It is time that Obama admits he blew his chance to topple the regime years ago. He must now grovel and scrape to avoid a serious incident and the need for us to come to the aid of the worst member of NATO.
So, Turkey should beg forgiveness and the United States must grovel and scrape before Putin?
Well, all I can say is that if you were running Turkey or the USA, you would have been out of business a long time ago.
Jim, if you want to worship Putin, you are entitled to do so, but try to understand if most Americans do not share your enthusiasm.
Do you think we are actually going to get into any type of hot war with Russia? Not a chance.
Obama is a known pussy, he squats to pee. The only people he crushes are American Citizens and the cowardly Republican leadership.
Turkey is as much of an adversary while being lead by the Islamist Erdagon as Russia, maybe more so in the long run. They should have been tossed from NATO when Erdagon was elected. If you want to call that an election.
Just so you understand. This is the way it will work out.
Russia will back Assad, Assad will regain his throne, Turkey will be cowed and Obama will be shown to be the loser and international joke he has always been.
Let's get it over with before it gets too embarrassing.
Jim said nothing in praise of Putin. He correctly identified the culprit (Obama) and identified the likely course of action by Obama.
