A coup in Turkey before any attack on Iran ??

[Jan Klimkowski]

Debkafile claims:

DEBKfile's intelligence sources do not doubt that Russian placed the top-of-the line air defense systems in Abkhazia for intercepting flights taking off from the American bases in Bulgaria and Romania and heading east over Georgia and Azerbaijan and on to the Caspian and Black Seas to northern Iran.
Byt deploying the S-300s, Moscow has put paid to any plans Israel may have had for using this northern route for attacking Iran.
The deployment was also a message of reassurance from Moscow to Tehran: Although Russia is withholding the advanced S-300 interceptors from Iran it has its own methods for blocking an American or Israel raid on the Islamic Republic's nuclear facilities.

Putting the usual qualifiers about Debka's psyops status to one side, this is still strange logic.

It assumes that Russia would be prepared to strike at US and/or Israeli flights tasked to attack Iran.

If Russia attacked US planes or helicopters, then we'd be looking at WW3.

If Russia attacked Israeli planes or helicopters, then we still might be looking at WW3.

I suspect Putin would allow an apocalypse to occur in Iran before Russia engaged in direct and open conflict with the US.
