Why would the US help Israel fight against a NATO member?

They wouldn't. Nor would they, or NATO, help Turkey. NATO will make moves to bring the conflict to an end peacefully, probably via threatening intense sanctions. You would see economic moves from the United States towards Israel, for example, mostly dealing with military equipment and the cutting of it off. You would also see moves towards Turkey.
But NATO will not support either side, nor will individual nations.

If USA does it, its prestige around the world will be shaken and they can't act like '' gendarme of the world '' anymore because nobody will trust them. And NATO will come to end of course.

They don't have to support Turkey but they can find a different solution than supporting one of the sides.

That is, if Israel and Turkey even went to war in the first place, which still doesn't seem likely to me.

I told him but he doesn't get it, you win by making the other guy die, not by dying yourself.


It's bravely, man. Strategy is going dying in order to stop enemy forces for a while while waiting for armed forces to come.

Besides, war is not won in internet. Turkish army is full of brave soldiers who can die immediately if their commander orders.


Because truly, wars are won by commanders ordering their soldiers to die.

You know, I've been observing this thread from a distance, and some people have been making good points. Whereas your points generally go something like "RAWR TURKEY IS BEST." So please explain something to me.

How the hell is Turkey supposed to use its apparently overwhelmingly superior military against Israel? Keeping in mind that the Israeli Air Force, no matter what you think of their national policy, is widely accepted as one of the best in the world. And keeping in mind that Turkey has no land borders with Israel. So assuming that some country lets Turkey move troops through it to get to Israel (doubtful), and assuming that said advance doesn't lead them directly to the Golan (ask the Syrians how much fun it is to attack that position), they're still fighting at the end of a very long supply line while the Israelis are quiet literally next to their homes.

Moreover, everyone seems to discount the Israeli Navy. I know they don't get much lovin on these kinds of forums because everyone is focused on their army and air force, but it isn't exactly a force to be sneezed at. I admit I know virtually nothing about the Turkish Navy, but I'm not sure how a navy with no aircraft carriers will defeat the IAF.

So by all means, please explain how these problems will be solved, ideally without jingoistic bullshit.


As for the topic itself, I highly doubt that the countries will go to war. Neither wants it, and the national sentiment in Israel is so anti-government right now that I think any tough talk from Bibi regarding Turkey will result in some bad juju all around. Besides, Israel isn't dumb enough to attack a NATO country, and Turkey isn't dumb enough to attack a country that is backed so heavily by the U.S.

Not an effective strategy at all, especially in the type of war we are discussing.

Worst strategy ever.
O'er the hills and o'er the main.
Through Flanders, Portugal and Spain.

^This.

Turkey is saber rattling. It doesn't want a war. This is all a big show to get Israel to pay out some money, the end.

Though Turkey may regret its eagerness for a pissing contest, now with Israel extending interest in Greece and (rumors say) the Kurds. I will laugh if in the end this earns Turkey a Kurdish uprising funded by Israel.

Yep because a failed amphibious invasion by British forces is exactly what any Israeli-Turk War would look like. :roll:

The Gallipoli campaign was doomed from the start, largely due to Allied fault, not Turkish tactical brilliance.

As soon as you win a war it's a glorious victory, but when you lose it's the fault of the allies you put your faith behind?

We've won against Allied Forces tearing up the treaty they made us sign because we lost in WW1 and sending them away from our lands .

Are you ignorant ? We didn't lose the war militarily, we *ucked up the British forces and made them leave Canakkale and Istanbul and that's ENOUGH !
