I don't know if you sarcastically put "absolutely" or you actually agree with that retard's post.
If you do though, you're an equal retard.
Hey, be civil. Calling my name doesn't make you more than a retard.
Turkey...and Turkey alone...is the entire Eastern front of Europe against Russia. Turkey is the most powerful nation of Eastern-Central Europe with a massive military, hundreds of modern fighter jets, a huge modern naval fleet, a near trillion dollar economy, 80 million population, and a decently big territory with mountains, lakes, and so on.
It would be VERY hard for Russians to invade and just run-over Turkey. It is literally impossible. Turkey will protect eastern flank before West/US can mobilize.
Without Turkey, Russians will just swim through Eastern European plains crushing punny, irrelevant countries like Hungry, Romania, and even Poland etc. There's barely any geographic barriers to slow down Russian advance--forget about any formidable military.
So, the idea that NATO won't do anything if Russia attacks Turkey is merely a brain fart.
1. any country, Turkey or not, is a walk in a park for the US, China and Russia, if any of the latter 3 really wants to attack it without thinking any consequences whatsoever (e.g. pollution, Geneva convention, civilian casualties, etc) .
Turkey's AF F-16 can't even beat air forces of the South Korea or Japan, and they think they are someone who can face Russia?
If Russia wants to start WW3, even without nukes, the Ruskies can bomb Turkey into the stone age in no time:
Turkish F-16s can handle Su 27s, Mig 29s, Su 30s, Su 35s; S 300 , S 400...?
Does Turkey even have a decent long range air defence?
Or maybe the Turks are actually a secret sat/space weapon super power? tell me about it.
just to randomly name one, have you heard of Eskandar tactical missile ?
let alone all other Russian cruise missiles, all sorts of precision-strike weapons, stealth and otherwise...
Without air defence, all the tanks of Turkey army would become practice targets for hundres of armed-to-the-teeth Russian HELOS, and all the ground fixed assets would become practice targets of Russian bombers, cruise missiles, mid and long range missiles, and Russian long-mid range artilleries which ranks arguablely #2 most powerful in the world after China.
we are not even talking about Russian surface warships and SBNs, far larger Russia ground army force, biochemical warfare forces, special warfare forces, Ruskie hacker army, or strategic weapons. and so on...
If Russia wants to take Turkey off the map without thinking of any consequences, Turkey would not fare much better than Irak of the Gulf Wars.
2. you must be dreaming that the US or NATO will fight Russia risking a full out nuclear war for the sake of Turkey, NATO common defence treaty or not. NATO could fight for Turkey against any opponent, except when the said opponent is Russia or China. Then all bets are off, you are on your own!
