Did Russia Just Threaten Turkey With Nuclear Weapons
Jewish Business News ^ | February 22, 2016

Posted on 02/22/2016 8:09:10 AM PST by Strategy

The US investigative journalist Robert Parry has made an astonishing claim - and one has gone completely unnoticed.

He is reporting that the Russian government has warned Erdogan that Russia is prepared to use tactical nuclear weapons to defend its Syrian strike force from Turkish attack.

Parry's exact words are as follows:

"A source close to Russian President Vladimir Putin told me that the Russians have warned Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan that Moscow is prepared to use tactical nuclear weapons if necessary to save their troops in the face of a Turkish-Saudi onslaught.

Since Turkey is a member of NATO, any such conflict could quickly escalate into a full-scale nuclear confrontation."

Maybe we should have condemned the Turks for shooting down a Russian plane...

The Turk response should be,”If you insist on placing your troops in the company of our enemy, it is you who puts them at risk.”

“Moscow is prepared to use tactical nuclear weapon”

Well as long as they are environmentally friendly I don’t have a problem with this.

Saw a video on Youtube this weekend where the Saudi Defense Minister stated that the Saudi’s have nukes and have had them for 2 years. The interview was in Arabic, subtiles supplied by Memri, but it was an astounding admission if true. I’ve been searching for corroboration but haven’t found anything yet.

Yeah. Putin should clear out so Erdogan can kill ALL the Kurds with impunity.

My understanding is Russian supported forces (Assad) have sealed off nearly 800 ISIL/rebels in Aleppo. Perhaps there maybe some key "Turks" in that group? The end result may be another Iloviask...

Turkey will not be happy.

If he thinks that he can get away with it and clearly uses it in defense of his forces, yes he will do it. The interesting part with be what happens next. Article 5 of the NATO treaty that would involve the US and all of NATO is based on defense of a NATO ally, but if the NATO ally is the aggressor, I am not sure that it applies. So if he were to do so over Syrian territory, Article 5 would likely not be invoked, although Turkey would clearly be calling for it. The Russian Nuclear arsenal is THE linchpin in Putin’s power. He would gladly demonstrate his willingness to use it. Never underestimate the extreme levels a narcissist will go to prove his merit.

If they are going to use them, now would be the time when we got the golfer/community organizer in the white house. No problemo and they’ll just hear some words that have no meaning.

I don’t expect it to happen this time, but who can doubt the future for this region laid out in the Bible. I think every human instinctively knows that something big and ugly will happen in this region.

Gosh. Remember what it was like when we used to have a real President?

A guy who could call up Erdogan and Putin and the Saudis and Soros and tell them to knock it off?

Instead, we have President Fumblebutt who is hoping to make a buck off this,
