Turkish President Recep Erdogan has stated that a ground operation is needed to stop the group, no doubt if I.S try and push into Turkey then NATO would be obliged to put boots on the ground so to speak. Could see a major escalation of military involvement in the next week or so.

Nato and it's allies are playing it crafty, IS has captured a lot of arms and ammunition but it will only last so long, rifles need bullets, tanks need shells and lots of petrol, their supply lines are slowly being cut off, their new recruits are fanatical but of poor fighting ability more like suicide squads, people have dared to start deserting
Don't get me wrong i'm not saying they are not a potent force at the moment but they are at the peak of their powers now, unless they find a new way of being supplied with heavy weapons it will be a slow decline back to being a guerrilla group
Yes a fearsome one, it's one of the largest and best trained and equipped in NATO, they have a huge airforce and a good navy as well, they are trained to a very high standard and like a good scrap!BlueBearBoots said:Don't turkey have their own army?
