    Default Re: Syria

    when it was threatened by aggression Russia is not "aggressing" Turkey, that the flaw of your argument. It was not a Turkish plane that was sot-down by a Russian plane. It is not Russian troops that might cross Syrian border against the will of the recognised government. The lands Turkey want to invade were never part of Modern Turkey (unlike Sevastopol was part of Russia before Communist dictator Khrushchev gave it to his wife, oops, sorry Ukraine). And Turkey even claimed they want to fight the populations who are there...

    “refuse transit from merchant ships belonging to countries at war with Turkey.” So, Turkey would have to declare war on Russia to do so legally. At the moment when Russia and USA signed a cease fire on Syria… Tsk tsk tsk, I don’t think USA will allow that…
    Especially, if I have to believe the news (cease-fire Feb-27), Russia and USA Air Force will now work together and finally share maps…
    Mmmm, that leave Recepo Erdoglini little options to attack now. Will he take the narrow window and take the risk to be left alone on a potential low level war against Russia/Assad/Kurds?

    blocking the way of entrance with the ships” No offence but the Ukrainian army/navy was not match for Russia. Russia is more than a match for Turkey, especially with Turkey behaviour. So, what if the Russian boats bloke the Turkish boats blocking their boats? That will look like Istanbul roads, traffic jam…

    "You did, sarge", said Polly." You said you were in few last stands."
