USA will never risk anything with Russia over Turkey, never.
Russian's "natural" area of influence is now entire Middle East (not including Israel) and Central Asia. For Russians that area is now what is Latin America to United States, and to be sure of that, Russia will have to get rid off Turkey as relevant player in that area, with all means, it will happen, either with arming Kurds outside and inside of Turkey, either with Diplomacy and Embargo (along with Iran) or all this togethar, or..., war.
Nevermind Turkey is great military power, it is no match for Russia, not to mention with all Russian allies around Turkey, I don't expect Russians to attack Turkey directly, that is like the last measure, but it will be attacked indirectly in next decade, just wait and see.
And this is not just EU excuse now, this what happened in Turkey is alibi for Russia as well.
And if you think USA will risk ANYTHING over Turkey when it comes about Russia, you're wrong there friend.
