s a motor-mouth.
Exactly. If you haven’t read this article I highly recommend it for a concise summary of the situation:
The Obama Muslim Brotherhood Foreign Policy has Officially Failed
by Scott Adams
Barack Obama’s close friend and fellow Muslim Brotherhood supporter, Turkish President and NATO member Tayyip Erdogan’s decision to shoot down a Russian fighter jet that killed the Russian pilots marks the first time a NATO ally has shot down a Russian plane since the 1950s. It also represents the beginning of the end for President Barack Obama’s secret Muslim Brotherhood Middle East strategy and potentially sets in motion a new Cold War with Russia.

It is amazing that Rubio has become a bigger warmongering lunatic than John McCain.
And unlike McCain, who at least has “seen the elephant”, Rubio is a gutless chickenhawk.
Rubio can kiss my butt. And yes, I spent 25 years in the military, 4 of which were in Europe. We don’t owe the Turks squat, and their government would hate us even if Obama left office tonight.
The NATO alliance lost credibility when it intervened in a civil conflict in Serbia and forced the Serbians to give up territory to a cabal of Islamic narco-human trafficking terrorists to call their own state AKA Kosovo.
NATO lost any credibility it had left when it razed the country of Libya to the ground and left it to become the biggest terrorist training and supply camp in the world on the pretense of killing one man AKA Gadaffi.
What NATO nations did Serbia or Libya attack?
Well, we have a counter system designed specifically to take out the S-400 batteries.
The system is built by Raytheon and is excellent... but if we use this to take out their S-400 the next step would be the sinking of a US carrier somewhere...they have the hypersonic missiles to do it...and they are on the Moskva .. WW3 would follow close behind :-/
I was in Turkey, when I was in the USAF. I never thought the Turks were our allies. I really didn't want to be there at all. I thought Turkey was the absolute arm pit of the world. I still do.
He is towing Obama admin talking points.
I just saw a Army advertisement that said "To have a nation you must have a people that are willing to fight for it".... Do you suppose all those lefty girlie boys would be willing to fight and die for what the obummer thinks this nation should be.... I know for certain that me and mine would NOT do so........
Thanks for your service. Hope you have had a Blessed Thanksgiving!
Interesting - but then using it would spoil the fun later when a countrer is really needed. The carrier would be the Truman coming on station in the Med soon.
But has the system even been purchaced let alone deployed?
We really need those near useless F-35s quickly - all other budget items take second place!
We wouldn’t use such systems anyway - some civi some place could get a scratch, and that would put a damper on Obama’s ravings, not to mention his golf game.
Rubio was never on my acceptable list, but now his is on my never list. Freaking neocons are going to get us all killed. Turkey is ISIS!
Russia is killing Muslims.
No downside to that, unless you support Islam.
Rubio is a certified GOPe anti-American idiot. A year ago I thought this guy had some brains, but now, he’s proving himself to be a traitor. This guy is trying to sell out all real conservatives.
“No - the responsible action is to boot Turkey from NATO.”
Excellent post, getting to the heart of the matter.
I dont want to go to war with Russia over Turkey.
They are both trouble.
At least Russia is killing the right people.
Turkey as established by Ataturk is almost a thing of the past. With Erdogan leading her more and more toward an Islamist state, and with his dreams of leading a new caliphate, not only should we not get between Turkey and Russia in any way, but Turkey’s NATO membership should be reviewed very critically, and the EU would be nuts to allow Turkey to finally become a member.
Rubio sounds like an overconfident college kid who has no real clue what he’s talking about. And not just during this latest line of foolishness.
Why would Turkey need our help ... if they’ve got big enough balls to shoot down a Russian jet then surely they’re big enough to defend themselves.
