Turkey are not against us, they are quite rightly looking out for themselves.

That pretty much sums it up. I like Turkey, so I hope that our interests don't diverge enough where we have to fight. We have to look after ourselves just like they do, and they could really start a bad chain reaction up there right now.

I wonder if I offered to marry the one on the right if I could talk her into giving me the Dragunov as a dowry?

Rick, this is one of my favorites things about this forum.... someone takes the time to gather this type of information for us all....... and you are right, we won't see all of these images on TV, although I will say they have surprised me by the lack of coverage of the communists sympathizers and their rallys..........
