A military source told Turkey's Anadolu agency: "Accompanied by police and gendarmes, 20 tanks were sent by rail from Turkey's western provinces by railway to Gaziantep in the south of the country, and then redirected to the Syrian border."

Looks like Putin may achieve the eternal Russian policy goals they have been pursuing for half a millennium- returning Constantinople to the Orthodox faith, and getting a warm water port on the Med.

If I was Turkey, I would beg forgiveness

It is time that Obama admits he blew his chance to topple the regime years ago. He must now grovel and scrape to avoid a serious incident and the need for us to come to the aid of the worst member of NATO.

So, Turkey should beg forgiveness and the United States must grovel and scrape before Putin?

Well, all I can say is that if you were running Turkey or the USA, you would have been out of business a long time ago.

Jim, if you want to worship Putin, you are entitled to do so, but try to understand if most Americans do not share your enthusiasm.

Caliph is a Muslim thing. They're just fighting over who gets to sit in the big chair.

That is likely in addition to the armored brigades stationed on the border ... bringing them to full strength.

There's no point in Russia attacking Turkey. Turkey is 99% Mohammedan. They could never occupy Turkey in any meaningful way.

Ah yes .. but why would you assume they would want to occupy Turkey? They could just inflict some damage as revenge.

And what will they do for the next minute of the war, send in the street sweepers?

If that’s the case, it’s tantamount to poking the bear with a pointy stick...nothing good is going to come out of that gesture of bravado.

20 tanks? Like Russia is going to put troops on the ground.

Turkey better look at the high seas behind them.

USA needs to get the hell out of NATO. IF Europe wants to support these low life muzzie complicit bastards, that's their business. To me, they are not worth one single American casualty._.

How soon we forget how the Turks gave us hell over air space during the Iraq campaigns. Time for a little payback.

I have no love for Putin, he is a thug and a fascist, but the truth is the truth. He has outplayed Obama and everyone else by simply being the man that Obama could never be.

Do you think we are actually going to get into any type of hot war with Russia? Not a chance.

Obama is a known pussy, he squats to pee. The only people he crushes are American Citizens and the cowardly Republican leadership.

Turkey is as much of an adversary while being lead by the Islamist Erdagon as Russia, maybe more so in the long run. They should have been tossed from NATO when Erdagon was elected. If you want to call that an election.

Just so you understand. This is the way it will work out.

Russia will back Assad, Assad will regain his throne, Turkey will be cowed and Obama will be shown to be the loser and international joke he has always been.

Let's get it over with before it gets too embarrassing.
