With the recent events in the Middle East concerning Russia and Turkey, the President has reassured Turkey of our continuing support through NATO.
For those of us who don't know, NATO, or the North Atlantic Treaty Organization was created during the Cold War to counter the Soviet Union's Warsaw Pact bloc.
What do you guys think about this support of Turkey? They are a NATO member, and one of our closest allies in the region. On the other hand, the Cold War is over, and the Soviet Union is no more. Should we stand behind a government that is not afraid to violently provoke Russia?
Thoughts?

You raise a good point if we should continue to support turkey. I believe we should even though Russia is a powerhouse we should support one of our closest allies. I believe we can work on things with Russia and hopefully can become allies with them as well. But it is tough to tell with Putin at the reigns. It is a shame that war and unrest is a thing that we have come to be to comfortable with .
