Basically, Turkey and Russia military could clash head-on in Syria, and it escalates into a full-scale war. Since Turkey is a member of Nato, U.S. and Nato would be pulled in.

I thought the deal was that if a NATO country is invaded, the others will defend it. If a NATO country invades someone else, there's no obligation to get involved.

Not saying the idiot in charge won't let his ego take over and side with Turkey.

NATO isn’t required to defend a belligerent member and if they do, they’ll pay a steep price for it.

Only if a complete idiot is president.
