So many people here were incorrectly claiming Turkey and Russia were going to war.

Turkey was probably made an "offer they couldn't refuse". Rumors that the US engineered the attempted coup in Turkey probably didn't help either.

Obama has the opposite of the Midas touch - everything he touches turns to sh*t.

Well, it remains to be seen. Turkey is a large country and has the scale and will to fight. Should Russia try any mischief with Turkey Russia will regret it.

Turkey and Russia went to a Cold War, which Russia quickly won. Turkey threatened to seize the Dardanelles, over which the Crimean War (”World War Zerp”) had been fought. Russia blasted the hell out of Turkey’s allies in Syria, prompting Turkey to flip from pro-ISIS to anti-ISIS. Now, Russia is using Turkey to influence Ukraine.

Remember the Nazi-Soviet Non-Aggression Pact.
