They still won't mess with turkey again while we are there. And Assad is genocidal maniac your support of Russia when our own troops could be in harms way is astounding, are you sure you are not a member of daesh? Assad is bad and daesh is bad. Incredible how you would wish harm on our troops. Now turkey has done shady things especially to the Kurds. If Russia wants to really get into it then they have their chance.How exactly? Turkey is a NATO member. We have assets in Turkey. If they retaliate, our F15C models will be in the fight. And I have seen Russian aircraft. They can't compete and we would wipe them out of the sky. I doubt any Russian pilot would willing go against an F15, we have 80x the training their pilots do, with reliable systems. They would try to launch 8 aircraft per day but only 1 or 2 would make the sortie. We would launch every single one of ours with limited equipment for repairs. Nope Russia is not going to do anything but saber rattle.If it had been one of OUR jets, we would expect a significant response. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I side with Russia on this one.
Oh Russia will respond, count on it
Russia is pounding that area as you drone on.
Oh sweet Lord. Assad will always be better than the Muslim Brotherhood who dominate the "so called opposition".
Turkey should be thrown out of NATO for supplying arms and money to al Nusra let alone buying fucking ISIS oil. Helping ISIS and al Nusra in the smuggling out of Syria and Iraq antiquities. They let their border be porous for years so jihadists could come and go as they please.
Turkey has been bombing the shit out of the Kurds that have fighting ISIS for heaven's sake.
And that's the beginning of a long list of issues with Turkey.
Erdogan is the genocidal maniac along with the other countries who have been attempting to overthrow Assad to hand the country over to the Sunnis. And we're right in the thick of it.
There never was an Arab Spring. This is a trumped up civil war. There are no moderate rebels. It's all smoke and mirrors.
Assad is no angel, but hells bells he's better than ISIS or al Nusra (AQ in Syria) or FSA who work with both of them.
And last but not least, we have no freaking business trying to overthrow Assad.
