Let the Turks fight their own battles.

When we needed to fly over to get to Iraq, Turkey said no.
So they bought and paid for this.

It’s our turn to say NO!

If you recall, it was Pelosi who pissed of Turkey with that “Armenian Genocide Resolution” in the house prior to the invasion but shortly after she was in the region meeting with some unsavory characters. The woman is pure anti-American.

Let the Turks fight their own battles.

When did they ask for any help?

[Jeff Head]

Turkey will neither need or request our help in a fight with Syria. It will be modern Western technology against 1970-1980s Eastern Block technology and like in every other confronttion of the two over the last 40-50 years, the field will be littered with burned out hulks of the eastern block equipment.

Russia may threaten and try to get involved, but the Turks are perfectly capable of keeping them out of the Med if they want...and the few who might get in will be inconsequential. Russia would have to escalate with large scale conventional ballistic missile attacks, and I do not believe theat would make the difference either.

And Turkey is a member of NATO so that kind of escalation would make it a much bigger thing in any case which I do not believe Putin is willing to lay on the table for Assad.

Yes I’d actually love to see Russia dust up the Turks . Maybe they could continue to Istanbul and clean out that dumb-ass mosque built on one of the formerly great wonders of the world the Hagia Sophia church and return the seat of the Eastern Orthodox Church to its rightful place. Oh and also rename the city Constantinople.
