Lmao, you dipshit Russia isn't going to actually attack turkey. They will just exterminate the Turkmen in Syria and funnel weapons and cash to the Kurds. Again, RUSSIA HAS NOT ATTACKED TURKEY AT ALL. Any insinuation that they have is an assumption about future events that simply have not happened. This is why I don't get this shit about war war war, Russia literally hasn't done anything but see its plane get shot down, and here you morons are talking about collective defence?

Get a grip. Even the Russians aren't dumb enough to blatantly get into a war with a regional military power. Only Americans are dumb enough to think like that.

Or China. Basically, if the US ends up in the shit with another major power I would like to contribute to the extent of my abilities (which are, sadly, with each passing year a bit more limited). But I'm very smart so I'm sure they could find use for me somewhere. I truly and deeply hope we do not go too war though, as my brother would be in even more danger than he already is on a consistent basis.

It's interesting that these guys have such a contradictory view of Putin. A KGB-trained sociopath who has systematically exploited Russian nationalism, also stupid enough to attack Turkey because of a downed plane, which is a pretty standard international incident.

If you haven't figured it out yet, Dylan, Russia did this for the benefit of it's domestic population. His war in Syria will now be more popular, and he'll have a freer hand committing more and more resources to his various defense pet projects.

I swear to God, sometimes I wonder about you guys.
