Rubio calls to 'defend Turkey' against Putin
The Hill ^ | Nov 24 2015 | The Hill

Posted on 11/24/2015 8:03:32 PM PST by WilliamIII

Turkey’s shooting down of a Russian jet fighter is a “critical moment” for the U.S. and its allies to stand up to Moscow, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) said Tuesday.

Hours after the Kremlin condemned Turkey’s decision to shoot down the warplane for entering its airspace, Rubio warned against letting Russia get the upper hand.

“It's important for us to be very clear that we will respond and defend Turkey if they come under assault from the Russians. Otherwise the entire NATO alliance comes into question,” Rubio, who is running for president, said on Fox News.

Calling Putin a gangster and a crimina

A gangster who levies a flat 10 percent income tax rate on Russians. Wow, we could use a “gangster” like that in America! Even the GOP tax plans are all higher than that!

Michael Savage said today that he thinks part of the animus against Putin among the D.C. establishment is based on the gay issue.

I really could not care less about how Rubio came to his conclusion.

Only that he’s right on this issue.

I really don’t think that you understand what Russia is up to. If you did, your perspective would change. Rubio apparently does understand it. I find it unfortunate and somewhat baffling why so many here on the forum are so smitten by Putin.

You do know that he is playing you....don’t you.

Putin is not in Syria to kill ISIS. He’s there to save Assad. He also would like to eliminate as many Uyghurs and Russian nationals as he can so that they don’t return to the Russian sphere or to China, their newly minted partners. There are also a number of targeted groups that Assad would like eliminated permanently. But none of this has anything to do with ISIS. He has his own interests in mind.(which is why he is destroying the Turkmen, which is where that plane crashed and why it was shot down by Turkey)

The second reason he is there is the same reason he’s claiming the Arctic and has militarized it, and he is flexing his limited muscles all over the West with intrusions. He has domestic concerns and these activities keep his population somewhat distracted.

Key to any major moves will be the dissolution of NATO.

The end game, as Nathan said, is to bring the former satellite countries of the Soviet era, back into the fold to create the buffer zone he had before. Once he has that he can expand it into the Eurozone.

It appears to me, based on what I see here, that we will let it happen, thinking he is going to kill ISIS as well...but he’s not...he will exploit them, just as Iran is.((his other strategic partner)

“For these reasons alone they should have been kicked out of NATO long ago.”

Hells bells, for the reasons you stated NATO should bomb Turkey.

I thought about that but, disagree.

If Puti bitch slaps the amd pawns America, there is a chance we get our dander up and right the ship, with prejudice.

Might even hurt some feelings as well....

Turkey is a back stabber.

I have no doubt they gave Putin assurances he could use that space.

And remember they blocked us right before Gulf War 2. It’s a big reason Northern Iraq was FUBAR all along until now.

Putin is not in Syria to kill ISIS. He’s there to save Assad

Right. The one can’t happen without the other. If you agree with Obama that Assad should be ousted, then — like Obama — you learned nothing from Lybia or the “Arab Spring” in Egypt. I’m signing off from you now. You’re like the definition of insanity — trying the same thing (overthrowing secular dictators in the Middle East) and expecting a different result.

GO PUTIN.

The Cold War is over and Russia is more capitalist than the U.S.
