Kurdish attackers are rarely suicide bombers. At the same time, however, Turkey has been busy covertly encouraging ISIS, so it probably wasn’t ISIS either, unless as a false flag operation to give Erdogan an excuse to go after the Kurds. But who knows?

The Sick Man of Europe continues to cause problems.

Are you guys happy that the U.S. is siding with Iran and Russia against Europe?

There will be no Turkish/Russian war. It would be economic suicide.

You need a map. There is more of Russia in Europe than Turkey and the part that Turkey holds in Europe is stolen Christian territory anyways.

Lastly, even though they are Muslims, at least Iranians and Kurds are Indo-European peoples.

See the family tree's branches: The approximate present-day distribution of the Indo-European branches within their homelands of Europe and Asia.

Turkey is a member of NATO. Article 5 NATO Treaty will not be acknowledged if invoked by Turkey. Big long term consequences for this decision by Obummer.

Article 5 does not apply if Turkey starts a fight.

Yup. That is the ticket. The prez, ValJar, will never allow any harm to come to her fellow Shia’a.

That might allude to the expectation of a desired and target effect.
Turkish leaders can have no expectation of a favorable results outside of Turkish citizens.
Therefore this is for diplomatic leverage and domestic chest thumping.
Russia would humiliate them in full scale armed and economic conflict

“at least Iranians and Kurds are Indo-European peoples”
Iow, the Aryan peoples.
As per HG Wells, “The Outline of History”

Correct.
