“Anyone familiar with how Turks perform in battle know that they are some of the fiercest soldiers in the world. The Russians want no part of them.”
Laughable. The only countries that could stand up to Russia are the US, Germany, and China.
While Obama may want the US to do so, I doubt our military would follow those orders.
Germany and China have no dog in this fight.
Putin is not the one playing with fire here.
Laughable? Tell that to the family of the dead Russian pilot? Turkey called in the Russian Ambassador twice in two consecutive days before shooting down the plane warning the Russians to stop violating their airspace. Then they shot the plane down.
Might want to recheck current status of German forces. 60k total active uniformed Bundeswehr ain't gonna handle the migrant yout overload as desired by Merkel, much less Russian army. regards, C
