Why? What will Nato do if Russia doesn’t? Shoot them a mean looking scowl?
I’m sure the Russians will respect that part of Turkish airspace not covered by the S400 system at Latakia ...
NATO? Or Turkey? If Turkey insists on being a turkey, it can’t hide behind the skirts of NATO-ness.
Russia is going to set up an event or events that will expose NATO as a paper tiger and bring down the Alliance.
Or else what?
Turkey will probably spell the end of NATO because they are becoming more radicalized. Combined with the growing Muslim population of Europe one has to wonder what NATO looks like in 20 years when their political power has grown far larger.
Now you done it. That’s how people die in saloons in Westerns. Somebody keeps egging on the combatants, calling them chicken until they ‘draw’. Normally, Nato might chicken out, but because they’re being taunted on freep, they’ll get WW III, presently ongoing, to a full boil over G-dam Turkey’s mother-f#$%#$%#ing air-space! They gotta be thrown out of NATO on their ass as of yesterday.
“Russia is going to set up an event or events that will expose NATO as a paper tiger and bring down the Alliance.”
No loss. Sort of tired of decades of European military welfare dependents.
In this chapter, NATO needs to repurpose and redefine its purpose, needs and intent.
It needs to sidle up to Russia for the new war and eject Turkey for the muslim group that they are.
We are in a new era, with different demands.
And then they’ll march into Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, etc., and not even wipe their feet at the door.
NATO will have a different face, if it even keeps on existing. Maybe the tenor of relations between the USA and Russia will change such that nobody will envision its need. NATO was an ad hoc creation in response to the danger the USSR posed.
I would imagine if Turkey drew us into a war, a lot of US soldiers will refuse to fight for Turkey.
An e-mail in all caps...
Turkey - also known as the departure lounge and supply depot for ISIS.
US soldiers don’t play those games, more’s the pity.
If — big if — they continue down their old road.
One major difference is that the new Russia also embraced Christianity. The USSR was officially atheist. This is an improvement over the brute consequences of enforced atheism. The church may be venal, but it isn’t just “nothing.”

With POS Obama as CiC,I’d take in or help any AWOL Soldiers or Marines. I never thought I’d say that.
Damn straight. First step, Turkey must go.
If Russia would restore Constantinople, I’m all for the Russians in that fight.
