Russia doing WHAT ????
Engage Turkey and/or Israel? You must be on drugs, a moron or a SEAR.
Let me explain to you WHY Russia won't do anything.Firstly, because their involvment will get US involved, and any war between Russia and US is either
conventional or nuclear.If it is nuclear, it is game over for EVERYONE.
If it is conventional, Russia will NEED to fight on 5 (FIVE) fronts :
-Middle East front, spanning from Syria to Iran
-Russian west border, against NATO east front
-Arctic front, against Canada, Norway and US
-west border front against US (Alaska borders)
And the WORST front from them : the INSIDE TERROR war - terror atacks in Moscow and many other cities, war in Chechnya, war in Georgia, war in
Tadjikistan, etc.
Admitedly, Russia can do FINE in any of the above fronts, but on ALL OF THEM almost simultaneously? No fcking way.
And I am not even including how will China, India, Pakistan, NK, and SK will react to a NATO-Russia war.
So, this is why Russia will stop ONLY at words...unless they are suicidal, because they LOSE BADLY on conventional war OR everyone, including them,
lose on nuclear war.
