Turkey didn't "con its way into NATO".  Russia has been playing fuck-fuck games with Turkey since WWI, particularly about the Straits, and ratcheted it up right after WWII.  They were inducted to NATO as part of Truman's Containment policy.

Exactly. They didn't get into NATO through their own strength or by any other positive aspect. They played the victim until they got an ally. Then they have been fucking us ever since. Not on the same scale of fucking as Pakistan, but fucking never the less.

Uhm, no, pretty much every government involved almost immediately decided on war, as a quick and easy fix to a number of problems that had nothing to do with Franz Ferdy.  What they didn't realize was how bad the war was going to be.

Get into NATO by their own strength? Like the Netherlands? How about Luxembourg? Turkey brought into NATO one of the most important strategic areas in the whole world. Through Turkey, NATO controlled the Turkish Straits, Russians access to the Med., and got to stage short and medium range ballistic missiles and bombers in the country to threaten the Soviet Union's southern flank. Well worth their membership, they brought more to the table than a good portion of tiny shitty leftist European countries. Before the last coup in Turkey failed, allowing it to slide more and more toward Islamicic ferver, Turkey was as secular a Muslim majority country could be, a neocon's wet dream.

Yes and no. WWI started after Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia, which made Russia declare war on AH (due to defense treaty). That pulled in Germany on AH's side, and Britain and France on Russia's side (because of more defense treaties). Then others joined the fray as well. Due to the complexities of the various treaties and that everyone was jones'ing for another war (because they all thought they would win it) they all used the treaty obligations as pretext for attacking their strategic enemies.

Actually social justice was the murder and oppression of minorities, and vanquishing of enemies cost millions of lives, and the lack of total vanquishing and oppressive post vanquish rules put in place set the stage for WW2...

Why do people post this crap knowing it's not true?

Erdogan was just this morning talking about how much he regretted what happened and how he wanted to get relations back to normal with Russia. Putin will hold out and pout and make demands. In the end the Turks will have to make an apology and give a million to the pilot's family. Then they'll shake hands and both sides will be more careful in the future. Turkey depends on Russia for their economy, 2nd largest trading partner, plus gas and such. Russia needs the Turks to stop supporting the terrorists. They'll meet in the middle somewhere. It's not nearly the big deal that infowars and other idiots will have you believe.

It is a VERY narrow straight. The thing is, if the russian navy sinks a decent number of turkish ships in the straight, there will be no way they will be able to clear it of mines in any reasonable amount of time. All that uncharted new junk will make it next to impossible to clear them.

There WAS good strategic reasons. We no longer need to worry about the Warsaw Pact. We keep increasing NATO and pushing closer and closer to Russian borders. Russia wants/needs a buffer between it and a hostile NATO. A pro-Russian president of Ukraine is overthrown. I'm surprised that was the last straw actually. If I was a Russian president I say "Remember when you said you weren't going to expand NATO anymore, and then lied" well now we're taking everything back until you all pull back to where you were. And I'd roll everything I had east if I failed I'd launch em all. There is no excuse for our constant bear baiting.

We've got them completely surrounded, and it's not enough. If we would've actually gave them a hand up in the 90s rather than continue kicking them while they were down might have had some powerful cinservative Christian allies with lots of tanks and nukes right now. As it is, we're trying to goad them into taking the Baltics to put some space between them and our armor. One day someone less rational than Putin may be in charge, the Communists may win the next election and take back over everything. Who knows? But we should prepare for our constant poking to come back and bite us as some point.

The Russians have a history of getting a might bit pissy when somebody attempts to get between them and their limited access to warm water.

Russia is just being prudent. They would certainly fuck Turkey's world up if Turkey were not in NATO. But then Turkey would never have shot down that plane if they weren't in NATO.



I keep seeing people post about how Russia will lay the smack down on other countries, but where is the evidence?



Well they have rolled right through a few countries in the last few years. Countries we had defense agreements with yet sat on our hands and watched Putin do it.

Talk about poking a bear! The Russian Bear could squash Turkey in one blow, so they are being awfully foolish to play with fire like this.

No they can't. Turkey is one of the more powerful NATO members on its own. Decent Navy too.

Like how Russia did a devastating blow to Turkey after the plane was shot down?

Oh that's right, that didn't happen, cause Russia is 1 part fail, 2 parts hype, and 3 parts bullshit.

Russia will create some new artificial reefs by the end of the week if this is true. Turkey is playing a stupid game and putting NATO in the middle of it. I hope Nato commanders have informed Turkish commanders that they are on their own if they actively provoke war with Russia as they are doing.

That's only one sixth fail.  They're way more fail than that.
