***And Turkey means business. They won’t tolerate what the KGB thug Putin is doing. Maybe if we had a real leader as President, we wouldn’t be allowing Putin to get away with the crap he is directing against us. Or his invasion of Ukraine and seizure of Crimea.***
First of all, Erdogan is an Islamic extremist who wants to begin the caliphate with the center of it in Turkey, so I don’t know why you are so supportive of that bastard.
As far as allowing Putin to get away with crap he’s directing against us? Or his seizure of Crimea and going into Ukraine tell me, who has caused more world-wide destruction/instability Putin or the combo of Bush/mainly Obama with their excursions into Iraq, Egypt, Afghanistan, Yemen, Libya, Syria, and cuddling up with Iran and Turkey I would have to say the US has caused more destabilization in the World than in other country in the World at this point.
If we had been serious under Bush in actually eradicating Islam we wouldn’t be in this mess right now. We would have wiped Saudi Arabia off the map 1st. And we would have never even considered electing someone with the name Barack Hussein Obama.
Now before I get slammed for taking the side of a KGB communist, which I am not, just remember we have an Islamist loving, terrorist supporting President, Justice Dept.,DOD, HS and apparently mostly Islamist supporting congress and Senate, both parties. At this moment in history someone tell me which is worse?
Turkey is a member of NATO. Erdogan was elected to office democratically by the Turkish people. Do you have a source for the assertion that he wants to "begin the caliphate with the center of it in Turkey"?
I am not supportive of Erdogan, but Turkey has a right to protect its sovereignty.

So America is the problem? So we deserved the two bombings of the WTC, our two embassies in East Africa, the USS Cole, the Marine Barracks in Lebanon, Kobar Towers, etc.? Do we deserve these attacks? Are we supposed to absorb them without response?

Wipe out Islam with 1.3 billion followers? You are madder than a March hare.
The Ukraine mess is a mess, to a significant measure because, when the Soviet Union drew boundaries, the Crimea, which had been Russian since Catherine the Great, was put in the administrative district of the Ukraine, never anticipating the consequences of a break-up.
The Russians are never ever going to give up their Black Sea ports - ever. It is too important for commerce and for its military influence. Right now, Russia can dominate the Black Sea if it needs to. Let Ukraine join NATO with the Crimea and Russia is out.
That isn't going to happen. Never - and yes, never is a very very long time.
I have no considered position on the Ukraine, but any American idiot who thinks the Crimea could be allowed to go its own way might consider the a likely US position on the secession of Hawaii.
Geo-politic is an adult game.
