Obama’s fingerprints are all over it. This should really help the Democrats in 2016!
This is a little over the top.
I say it’s time to kick Islamic Turkey outta NATO. And to explicitly support the commie Kurds.
I think the big problem here is NATO. We should NOT support Turkey in any shape or form. I’d rather move to Russia.
Obama put us in a position whereby any initiative on our end could be construed as an affront against Russia. This is what happens when you don’t take the lead
All part of Obama being flexible. He helped cut military spending, which makes it hard to wage a war or two.
Where have they been all morning?
Warplane crashes in Syria near Turkeys border

So a ISIS supported shots down a plane that is bombing ISIS to get NATA to attack the ISIS attacker. Sure does sound like a back stabbing plan Odumby would use to protect islum.
>>such action as it deems necessary,
NATO isn’t a suicide pact.
“such action as it deems necessary, including the use of armed force, to restore and maintain the security of the North Atlantic area.”
We are NOT required to go to war on behalf of Turkey. We can deem any lesser action such economic sanctions etc sufficient and let that be it.
It the concept is hard remember how Turkey stabbed us in the back in Iraq, changing the nature of the war and costing US lives.
Or remember when Turkey invaded Cyprus.
No, we are not required to go to war for the caliphate, though Obama would love to.
“Turkey claims the Russian warplane crossed into Turkey’s airspace, a violation that warranted the extreme action. Make no mistake about it, this could be viewed as an act of war”
Turkey flies into Syria every single day to bomb Kurds against the will of the Syrian government. That an act of war also?
I’m having a hard time worrying about Turkey. Is there a way for Russia to nuke it without disturbing Ephesus? They could then continue all the way to the eastern most island in the Indonesian archipelago. Do they have enough?
I would look for Russia to push close to Turkey, to provoke and take down a few of their jets. Bait and attack.
I don’t think Putin is this dumb. It will blow over.
Obama, Hillary & Kerry all want Assad gone, dropping fliers on ISIS warning them of imminent bombings.
This reminds me of the old Star Trek episode where Kirk gets a disease that make him old and senile and this arrogant Federation moron who has no idea what he is doing takes over command of the Enterprise and things go to hell until they are on the verge of war with the Romulans who completely surround them and threaten them with complete destruction when finally McCoy finds a cure and Kirk retakes command, gets them out of the mess and they escape and things are back to normal. Then the Federation guy concedes that he sees the importance of having the right man in command.
This is exactly what is going on now. We have this arrogant moron who has absolutely no idea what the hell he is doing and things are going from bad to worse. How far is Congress going to let this go on until they remove this idiot? How many millions of lives are they willing to risk? The arrogance of this President and this Congress is utterly despicable to the extreme.
Eh, probably not. For one thing I don’t see the current administration actually being dedicated enough to join in, which makes it hard to have a world war. But it is a fine shining example of why entering into mid-east situations is a no win proposition, not much good has happened for Putin since diving into these waters.
