Turkey troops have ZERO right to be INSIDE Syria...ZERO!
So Turkish troops, inside Syria, and assisting anti-Syrian terrrorists are hit in an airstrike aimed at the terrorists.
Maybe the Turks should stay on their side of the border.
Turkey has a large air force, navy and army. If they retaliate this could easily involve the Russians, which may be the Syrian plan. Putin is riding a nationalistic fever to new heights of popularity. That would surely change if lots of body bags come home. So far I think the war has been relatively low-cost in terms of Russian lives.
If the Russians start losing lots of people look for them to rapidly escalate to weapons the Turks don’t have. They will probably go to fuel-air bombs and imply they’ll use tactical nukes. Putin simply can’t afford to lose popularity at home. That would combine with other issues to get him removed from power (killed.)
Freaking Turks! They will go to war with Syria and then Russia and will expect the USA to back them up because of the NATO charter. The problem is the Turks have no right to be inside Syria.
Ask McCain about what we are doing there. He seems to be in charge here.
I hope the dangerous Syrian-Iranian alliance will have a ‘problem’ with Turkey...
I always thought the name "turkey" doesn't match the nature of the birds.
I would rather they be called something like "Self-Basting Freezer Eagles".
So this is where world war 3 begins?
