Syria is about to be an even bigger clusterphuk than it already is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syria is about to be an even bigger clusterphuk than it already is. You've already got two dozen different groups fighting each other in Syria. I don't think a Turkish invasion is making things any worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think a Turkish invasion is making things any worse. Somehow I have a feeling a lot of the weapons being used in Syria can be traced back to the CIA annex in benghazi that Obama and clinton wanted everyone to forget about. Its a giant mess I can't even keep track anymore who's fighting who in Syria. Of fun ISIS is also most likely in possession of some Ir-192 which can be used to make a dirty bomb according to a new report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC Tom Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Unless they invoke Article 5. Individual countries don't invoke Article 5. NATO invokes it after determining that an attack on a member meets the treaty terms. Yes, I know Turkey talks about invoking Article 5. They can "invoke" it all they want; until the NATO ministers gather and decide that yes, an attack meets the appropriate criteria, it's not invoked.

It just seems like there is so much that can go horribly wrong here and quickly spiral out of control. Russia keeps deploying more forces and weapons systems, we are doing what're us and/or the CIA are doing. The Iranians and Saudis want a piece of the action and Turkey is itching for a fight. I just don't see any realistic chance for a good outcome with all these different and opposed forces being in the same theater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't see any realistic chance for a good outcome with all these different and opposed forces being in the same theater. The CIA's doing what the CIA's supposed to do: gathering intelligence. And the Iranians and Saudis already have a piece of the action (frankly, I'm far more worried about them going at it across the Persian Gulf than in Syria.) Iran provides the ground component for the Russian intervention (they even have an integrated command structure). The Saudis are up to their usual Saudi tricks of "fund everyone but look like we're sitting on the sidelines." And Turkey's not so much "itching" for a fight as much as they've been fighting there for something like 20 years, between the water rights and PKK.
