Turkish pilots killed by Assad, not crash

[soopaman2]

So, lets play hypotheticals. Sorta a political math equation of sorts.

Turkey Retaliates, crushes Assad, since they are Americas BFF...A point which will be made.

Equals!
Automatically Americas fault! (as it always is)


Someone eventually blames Obama for doing or not doing.

I hope Turkey curb stomps them, they use our equipment, and are well trained. A more tolerant society, barring the thing in 1919, and the denial of it, I prefer them over Pakistan.

I save myself from a long essay and just say this: Turkey is not your ally anymore, you should have noted that since several years by now. And it is turning "fundamentalist".

On the other hand, the US calls Saudi Arabia a friend, too, so why should I be surprised.

They even call Pakistan a friend, while running a drone bombing campaign at the same time.

So many words, so little meaning. Hopeless.

Yeah no one likes us. It is what it is. Nothing a mere citizen can change. I would rather give my money to Greece, than Pakistan!

But them whacking Assad would still save alot of others the eventual trouble.

There is a lot of speculation on this issue but I doubt the truth will ever be fully known.

Not that I trust Russia either...especially when it has interests/base in the area.
