ISIS on the offensive in Iraq

[Husar]

Turkey has the second largest standing army in NATO.

Larger than all EU countries together?

Sorry Husar - our army is in a pretty bad way too, our armour has been even more ground down that yours.

If you need to stop the Red Flood may I suggest the Greeks?

I'm sure they're only too happy to help fellow Europeans.

Back when you were serious about defending the Fulda Gap you had over two thousand tanks - now you have a tenth of that.

That was my point, most of these tanks are still in service in EU countries: Spain, Poland, Sweden, Greece...
Add to that the British tanks, the Italian ones, the French Leclercs, the Polish Twardys and you're seriously going to argue that attacking the EU is easier than Turkey? Or did you just forget how we started this argument? We didn't even get to the Air Forces and other assets yet...

Turkey has a massive tank force, yes they have many older tanks but the spearhead are the Leopard II and Leopard I tanks in that order. Russia doesn't have a huge number of modern tanks either, remember, the majority of their tanks are still T-80s.

These T-80s can take on all of these Turkish tanks, especially upgraded T-80s that are more modern than pretty much all the active tanks Turkey has.

Add to that the fact that Anatolia is one of the worst places to invade in the world and you rapidly conclude it's not worth it for the Russians, it would require a general mobalisation and I don't think Russia can afford that financially or domestically.

I never said they're going to invade, I said it's strange how people used to say Putin is coming for Europe and now even Turkey is too much for him...
