[garg_bharat]

Russia is embarrassing herself day by day,world is still waiting to see the retaliation against Turks (which will never come) while Russian fanboys always high on fake bravado of Putin a low level dictator at best.

US is years ahead in terms of Military prowess both China and Russia combined.They still have to make anything comparable to F 22,which is a decade ahead true 5th gen fighter.

Turks are already humiliated as its agents in Syria are being killed by hundreds everyday.

Russia does not need invasion of turkey. All it needs is defeating Turkish plans in Syria.

Putin's master plan is to make Kurds envelope the northern border of Syria. Once successful, the salafi will get boxed in and will face very heavy attrition.

Syrian Kurds have opened a defacto embassy in Moscow, which gives legitimacy to rojava. Remember sultan erdogan calls these same people terrorists. What bigger humiliation is needed.

Yes, Russians & Syrians need to start supporting/supplying Kurdish Forces in their fight against Turkey. That will teach Turkey what it feels like to have "rebels" attacking you.

Poland to join fight vs Islamic State in return for NATO help against Russia

"Poland has joined the actions, which are now so crucial, on NATO's southern flank," Macierewicz told reporters.

Poland will join the fight against Islamic State, its defence minister said on Wednesday, though he signalled that the scale of its involvement would depend on NATO's response to Russia's renewed assertiveness on the alliance's eastern flank.

The announcement, made by Defence Minister Antoni Macierewicz after a meeting with US Defense Secretary Ash Carter in Brussels, confirmed an earlier Reuters report that Poland would boost its Middle East involvement in an attempt to convince its allies to shift NATO forces eastwards.

"Poland has joined the actions, which are now so crucial, on NATO's southern flank," Macierewicz told reporters. "When it comes to details ... we will continue to discuss it, particularly as we consider it in the broad context of NATO's situation, hoping that both the US and NATO as a whole will back Poland and other countries on the eastern flank with their ... permanent presence."

Alarmed by Russia's annexation of Ukraine's Crimea peninsula in 2014 and its support for armed separatists in eastern Ukraine, Poland hopes NATO will agree at a summit in Warsaw in July to send more troops to former communist eastern Europe.

NATO agreed on Wednesday its boldest steps yet to deter Russia from any attack in the Baltics or elsewhere in eastern Europe, setting out ways to rapidly deploy air, naval and ground forces without resorting to Cold War-era military bases.

The United States and its allies are bombing Islamic State targets in Syria and Iraq, where the militant group occupies swathes of territory.

Poland's contribution to the campaign against Islamic State could involve reconnaissance and training, Macierewicz said.

Poland is itching to get destroyed.

If Poland thinks it can create some sort of empire on the back of NATO, it is delusional.

It is more likely that Poland will lose its wealth and relevance both.

Brashness of the kind that Poland shows today is a recipe for disaster.

The crutches you depend on can disappear any time. I suspect that the behavior of east European countries will break NATO sooner than later.
