I don ' t get it . He uses a bow anf arrow to do this ? <| sep |> I think Russia would go to war with turkey under these EXTREMELY UNLIKELY circumstances if turkey massively escalates due to Syrian gov strikes on the TFSA by fully invading Syria in an attempt to overthrow the government . Which would mean turkey would have to use overwhelming force to defeat the RussianSyrian ADN and air force in Syria which would mean the death or capture of the entire Russian Syria forcesinking of several Russian naval vessels . after which Russia would likely reply with massive missile strikes on Turkish military infrastructure , then would evolve from there . ANY other situation I see a diplomatic resolution to , most likely with turkey backing down in the face of the threat of Russian action against their forces in Syriadenying their air force use of Syrian airspace . nato would not apply in this scenario due to turkey being the likely aggressor , as I ' ve stated else where I doubt Russia will make any aggressive action vs turkey unless forced to . I do believe Russia will defend it ' s ally Syria to the fullest of it ' s abilities because otherwise Russian alliances would no longer mean anything in Geopolitics .
