Since the hoax / coup, everything has been following an script written by Erdogan. He got what he could from a nominally democratic USA and now he’s turning to reliable friends for the developing autocratic Islamist state he’s building. Europe will still be there and Russia is more dependable as Turkey flexes it muscle.

Right now, no matter what.

Each one of them is ten times the Hiroshima bomb.

A small country would be alienated.

Very interesting site. US interests, with Obummer and J EF'N Kerry involved, are no better off that when the Hildabeast was at State. After Libya, all nations are alert to the underhanded and covert works of the present administration.

They risk war and have no idea of how to fight one.

He was interviewed by Russia’s first satellite? Now that is impressive!

I can see most small countries would feel so. Then there is tiny Israel. Never alienated. Always ready.

No sense in even trying to “fight.”

Remember when the Qatar group was going to finance and build (more than one) pipeline through Syria and Turkey to Greece and supply all of Western Europe with natural gas and petro products from the Qatari - Saudi group, completely cutting Russia out of the European market?

That pipeline through Turkey still will be built, but it will carry only Russian controlled gas (including Israeli East Med gas) and petro to Western Europe, completely cutting out Qatari and Saudi gas.

Turkey will clean up, but the most important outcome is the US backed Qatar and Saudi interests will be screwed but good, and Russia did the screwing.

Last I heard, the B61 weapon had an adjustable yield of 0.30 to 340 kilotons, significantly larger than Hiroshima, but not in the megaton range.

My information may be dated or incorrect.

But we are not cutting hairs.

LOL. Only a boot licking Putinist such as Russian Navy Patriot would think that Russia having a monopoly on LNG pipelines to Europe is a good thing.

Putinist Russia is a malignant force. History shows were Russia goes, misery follows.

True, interestingly, WWII Germany got along well with their Mohammedan allies until their defeat.

WWI Germany also got along well with their Mohammedan allies until their defeat.

Both defeats limited Islamic expansion in Europe after those wars, and disassociated and secularized much Islam in Middle East.

This time, after NATO interceeded for the Islamic terrorist KLA in Kosovo, Serbia, Germany's government has been able to "get along with" and expand the Islamic proto Caliphate in Europe, while coaching Ukraine NAZIs in killing White Christians.
