Erdogan is a crooked idiot. Personally, i think the turkish people should not have to pay for the corruption of their crooked government...
And yet Putin's Russia is worse. Putin presides over an increasingly authoritarian regime that is constraining civil liberties and press freedoms.
Corruption Index - Turkey 66/168 and Russia worse at 119/168
Press Freedom Index - Turkey 149/180 and Russia worse at 152/180
Economist Intel Unit's Democracy Index - Turkey 97 and Russia worse at 132

Erdogan is busy propping up terrorists with one hand, while attempting genocide on the Norther Kurds with the other.

Ah, the old "Turkey supports terrorists" position, much promoted by the Russian controlled media. Big on the message, but short on the evidence and facts.

The fact that Turkey is a frequent victim of terrorism is often ignored.

Yawn. We are in a circle here. Happy to review the evidence that Turkey are supporting terrorists. Please, but not from the Russian propaganda machine, or YouTube, and such.
Let's also not confuse the words here, in that anyone who fights Assad is a terrorist. Undoubtedly Turkey supports groups that are anti-Assad. Russia also supported the Ukrainian separatists, but that did not make Russia a supporter of terrorists, so let's also be consistent.

That's a very disturbing picture and one that should worry a lot of people unless its a posed one with a borrowed flag.
I am tempted to say what ever will Hilary Think?
Asselborn also stressed that Article 5 can only be invoked when a member state is clearly attacked.
A German diplomat echoed Asselborn's stance and said:
'We are not going to pay the price for a war started by the Turks.'

I hate NATO with passion.
Did you guys know they murdered two Serbian diplomats in Libya recently?
Over 10,000 Serbs was protesting in Belgrade on the weekend. Our traitor Prime Minister Vučić has been offered some deal, nevermind that NATO murdered over 500 Serbs and supports Kosovo independence... completely disgusting. This is why we protested, for against corrupt NATO control.
To speak truth, I am kinda surprised that they are not supporting Turkey... I guess even they realise it is stupid to provoke Russia like this.
Turkey provoked Russia, and murdered Russians. Turkey murdered Western journalists, Jacqueline Sutton, Serena Shim, even NATO must now know that Turkey is the belligerent, and war with Russia will involve not only Russia herself
