Bear in mind, Turkey is still a NATO country, and has recourse of Article 5 if they should claim to be attacked by Armenia and/or Russia. Under the treaty we Become engaged.
Tuck Furkey, they didn’t help us in Iraq.
“Under the treaty we Become engaged.”
President Trump would tell’em to stick it. But he’d be in there trying to negotiate a peace...and probably earn a fourth Nobel Prize nomination.
A Joe Biden presidency would jump in feet first, without looking, on the assumption that “Biden Inc” could make some money out of the situation. Hunter would be on Air Force One immediately, flying over to do what Hunter is famous for...
Sucks.
Anywhere in the NATO treaty that says after coming to Turkey’s rescue, all the member states get to slap Turkey upside the head?
“The Parties agree that an armed attack against one or more of them in Europe or North America shall be considered an attack against them all and consequently they agree that, if such an armed attack occurs, each of them, in exercise of the right of individual or collective self-defence recognized by Article 51 of the Charter of the United Nations, will assist the Party or Parties so attacked by taking forthwith, individually and in concert with the other Parties, such action as it deems necessary, including the use of armed force, to restore and maintain the security of the North Atlantic area.
Any such armed attack and all measures taken as a result thereof shall immediately be reported to the Security Council. Such measures shall be terminated when the Security Council has taken the measures necessary to restore and maintain international peace and security.”
"Such action as it deems necessary" -- and Trump decides what is "deemed necessary" for US response, including doing nothing.
