"Screw that commie KGB bastard. Putin is not gonna start World War 3 because he knows that a country with a GDP the size of Texas has no chance of surviving let alone winning a nuclear exchange with the US and our European allies. Putin is just as big an asshole as Obama, Erdogan and the leaders of the European NATO countries but Putin fwill not be risking his two months at the dacha for one bomber, all the drama queens here at FR not withstanding."

I didn't say Putin was going to start WW III. Previous World Wars (WW I and WW II) did not start all at once. They started when one "small provocation" led to another bigger reaction, and an escalation here, and an expansion to other countries there, etc.

I said that it is almost a certainty that Putin will respond (and respond strongly) to this Turkish provocation. Do you honestly think Putin won't respond to this Russian jet, pilot, and rescue helicopter being shot down/blown up??

If he does respond, there will either be a NATO response (including the U.S.) to the Russian action, or there won't be a NATO response to the Russian action against the Turks. If there is a NATO response...

Now do you honestly think that Obama "the leaflet bomber" is ready to go toe-to-toe with any other powerful country, like Russia?

Both the U.S. and our European allies are in a very weakened state at the moment. (If you don't believe that, think about how we are doing with that ISIS bunch.) We need new leadership and new approaches, and we need them fast.

I agree. If WWIII starts in an abrupt way, there is NO WAY America survives with 0dunga in the WH. Survival is only assured if he is removed from office BEFORE the WWIII bell rings.

0dunga says Islamo-Turkey is right to "defend their airspace". WHAT ABOUT OUR AIRSPACE, Russia violates it every week!

Also, remember that a half hour or so BEFORE the attack on Benghazi Ambassador Stevens had a meeting with a representative of TURKEY? Hmmmm..
