The idea is to avoid a nuclear war.
When one side determines that their interests are so vital and that the other side has been so sinister: war in Iraq, Libya, and now Syria, that the other powers that be( Russia and China) has to step in and STOP IT!
Remember Russia and China were conned over Libya
Apparently they don’t intend for that to happen again
You see it’s not about whose right or wrong in this instance, it’s about who has gone too far
And its clear the US and NATO have gone too far
Riiiiiiight.
The guy saying "I'll totally nuke you in the event of a conventional threat" isn't the one who's "gone too far" in this scenario.
I should've brought my Putin bobble head to work today, dammit. Nobody ever tells me when we're going to bow down to him on ATS.
So America can get away with destroying millions of Iraqi children and now they are about to start on the Syrian children
And what can stop that ?
PUTIN
God bless him!

Boy you sure tried to cram a lot of words into my mouth, didn't you?
We get it. You loooove Putin. You've made that perfectly clear.
Nuclear response to a conventional threat is not "reasonable" by any definition of the word. Whether it's Putin saying it or Obama or Merkel or anybody else.

Actually its all about oil and blocking it from flowing from Iraq to the west. If Putin loses his buddy in Syria, the western governments can bring the oil through and put Russia out of business.
Its not about getting a tan while mopping the deck of a battleship in the Mediterranean.
Hillary, compared to all of those guys is Joan of Arc

I think the US and the allies have clearly told Turkey that they will not back them in their obvious and ridiculous hard shoulder to Russia, or am I wrong, did the world take a turn while I was asleep?

You are wrong. US distance itself from Turkey publically, to plan further vicious assults using Turkey 'Crazy Erdogan' as pre text to escalation.
You are not easy to influence, are you?

You think they cant do that now? They could easily just run from Iraq to Turkey or thru Jordan and Israel.
This is a HOLY WAR, the sooner everyone figures that out, the better off they will be. Just like all the fools who said we were stealing Iraq's oil back in 2003, it is not about OIL as the first thing Bush did was force Iraq back into Opec. Today Turkey is stealing Iraq's oil with their ISIS thugs.

But this is serious stuff folks for the US to let some tin pot dictator out of Turkey to involve the world in a NUCLEAR war Putin is threatening.
The Pentagon is very much aware of the tremendous heavy metal Russia may unleash if provoked to the limit by someone like Erdogan. Let’s roll out an abridged list.
Russia can use the mighty SS-18 – which NATO codenames “Satan”; each “Satan” carries 10 warheads, with a yield of 750 to 1000 kilotons each, enough to destroy an area the size of New York state.
The Topol M ICBM is the world’s fastest missile at 21 Mach (16,000 miles an hour); against it, there’s no defense. Launched from Moscow, it hits New York City in 18 minutes, and L.A. in 22.8 minutes.

Bottom line folks it appears the US has gotten the message finally that Putin is putin( pun intended) an end to this BS going on in Syria and is ready to back it up!
Putin is making Syria another Cuba and won’t allow the US to do to it as it did to Saddam and Khadafy and is willing to go the extreme route to protect Syria.
Russian submarines – as well as Chinese submarines – are able to launch offshore the US, striking coastal targets within a minute. Chinese submarines have surfaced next to US aircraft carriers undetected, and Russian submarines can do the same
