If the Russian bear attacks Turkey will Britain and France join Turkey again as in the 1850 Crimean War?

For a war that started in Jerusalem over monks having a fist fight it sure went to the Ukraine real fast.

“If the Russian bear attacks Turkey will Britain and France join Turkey again as in the 1850 Crimean War?”

Russia is not going to attack Turkey. Turkey is being slowly but surely pulled into the Russian sphere of influence.

This is just a handy excuse for Russia to expand its operations in Syria, and probably other areas of the Middle East now as well.

Unfortunately, if the Russian bear attacks Turkey NATO is treaty bound to defend the Turks.

Eerily similar to events in the Balkans 102 years ago.

Let the Russians have their way with the Turks. Maybe we will all be better off.

It doesn’t sound like his ire will be directed at Turkey though...from what he said...
