You seem to be missing the point and the context of my response to another poster. Turkey is not in big trouble. And if Russia were to attack Turkey, a NATO member, Article 5 could be invoked. The only time Article 5 was invoked was after 9/11 when the US was attacked. NATO went into Afghanistan as a result.

Russia will not attack Turkey any more than we attacked the Soviet Union after they shot down more than a dozen US military aircraft during the Cold War. This will all blow over. And the Russians will be very careful about being near Turkish air space. The Russians were warned by the Turks two successive days before the shoot down that they would not tolerate continued Russian violation of their airspace. The Russian ambassador was called in twice.

We got into this before.

Russia doesn’t have to attack.They have the high ground and all Putin has to do is turn the screw,which he is masterfully turning now.

There is no way in HELL that France, Germany or any other NATO ally, particularly bath house Barry is going into a hot war with Russia over Turkey. No Way In HELL!

France is trying to get into bed with Russia in order to takeout ISIS and the Syrian Rebels because they know Obama is too much of a pussy to do it.

Turkey has lots more to lose in this than Russia including a hasty forced exit from NATO.They can also kiss goodbye any chance of ever getting into the EU, A desire they have had for decades.

Turkey will make a formal and public apology and they will eat crow and pay compensation to Russia and the downed pilots family.

Putin, though a scum and thug, is a real man. Obama is Putin’s bitch and they both know it.

That is just the way it is.

But I think that an accident to a Turkish warplane may happen once it is in the Syrian airspace. Because of communication failure or something.

Now that Russia has installed its most advanced radar system in Syria, the Turks will not be able to shoot down another Russian jet. Putin, will have Russian jets continually cross Turk airspace on purpose while daring them to do something about it. Putin is going to kick sand in Erdogans face and make him like it.
