Turkey activates article 4 of Nato
2020-02-28

Article 4
The Parties will consult together whenever, in the opinion of any of them, the territorial integrity, political independence or security of any of the Parties is threatened.

When you invade another country, it's tough spit if somebody shoots back. Erdogan's cynicism is awe-inspiring.

#11  Turkey needs to be kicked out of NATO. They have proven themselves under Erdogan to be no friend of the West, further, attacking another country then crying because they struck back can hardly be considered a valid reason to invoke article 4.

#10  I told Erdogan that the Turks and Russkies were traditional enemies, but did he listen? Nooooo!

#9  Turkey and Syria sure seem to be heading toward full scale war. Saw some reports that Turk UAVs destroyed around 100 Syrian armored vehicles/artillery overnight. Also attacking infantry.

#7  You were the aggressor in Syria. You got punched in the face for it.

Tough luck, old man.

#5  That only applies to members of NATO, Turkey left on it's own by making deals with Russia. Call Putin for help.

territorial integrity? Nope
political independence? Ha ha ha
security? You've got it backwards, Yipster. Your "security" is your neighbors' (and other nations' insecurity.

#1  Your guys were on someone else's turf? (Not sure whose, but not yours.) Not defense. Too bad, so sad, Yipyip. You want the Turkish empire sultanate back, spend your own blood and treasure.
