If Turkey and Syria went to war who would win?

[Obama lover]

I've been reading new reports that Turkey is firing into Syria and I'm wondering if they did go to war who exactly would win.

Well you see with Syria's military power being split in half it wouldn't be anything close to match for Turkey's well trained army. The FSA would take advantage of the situation and cooperate with Turkey meaning the end of Assad. If Turkey keeps the Syrian airforce busy the FSA would dominate on the ground.

But that's only if Iran doesn't decide to attack Turkey, which would lead to NATO getting involved on Turkey's side and Russia/China joining Iran's side. In the end WW3.

in short time , maybe winner is Turkey. in long time westerners are the real winner.
Turkish people don't support a war with Syria . It is their slogan "No to imperialists"
Turkey and Iran+Russia relationship will be terrible.
Syria will be divided into 3 parts and after Turkey , Iran , Iraq , .... will also be splitted.

A small middle east where westerners can steal oil without any resistance to fix their own economy ! A new era of slavery for middle eastern people !
Hell yeah ! It is oil empire.

well Turkey would win but the Turks have made it clear they do not want to go in war with Syria (the Turkish government is in a different world) and actually want to help them "hands of Syria" is a sign i read.

People tie the Arab spring to things: do not like, they fear, or they have interest in. Arab spring is where normal Arab people rebelled against corruption, discrimination, opportunistic, living under slavery of dictators and their families and relatives. Arab spring has nothing to do with the outside world or others outside the Arab states except oppositions living in exile/s. The Arab spring has nothing to do with religions and religious issues. Arabs, for the first time, were able through the web such as facebook and Twitter to organize large demonstrations against Dictators.

• First : (TUNISIA)
Arab Spring started in Tunisia:

• Last : (SYRIA)
Because of the extreme fear and intimidation Syrians lived with for 42 years. Under the same illegal, racial, criminal, most ugly regime in the world. The last Arab state that joined the Arab spring was Syria.
The last uprising against this regime was in the 1982. Where the last Illegal president Hafez Assad and his brother killed 40.000 Syrians to appease them and destroyed the city of Hamah.

Google : Hamah city,

The current uprising started In the Syrian city of Dara’a on the border with Jordan. Where some kids, influenced by the TV’s news of the Arab spring in other Arab states, wrote things on a wall where the kids were forcefully taken from their parents, imprisoned, tortured, their nails were taken of, and at the beginning refused to free them under any circumstances. As a result their parents rebelled and some of them were shot died by the regime. This resulted the uprising to start and escalate in many other areas of Syria.
For many months, the regime as used to in the last 42 years, used extreme force, torture, and direct killing against peaceful protestors and accused them of all kind of bad accusations and telling the world that they have been fighting terrorists. The same way did in the last 42 years of tutoring under the lie that they were fighting Israel and America. Anybody opposed that lie was taken, tortured, considered traitor and executed. They banned the international media from entering Syria and converted it into a large prison. All that resulted in the escape of soldiers with their arms from the army and established small armed groups to protect civilians. Later, armed struggle against the regime started after months of daily killing of civilians and no help of any kind from outside Syria.

Now over 30.000 were killed, 100s of thousands in prisons, women have been raped by the regime, Kids and babies have been slaughtered, millions fled the country, cities have been destroyed by most sophisticated arms. The Syrian regime even, have been bullying, harassing, and threatening Syrians and/or others around the world who opposed. Unfortunately, still there is nobody really helping to stop the massacres until now.

Al-Ba’ath party has 2 branches, one ruling Syria under Al-Assad and the other was ruling Iraq under Saddam Husain with the same ideology and ideas.

The Syrian story started with the father (Hafez Assad) who came from the poor Alawis village (Qardaha) on the Syrian coast. He wanted to study medicine but he couldn’t because he was too poor. He went to the military school and later he and his colleagues in Al-Ba’ath party illegally and forcefully overthrew the government and took over the power in Syria. Then, Assad imprisoned those colleagues until they died in prisons and controlled Syria alone with his family and made Syria the only Apartheid Arab state. Alawis from Qardaha and other Alawis villages invaded the Syrian cities like Locusts and controlled all kind of high positions in Syria. The way they speak has a tune and some special words and this distinguished them. Syrians feared them to death whenever they are because they know that they are above the law. Directly after Hafez Assad passed away, the constitution was altered and his son Bashar inherited illegally the presidency of Syria and the regime remained the same. Now, Al-Assad family and cousins and relatives control absolutely everything in Syria, and they became one of the richest worldwide and that is one reason why they do not want to leave power.
The other reason is that they are Alawis, a religious group who follow the Shia (Iran) in Islam; and that why Iran is unconditionally supporting them. Iran has been helping the regime by influencing Russia and china in the UN, supplying the regime with arms and skillful Iranian soldiers. Recently, Iranian official said that the victory of Assad is the victory of Iran.

Nobody is assisting the Syrians. (Assad = Hitler)'s regime has been taking advantage of the careless and reluctant Arab and international situation and has been dropping TNT barrels on civilians and committing genocide. The current Holocaust is going on in Syria.

Depends--- Alone or with allies?

Turkey is in NATO and any threat to one of it's member is a threat to all of them. If Syria and Turkey were to battle, NATO would surely get involved and that could be disastrous. Allies of Syria could be Iran, Venezuela, Russia, China, and Lebanon (Hezbollah). Syria would most likely be supported indirectly though through proxy since getting involved directly would lead to WW3. The Syrian army is better trained than we would have guessed though and I wouldn't underestimate them.
