As bad as "I" make things out to be?
History is history, I have nothing to do with the destruction of Lebanon or revolution in Egypt or 40,000 dead syrians.
Excellent historical rant!
Russia is glad to see these local wars spring up, and the US or its allies destroying old Russian Tanks and other junk and desposing mean dictators, like Krazy Kadadfy and Saddam.
Then, they can sell more old junk to the newest dictators/buddies they have helped to become the newest dictators/buddies.
Of course the demand for the Russia’s reliable AK47’s and RPGs never stops.
Re gas prices, here in Californicator land the prices in June have been dropping. Even high priced Chevron is below $4/ gallon for regular.

>> got our new NATO member in Turkey
huh?
An overthrow in Syria outside of Russia’s control will bring the arab spring to Iran. We should want that.
Also, Gazprom just threatened the Trans Anatolian Pipeline (Turkey and the Azeris) http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2901585/posts We’re talking about the Russian sphere of influence and her control of gas going into Europe.
US party politics, religious convictions and or fobias, or just basic racism should not be made to interfere with the progress of US interests in this extremely energized and volatile region.
Good to hear from you again.
I had a couple of older cousins and some older friends in the Korean War, and they had nothing but praise for the Turks in that war.
Keep us posted with what you know.
My wife’s niece was in Turkey last week for a wedding, and she and her husband are back to their assignment in Africa.
They loved Turkey and the positive treatment from the Turks they met and talked to during the week.
You. Just you. Yeah, whatever. I yet to say anything to you, wtc911, that you didn’t rubbish in some way, and you’re that way with just about everybody else too. I don’t think I’ll have much more to say to such a thoroughly disagreeable person.
How’s that for relative calm. I’m glad you have such an easy to remember nick: wtc911 = jerk.
Bizaar post old timer. We have "ears" in Turkey, to watch for Russian ICMB's. We have troops in Turkey. We have nukes in Turkey. We have bases in Turkey. We have ports in Turkey. Are you really so stupid as to believe the assinine crap you post?
Sorry. My post was harsher than I intended. Old FRiend.....I've worked with the Turks. They are some of the best people on Earth. They are loyal and friendly. They value education, a Turk seargent I worked with had a degree in Finite Analysis. Most of them are Muslim, so what, as was explained to me, by a Master Seargent....who was laughing I might add "We're all Musilms because that is what is recorded on your birth certificate, and there isn't anyway to change it without lengthy legal time and money".
I was with the Turks when they went to Greece with their F-16's for joint excercises....the Ouzo and Raki flowed freely...and both militaries acted like they had found long lost brothers.
The Turks have and still do host the Israeli's, though toned down now. We are not talking about a bunch of tribal morons that live in the hills and take pot shots at Americans like in Afganistan. We are talking about a first world, modern country, with a a standing army only second to the US in NATO. Syria will be wearing their ass for a hat if they screw with the Turks.......and Assad knows it.....
Understood. I spoke only from my own history. In 1971 I was at Maguire AFB trying to hitch a ride back to my unit at Lajes. No US units would take me (going back early). Finally a foreign C130 crew gladly took me. Best US friends, ever or so it seemed. It was an Iranian crew who’d just picked up a new C130. We all know how this story ended.
Good news.
When an Islamofascist masses his Russian Tanks, he creates a vast target of opportunity.
In the past, masses of Russian Tanks have been been turned into twisted masses of rusting scrap metal and often a violent end for the Islamofacists sending the tankers to a harsh end with no virgins waiting for them.
How long while the Assad mass murdering serial killers last after their tanks and airforce are destoyed?
