Russia need only *immobilize* the Turkish Air Force. That would do nicely ...

what difference would that make, even if terggish soldiers were fighting with spears they would still defeat you.


How are you going to defeat nukes with spears? If Putin wanted he could make you all evaporate.

The embargo on sales of agriculture products to Russia is placed by Russia and not by EU. Paphitis is just talking crap as always and then you say "Very True" while being equally clueless ;)

As if we are worried about Russian Embargoes! :lol:

We introduced the embargoes because of Ukraine and MH17. But let's say the Russians did! Who cares really! We just know not to trade with the Russians because there are plenty of others to trade with so who needs them? Now the Turks shot down a Russian Aircraft. Put an embargo on Turkey! I mean do you really think anyone cares? 8)

The coalition wants an embargo between Russia and Turkey. The Australians, Dutch and Germans would be egging Turkey on! 8)

Well, the spears are what your 300,000 imported burly Anatolian settlers will be carrying for you, but why station 40,000 Turkish-NUTTY troops to keep hold of a tiny island like Cyprus if you were so unafraid of us?

We care: Cyprus hopes to end Russian embargo and the Turks care as well. Just ending tourism from Russia to Turkey and redirecting most of them to Greece and Cyprus can have a significant impact (positive for us, negative for the Turks)

A Turkish pilot made a very stupid mistake and now Turkey will pay a heavy price for this stupidity.

The question now is when and what exactly…

:lol: :lol: :lol:


Brace yourselves Turks... :)

I'm laughing at your would be exports, Turkey has a huge trade volume with the Russians, importing billions of dollars worth of gas. ohh Russian and Turkey a

The vested interests of both Russia and Turkey are too interwind, whilst I expect a reaction I think the Russian retaliation will not be direct but rather by proxy.

Don't you think the best way for Russia to avoid turning this into a NATO-conflict is to hit Turkey in the occupied regions of Cyprus?

NATO cannot say a thing, then. :)
