A Trump/Putin team with a strong western Europe leader COULD destroy islamic state in months. Who that western Europe could be I don't know.Who actually benefits from confrontation between Russia and NATO?If America was smart they would dump Turkey from NATO and invite Russia and face islamic state together. The cold war is over and we need to act like it.Warning! Erdogan is crazy and NATO can easily become a hostage of his crazy actions!
“Turkey is facing a multifaceted catastrophe,” said Gokhan Bacik, professor of international relations at Ankara’s Ipek University. “This is a country that has often had problems in the past, but the scale of what is happening now is beyond Turkey’s capacity for digestion.”
“Erdogan has mismanaged foreign policy because of hubris,” Barkey said. “He was overconfident in 2010 that Turkey was the darling of the world, and that went to his head. There are setbacks that are not of his doing, but how he managed those setbacks are his doing.”
“For Turkey,” he added, “there is no good scenario from now on.”

Russia? Not really. NATO? Not really.
The correct answer is: world terrorism does!
So, you're right, Fury, it's time to stop making NATO/Russia uncomfortable and think together how to make the terrorists uncomfortable. Everywhere in the world.
Lucy Hamilton Got anybody?
Not assisting ISIS with weapons and stuff would help a lot too. Why there are sanctions on Russia, but no sanctions on Turkey?
Exactly!
