To Paphitis with my compliments.

Well that is the USA talking.
Yes the USA is completely capable of doing this if it wants to, and it is currently doing this to China. I don't think Turkey is any match.
If the Deep State wants to do damage to Turkey, then it will do damage to turkey. Deep State and Trump are 2 different things.
It can start with placing an arms embargo or if not that, preventing the delivery of F-35 aircraft.
I think it is very early days yet. You can't expect the USA to do anything immediately. That's not how things work. The USA has to consult with a number of other allies, NATO members, and the EU itself and bring the matter before the Security Council and see if Pootin vetoes to see who is backing them.
You just don't go half cocked in things like this. You do not send in USA or allied troops against Turkish Troops at a mere whim or on emotion.
Maybe there has been some collusion and the POTUS is eye balls deep in it as well. You do not know what is going on behind the scenes.
Maybe there is a Russian Play being made to separate Turkey from NATO so that Russia can weaken or splinter the alliance. In which case the USA has to tread carefully. It is very easy form you to talk shit from your computer but do you really have all the information?
