I agree with most of your post - but the Russians are not as weak as you think..

The US Air Force would grind Ivan back to the stone ages if we had to.. but they are not weak..

Russia would roll thru turkey in a week if they wanted to..

Russia is the only country fighting against muslims right now and I support that.. and if that makes me bad then so be it.. our president and government is supporting the enemy and it’s disgusting.

No, no actually they could not. Turkey has about 600,000 active military personnel and are generally a first world military (up to NATO standards). Russia has about 800,000 active military personnel with only about a 1/4th at first world standards (if that). As Russia would be the invading force they would need enormous force projection ability - and Russia does not have this. Force projection capability is what sets the US, France and the UK apart from most other nations - especially the US of course.

No Russia could not roll through Turkey. If they were actually going to fight that war they'd either need to use their nukes or have months of conscription, moving equipment into theater, etc. And of course Turkey would see all that going on and do the same, only it would be easier for them.
