Carson: 'I Would Establish a No-Fly Zone' Along Turkish Border
Newsmax ^ | 10/8/15 | Bill Hoffmann

Posted on 10/11/2015 10:07:21 AM PDT by jimbo123

Dr. Ben Carson has joined the growing chorus of outrage over Russian President Vladimir Putin's military muscle flexing, telling Newsmax TV a no-fly zone should be created along the Turkish border.

A sophisticated missile defense system should also be put in place to keep Russia's fighter jets in check, according to Carson, a retired pediatric neurosurgeon seeking the 2016 GOP presidential nomination.

"Vladimir Putin has expansionist ideas. He wants to really re-establish a worldwide Soviet influence," Carson told Newsmax TV's Steve Malzberg in an interview aired Thursday.

"He was very unhappy with the dissolution [of the Soviet Union]. Now he's looking for weakness. What we need to do is demonstrate that there is no weakness there."

And that means putting the kibosh on Russia's bullying of surrounding nations, he believes.

"We need to stand our ground with the airspace. I would establish a no-fly zone along the border with Turkey, in no way would I back off," Carson said.

a no-fly zone should be created along the Turkish border.

Say, didn’t Trump already suggest that?

Ben, you’re an accomplished physician, but you’re clueless about foreign policy.

There is nothing in Syria worth getting into a war with Russia over.

Why not let Turkey establish the no-fly zone if they want one?

I don’t know what Trump said but to prop up the butchering Turkish regime with a no-fly zone on their border would not be my policy.

They murdered a hundred Kurds with a bomb yesterday while they protesting on the streets of Ankara and have been launching continuous attacks on Kurdish territory while the Kurds are trying to fight the IS.

No, Trump suggested a Safe Zone for people somewhere in Syria. I think Vlad is working on that. No Islamists, No Problem.

I think Obama will find out Putin is ready to have a
no fly zone of his own over Syria.

Trump hasn’t called for No Fly Zones. But FioRINO and Rubio have:

Who does the no-fly zone protect? Al Nusra? Al Nusre = Al Qaeda.
There are no moderate Rebels, only jihadists.

Gee didn’t the Turks already do that?

But we and NATO and the Turks have no legal ground to take over Syrian airspace on the Syrian side of the border

Ben = amateur status

Nothing wrong with “me-too” if you are going to be the Vice-President candidate.

Looking more and more like this is the fit that will be made, given the course of events so far.

How about a “No Americans in places we have no business being” zone instead?

I am stunned daily by how many people want us to be Imperial America and to dictate the affairs on the other side of the world. Often it’s the same people bitching about America being worldcop.

Can’t have it both ways folks. Pick one.

The Turks are NOT our friends!

In a contest betwixt the Turks and the Russians I will choose the Russians!

I think Russia needs to insist the Turks stop flying over Syrian territory!

All Turkey wants to do is kill Kurds :-(

Ben, you need to reverse your priorities:

Shoot the Popeye Chicken robber.

Don’t shoot the Russians for Turkey.

beep!

wrong answer!

The right answer is: I would send Putin and thank you note for doing what needed to be done to rid the world of these satanic scum that our wussified population and elected officials cant bring themselves to do!

Putin has decided he is running this show....obuma screwed it up so badly with his ego, I'm surprised that anyone could do anything about it, but...

We are not there, we don't intend on being there, as as Trump said if Putin wants to run it, let him, and he is...

Carson, for what ever reasons, has been told by his handlers he needs to speak out on this, inept because he doesn't sound to me to be smart enough about war, but there again is only my opinion...I think Carson is many things, but this puts him in a bad light, but with the money that T Bone is putting into his coffers right now, seems like he is jabbering....

I don't like Putin nor do I trust him, but I don't like obuma either, so if someone can go in and clean up this obuma muslim brotherhood buddy mess, good for them...are people going to get killed, yes...are people going to get hurt, yes again, will they be Christians, yes and some won't be...that's war and we have fought enough of them to know this...I'm just glad we are NOT over there in the middle of this, we have lost enough brothers, uncles,husbands, fathers, we need to heal America and Make Her Great Again....hopefully, we will have time...

Seems like the Turks are already doing that, and it’s their border so let them defend it.
