Indeed, Turkey is not a nation that sits by and takes any crap willingly. It sounds like they are within their right to retaliate. Syria has already tested their patience on a couple of occasions now. But still, I hope it doesnt blow out of proportion.

I hope so too. As Turkey is NATO member (atleast in theory) conflict between Syria and Turkey would also be conflict between Syria and UK, Syria and USA and so on. Something I would like to avoid.

Militarily speaking, Turkey is quite a force to be reckoned with, I dont suppose they will even need to request any U.N assistance all that desperately.

I'd be inclined to agree with Ju-88, Turkey is quite a formidable force on its own, and whilst it's bombing Syria it's not looking at Greece or Cyprus. I think it knows not to expect any help from NATO, but since Russia and China will be trying to put UN motions in place to sanction Turkey I'd wager that the UK and US will be quick to veto them, so Turkey knows we have their back in the UN, which is...well...where it matter least I guess. :haha:

It's certainly an interesting escalation...question is, will Iran decide to up the ante in its support to Syria if the Turkish go 'all in'?

EDIT: There's also a third point to this that many people have not touched on. The Kurds. Since the war has been raging in Syria, the Kurds have been quietly fortifying their areas, hoping that when the dust settles they can create their own autonomous region. This is an anathema to the Turks, and they would have to move in to disperse any Kurdish gathering in order to prevent arms shipments and organisation across the border. Just as they did in Iraq during the invasion. So, there's that...
