Trying to invoke Article 5 because people shot back during the illegal invasion of a foreign country would tear NATO apart, because not everyone would be willing to declare war on Syria/Russia because the Turks overstepped their bounds.

My baseless prediction is that the united states will claim to have removed all troops from syria, but leave some there secretly

Edit: how do you do think we destabilized the region to start this mess?

psychofishhead posted:reading this thread as a former YPG volunteer is infuriating. if you think a Turkish invasion of Rojava will go as “well” as Afrin, (“going well” in this case is classified as T-FSA occupiers getting constantly merked everyday by Kurdish guerrillas in the minds of this threads posters I guess) you’re a goddamn moron. also US troops stationed there were definitely a positive. I know it’s cool and edgy to portray them all as a roving band of rapists but all they did was hang out in oil fields and deter invasion from a bunch of smaller psychopaths. pretty much every military operation was done by either Kurds or Arabs in one of the myriad militias in the SDF and they’re definitely not a bunch of psycho baby killers.

Article 5 won't apply to Turkey loving around in Syria any more than it applied to the USA when we cowboyed into Iraq for no reason. It was a couple years away from being applied to Ukraine but now, lmao, whoops.

It was a couple years away from being applied to Ukraine but now, lmao, whoops. This is where one should actually clarify that Article 5 considers only the defense of a member state, not any military action undertaken by a member.

Article 5 was invoked after 9/11, which is why we still have so many NATO partners helping us occupy Afghanistan, even if it's only with token forces. And even if the Taliban didn't do 9/11.

Sounds fake, but is also the kind of thing that would get Trump to flippantly change his mind on an issue.

OhFunny posted:Turkey masses troops near Kurdish-held town in northern Syria Wikipedia says there are 512,000 active personal in the Turkish miliatary overall. There was a guest on War Nerd episode 84 I think that compared the Argentine military to the Turkish military. His point was basically that Turkey’s effective conscription force is way smaller than is actually listed, since the conscription period is one year, and a new soldier has to spend a minimum of half that time in basic training. While a military like that isn’t as effective at say, fighting wars, as a volunteer army of a smaller size could be. If your military is also needed to plot a coup every decade or so like the Turkish military, for the people who stay on to become professionals, it good for handing out lots of officer titles. And the money saved on foot soldiers can be spent on lots of toys like tanks and jets that you don’t actually have enough trained personnel to operate.

But guess which Middle East country DOES recognize the Armenian genocide? That's right. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d2/Nations_recognising_the_Armenian_Genocide.svg
