Turkey, and other countries bordering Syria must now fight to protect their own. This would include not only their own citizens and all within their borders, but would also include ANY and ALL "neighboring" citizens within the borders of Syria who are fighting terrorists and a regime targeting them for genocidal purposes. These citizens are fighting for their right to "LIVE" and to live in PEACE, and must be protected at all costs through humanitarian and military intervention. I so admonish Russia who has NO RIGHT WHATSOEVER to dictate who may assist the Syrian people in their fight for life. It is a poor reflection of Russia in terms of humanity to take that opinion and role.
