Turkey’s shooting down of a Russian jet fighter is a “critical moment†for the U.S. and its allies to stand up to Moscow, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) said Tuesday.
Hours after the Kremlin condemned Turkey’s decision to shoot down the warplane for entering its airspace, Rubio warned against letting Russia get the upper hand.
“It's 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.

Why? They hate us.
Rubio just gave Yeb a boost in th polls.
Rubio is drinking the Jebbie/0bama Koop made.
I hate having to be this blunt, but not only is Rubio unprincipled, he’s dumber than a brick.
ABSOLUTELY NOT!! What is this madness. WE could care less !! The Russians are invited by the sovereign government of Syria to help them kill the ISIS bastard. Rubio has lost his fricken MIND!!! This is madness!! GO PUTIN !! KIll all you want and bomb the hell out of TURKEY!! Good LUCK and God speed!!
Childish. Never served a day.
I agree, and this shows he is unfit to lead. What a maroon.
Grab a rifle and stand to post, then, Rico Suave!
And then the Syrian Turkmen, who are supported by the USA and Turkey, shot parachuting pilots in the sky. It seems like this would be a war crime.
...NATO is a defense pact, not an aggression pact....
Nor, is it a suicide pact to protect against minor border incursions. Leave Turkey to the islamics.
Rubio and Hillary parrot the CIA’s talking points. No fly zones. Immigration. Get tough on Putin.
You defend Turkey, Marcy, you silly, little war monger.
I don’t give a damn sh!t About Turkey.
Yes, I would love to send my kids to fight for TURKEY and the ridiculous schemes of Barack Obama.
Great idea Marco.
Let them fight Russia alone.
Kick those fools out of NATO.
I agree.
Turkey supports the terrorists, Roofio.
Oh yeah. Thanks for the reminder.
Turkey Violated Greek Airspace 2,244 Times Last Year, Fires At Russia For Doing It Once

I guess Turkey is allowed to violate airspace of another country, but not Russia.
If he proposed sending an army to invade Turkey and re-establish the Byzantine Empire at Constaniple, then i MIGHT at least listen....
