Let me get this straight.

Turkey has ground troops in Syria. Is fully engaging Syrian government troops in ground combat and is considering more government targets to engage.

And shot down a Russian plane that was in its airspace for like 30 seconds for violating its sovereignty.

Get Turkey out of NATO ... NOW! The Turk Islamists have no legitimacy INVADING a neighboring country. Whatever repercussions come Turkey’s way should be “suffered” by Turkey alone. We have no treaty obligations to protect Turkey from the CONSEQUENCES of its own actions!

Seeing as how Syria has been fighting this war for years and therefore battle trained and honed, Turkey is going to find out the hard way it’s not going to be easy . For the rest of us it’s popcorn time!

‘Turkey’ hasn’t been in any major conflicts, since it stopped being The Ottoman Empire in WW1!

I would imagine that they are out of practice, unless you call slaughtering Armenians, practice.

Sounds like push has finally come to shove between Turkey and Syria, and it could be outright war. Turkey is not trying to hide behind deniable surrogates any longer.

NATO must clarify that Turkish aggression negates NATO’s responsibilities in the conflict

Perhaps now the foolishness of relying on Russian air defenses will be made all too clear.

Turkey needs to get rid of Erdogan, before he brings epic disaster to Turkey. The economy is already heading over the cliff.
