inb4 “Russia is attacking our nato allies and Trump follows Putin’s orders reeeeeee”
In the ktedxvvgybbnvxetiijnmkiklop region of sdrrybvdswwwdbnkjuopllmmmmmmm vvbiknvff in Armenia
god will avenge the cries of the saints
turkey can attack people and not get nato involved but turkey can't be attacked and nato not get involved
so turkey can't have war declared on it but it can declare war
if turkey attacks first article 5 isnt in play
and ceases to be an option
turkey by sending in troops and fighter jets has made its bed
russia is simply waiting for turkey to realy fuck up in that regard
but the russians are there and ready to go
good
im sure the russians know where every turkish naval ship is in black sea right now
and the usa is bugging out of turkey
along with the brits and every other nato member that uses incirk
Likely some chances to play the Turkish Lira with all of this going on before the media has picked it up
if you live in turkey you wana gtfo of there if i was you
its not that
its more like now that US takes a backseat in the world stage
this has nothing to do with american politics
stuff is up for grabs
it does have to do with it in the sense that noninterventionism leaves many chances for various players
In the southeastern direction, the enemy launched a tank attack, but faced resistance
it has a slight bit to do with the americans
the american's choice to stay out of it
america has stayed out of quite a few wars over the years
wars that were started due to power vacuums left by US wars
zero foresight the last 20 years
for isntance we rarely got involved in african wars
*Overtly
i can with 100% confidence say that we didnt get involved in rodesia
other than some mercs might have been american citezens
The public doesn't have the stomach to see American men killed in combat to settle regional disputes. And the MIC has realized there is much more money to be gained by selling arms and providing training than open combat. Better to let locally trained militias fight until you're out of office and let the next admin handle it.
wouldnt it just be a generally better thing to train your side to fight rather than let your own troops die for your sides fight?
That's the point of buying the required percentage into NATO, you share that cost instead of dedicating over 40% of your budget to training to fight. Most of these countries have barely stable economies, much less the excess GDP that goes to building these weapons systems.
we are training ukranian soilders does that mean we are fighting a war against russia?
Not in the sense that we have kids getting called up from small town Kansas for the purpose of clearing villages for an unpopular minority rule government in some foreign corner of the world, no.
Russia has military bases in Armenia.
yes
the usa had one in azerbajan at one time but i dont think we use it anymore
it was mostly for war on terror stuff after 911
