As I recall, Turkey is NATO, and we are thus bound by treaty to support them in the event of an outside attack.
This could get interesting very quickly.
If I were Putin. I would launch an intermediate range ballistic missile right over turkey with a low kiloton nuclear warhead exploding over Raqqa.
The next phone call I would make is to notify the country of turkey look the next nuclear missile may have a malfunction if they persist.
Ping
But this isn’t as important as climate change.....
Is this total war?
The Third World War just started.... I wonder if our stupid President will have the courage to admit it?
bet they slit their throats
Very interesting. Thanks for posting.
As long as NATO chickens out as it should, I am okay with a Turkey/Russia war.
Why, what will Russia do? Start bombing more? Wait, I thought we have already seen "Russia's unrelenting might" and their "breathtaking military hardware and new technology" yet here we still are. I cannot believe the adulation Russia brings. Sure, we are all glad they joined the fight against the terrorists, but let us get real for a second. We have been flying thousands of sorties for well over a decade and bombing just about the whole time, and yet the Islamic State is a dug in and entrenched thorn in the world's side. Unless everyone is talking about a massive ground invasion, Russia, the United States, France and whoever will be "bombing and backing their pet rebels" until the cows come home.
Looks as it the Turks and Syrians are pretty well armed.
I hope Russia bombs Turkey back into the stoneage for this!
Turkey used to be a good country and should have been a strong ally of the US.
To allow them into the EU and into NATO when they were on the brink of being taken over by the Islamofascists was a mistake that Western Civilization will regret for decades.
FRiends, with all the changes in the world, and all the brainwashing — to such an extent that many patriotic Americans support Putin over our own government — it is all the more important that we keep our thoughts and minds clear so that we will not be deceived into our own slavery.
Hold fast the Bible, our Founding Fathers, and the great works of liberty in the Western canon.
Will Putin start isolating Obama from the world by asking the simple question .... Do you think Obama is going to be a reliable ally in a Nato lead global conflict?
I think Germany is going to split and the rest of Europe in turmoil if Nato considerations are invoked.
Imagine all the little banana kingdoms set up by ‘Strongman’ Abdulla’s and Mustafa’s all throughout Europe?
Obama is no where to be found so I am guessing he is cowering under his desk.
Look at the bright side. The Kurds are FINALLY about to get the weapons they’ve been hoping for. IN SPADES!!
Turkey is a NATO member. What does the US do if (when) Russia seeks revenge?
I have a very bad feeling about this.
According to this article the Turks shot the pilots as they descended under their parachutes.
