Oh, and I am not saying what happened to the Russian pilot and his family is laughable. I’m saying that the idea Turkey on its own could stand up to Russia is laughable.
The idea that Russia is going to initiate military action against Turkey is laughable.
You are correct, Russia would turn Turkey into a large and stinky greasy spot in short order.
Without air power Turkey is easy pickings, Putin can sit on the southern border and declare a no-fly zone over most of Turkey using several S-400 batteries. Turkey can’t take out the S-400 batteries...they don’t have the tech for it.
I’d like to see a reborn Constantinople!
I’d like to see the Turks suffer as they made the Armenians suffer!
FU Erdogan!
