Turkey will neither need or request our help in a fight with Syria. It will be modern Western technology against 1970-1980s Eastern Block technology and like in every other confronttion of the two over the last 40-50 years, the field will be littered with burned out hulks of the eastern block equipment.

Russia may threaten and try to get involved, but the Turks are perfectly capable of keeping them out of the Med if they want...and the few who might get in will be inconsequential. Russia would have to escalate with large scale conventional ballistic missile attacks, and I do not believe theat would make the difference either.

And Turkey is a member of NATO so that kind of escalation would make it a much bigger thing in any case which I do not believe Putin is willing to lay on the table for Assad.

Assad is a dead man walking.

Zero is an Islamo-Communist tool.

The Arab Spring is the replacement of secular regimes with Islamist ones.

Erdogan's Turkey presents as Islamism ascendant.

Putin is punished by Saudi production for arming the regime which resists Sunni rebels.

And he can't even do that--insurance cancellation turned around a shipload of helicopters.

Zero bowed low to the Saudi king; he grinds our Constitution underfoot in the manner Ayers used on our flag.

This is not time for popcorn.

This is time to turn off the Kardashian soma and snap:

The action is not in the field--the action is in the Muslim Oval Office.
