He does bluff, though. Turkey, a NATO ally, shot down one of his jets, and he didn't do shit. Talk is cheap. Airstrikes against shitskins with zero air defense is cheap. I've yet to see him make a move against anyone who could actually hit him back.

We'll see. From what I can gather Turkey is about to really provoke Russia and NATO not going to back them up. Seems like they bombed the ever living shit out of their oil supply lines. Watch what happens if Turkish troops cross the border of Syria and get to close to anyone Russian backed.

Its a shame someone like Erdogan was ever put in power in Turkey. Turkey would probably have the best chance out of anyone to provide true peace, and more importantly secularism, to that war torn place.
