Turkey attacks Syria

[mcnoch]

I know that the New Military Forum mainly focus' on GLobal Warming, political debates and gold-prices, but from time to time some military stuff happens in the world.

In retailation of another incident in which Syrian military has killed with artillery fire people on Turkish soil, the Turkey military has started militoary operations against Syria. Prime target were the artillery system and units which were responsible for the attack that killed five persons in Turkey.

NATO is ready to defend Turkey. At the moment plans are set into motion to improve the defense possibilities. The NATO gen.-sec. said that NATO has to intentions to attack Syria, but will defend Turkey against further attacks.

Actions by Turkey could solve a lot of problems over there. Should they chose to occupy Syria, there would be no fear of the Muslim Brotherhood slipping into the vacuum.

An ideal situation would be for Turkey to take a hunk of Syria and the Kurds to take the rest. (Peace in our time….what?)

I would support military intervention against Syria. And, yes, Matthias, sometimes the Military Forum does discuss military issues.
