I might agree with that sentiment except that Turkey is a member of NATO, and Syria has a formal defensive pact with Russia. Things could get out of control very quickly especially with Barry Soetero at the controls.

Just great, we’re going to go to war to bail out frickin’ Turkey, especially after what they did to us during the Iraq War.

That whole NATO thing didn’t seem to bother Erdogan when he was taking cheap shots at the Iraqi Kurds-—inside Iraq. He’s been shooting his mouth off a lot lately about how big a problem the Israelis are. Let’s see how good he is at handling an actual problem. And he had damm well better protect those refugees from Syria who are on his side of the border. If he doesn’t I can see the Kurds lighting it up also. Just once I expect Putin would like to get paid for some of that Russian scrap iron that papers the ME——but it looks like there’s gonna be another pile of it.

The NATO of today is not the NATO of the cold war. The US has ceded leadership to the gaggle of bureaucrats in Brussels, and no way will this collection of derelicts go to war for Turkey against Russia.
