Shooting jet down was an antagonistic response. As someone said Russia constantly invades airspace (including here in the UK) - Imagine the UK shooting a Russian fighter down - now that would be an issue. This will blow over - no WWIII yet guys.
- Turkey has no ability to win a war and NATO would NEVER back it in its actions - so all it has done is seriously upset it's enemy.fadein11
- Well, given NATO's agreement is "an attack on one Ally shall be considered an attack on all...", I would still be concerned.ETM
- So it depends what Russia wants to do.ETM
- Russia isn't in NATO lol... NATO would not defend this antagonistic action from Turkey.fadein11
- NATO has said they "stand in solidarity with Turkey and support the territorial integrity" of Turkey. http://www.nato.int/…nb
- Look at the keyword in your statemend: "said"... I guarantee they will not do anything. Too much to risk/lose. And Russia knows it.fadein11
- Seriously? I KNOW Russia isn't part of NATO! However if they retaliate against Turkey, see above. Didn't think I had to explain, paint by numbers style.ETM
- Maybe I better anyway:
1 - Russia does a retaliatory action that could be define as an act of war.
2 - NATO states, an attack on one ally is an attack on all.ETM - 3 - So technically Russia attacks all the allies, per NATO agreement itself.
4 - One hopes diplomacy prevails, but it's a crazy world.ETM - And some right-wing U.S. politicians are already saying that if Russia does anything, the U.S. needs to intervene.ETM
- Russia won't do anything and even if they did NATO will not start a war against Russia - it will find a diplomatic solution - just because the NATO agreementfadein11
- states something it doesn't mean they do it lol.fadein11
- lol. fadein11 knows everything about global politics. lol lol lolETM
