What part of the North Atlantic is Turkey on?
US military will make matters worse. This is internal to Libya - let Egypt and France supply the anti-Turkish forces with means. They will then win.
Erdogan is desperate for a “win” as this year is election year
The Turks are bad ass fighters not surrender monkeys like the French. And Italians are not famous for their fighting ability since the Goths took them down.
This will be a series of naval and aviation battles, not land battles.
The French will kick their asses. Not a big fan of the French, but their navy and air assets (and personnel) are way above whatever the Turks could muster in the eastern Med.
Erdogan is in sore need of a dirt nap. That is the opinion of a pro-American Turkish co-worker.
“Turkey needs to be kicked out of NATO ASAP.”
Like yesterday.
Don’t forget Rachmaninoff. And Tolstoy.
Well, the French Foreign Legion are good fighters, anyway.
“The Turks are bad ass fighters not surrender monkeys like the French.”
I doubt seriously this would involve much of a land war. The Turks can be dogged ground troops, but they suffer from lack of imagination. Turks can be formidable on defense, but on offense they are not that good.
Quite right.
Actually my favorite Russian composers are Rimsky-Korsakov and Shostakovich.
Several things at work. Turkey is trying to shut off the proposed gas pipeline from Israel and Cyprus to Greece and Italy. They have claimed the entire ocean from Turkey to Libya.
And in some ways this is an extension of the war in Syria. In Syria Turkey’s jihadis (Obama’s jihadis) are fighting to take control of Damascus. As they are driven out there, they are being transferred to Libya to fight on there. In both places they are opposed by Russia.
Good one!
However, geographically speaking, both the Mediterranean and Black Seas are extensions of the Atlantic.
If Turkey were to invade Poland from the rear would Greece help
Don’t forget Shafarevich.
To be fair, it was their sorryass political leaders who were the surrender monkeys.
Thanks for responding to my post. I have to admit I was unfamiliar with the great mathematician/Soviet dissident.
Based on what I gleaned from his Wikipedia entry, Igor Shafarevich lived an incredibly full life.
I went to Amazon and read excepts from “The Socialist Phenomenon” and was impressed enough to order a copy of the book.
The popular image of mathematicians is that they’re lost outside their world of numbers.
But just reading the introduction to “The Socialist Phenomenon” was enough to convince me that Shafarevich saw clearly how forcing “equality” upon people isn’t just the rotten fruit of Marxism, but a false doctrine as old as civilization itself.
