At this point, of course, we don't know really if this is true, but the fact is it could be very easily.
Both Turkey and Russia are ancient enemies, and have fought each other multiple times in the past.
That's one reason Turkey is a member of NATO, and why we have the duty under treaty to come to their aid if attacked. Sound like fun yet?
I'm sure that Obama will be very reluctant to enforce freedom of Navigation...which the Chinese practiced while he was in Alaska re-naming Mt. McKinley.
ReplyDeleteYep better keep taxing the American worker, so we can keep those sea lanes open otherwise how would we import more cheap crap while we export jobs. Make blue collar Americans pay for their own destruction.
ReplyDeleteIf Turkey attacks Russia, NATO has no obligation to get involved. The US should pull out of NATO, should have happened 25 years ago.
