#1 We should take Russia's side in this matter.

Why the fook are we allied with Turkey?

#2 I keep thinking about that Russian fighter the Turks shot down a few years back. Not that anyone would hold a grudge...

#3 ^Russians are know for not bearing grudges.

#4 Ah yes. And they don't take a dump without a plan.

#5 The Turks have not only been siding with Russia against us, the Russians have been using them as a big wedge to hammer NATO apart.

Which is why Turkey can be buying their antiaircraft missiles from Russia one second and in a shooting war with them the next. It suits Russia's needs and it suits their Agent Provocateur Vicious Retard Presnident's needs.

#6 I encourage both sides to fight each other.

#7 NATO isn't being "hammered apart by Russians". It's wilting because Europeans themselves can't see any value in it, and don't want to be a jumping-off point for endless wars in the Middle East. I can't say I disagree with them. Why are we still occupying them 75 years after WWII?

Reddit's /r/Europe users can't stop crapping on America and NATO. "Bleah... It just makes me sick. The money they invest in military in USA is just gross."

#8 It suits Russia's needs and it suits their Agent Provocateur Vicious Retard Presnident's needs.

Seriously dumb comment.

#9 How many times do I have to tell you, Herb? We're not in Germany to keep the Russians out, we're in Germany to keep the Germans down.

As for the Turks, if they insist on venturing into places like Syria and Libya where they have no business, they are on their own. I hope they get what they deserve and the Russians will be just the folks to give it to them.

#10 Reddit's r/Europe users say...

"Kmart Reddit sucks, Ray Herb..."

#11 The Germans don't want us there. Neither does anyone else in Europe. The bases don't defend Germany, they just enable fruitless, horribly expensive military adventures.

So what are we, tyrants now? We need to start terror bombing German cities Dresden-style if they don't fall in line?

#12 The Russkies and Turks are traditional enemies. I've always wondered how long they can pretend to ally.

#13 More pass-thru platitudes, erb?

#14 Another meaningless comment that neither addressed nor refuted anything I said.

When you argue, you have to take what the other speaker said, and attempt to make the opposite case. Back up your arguments by citing sources! You'll notice I frequently do that. It's a good habit!

#15 Please... please don't... NO! Anything but
the PYRAMID! Not THAT!!

#16 The more you people keep making personal insults and silly jokes instead of making arguments, the more I'm going to keep pointing out the pyramid of debate.
