Russia isn't going to take on Turkey in any conventional sense. They will likely cut off energy supplies and bomb the Turkmen areas near the Turkish border, but inside Syria. If there were any massive Turkish attack, Russia would likely use nukes to reply, but that is not likely IMO.

They’ll send in their special forces to find out who shot down the jet and deal with them and will tell Turkey to go pound sand.

Turkey’s a duplicitous, islamist loving, backstabbing bastard. I hope Russia pounds the crap out of them. And then comes back and gives them some more for the Kurds.

The Russian peasants kicked Hitlers ass and drove his army back 1,000 miles with not much more than Mosin-Nagant rifles and -40 degree winters.

The modern Russian army is a lot better armed and backed by a nuclear weapon inventory.

I sure wouldn’t place my bets on Turkey if this situation escalates.

Turkey could cut off transit rights through the straits and the Russian Navy in the Mediterranean would be in a real pickle.

I can’t believe it, but in this current situation, I am solidly behind Russia and against the Obama government!
