Ooops Erdogan let the cat out of the bag.
Israel isn’t commenting but Syria says there was an air attack on its territory from Israeli planes firing from Lebanese air space in recent hours.
Both countries don’t like Assad with Israel’s motive being the Iranian connection-Hezbollah.
Israel has said its military actions in Syria are about keeping Hezbollah from getting any weapons like chemical ones that could threaten Israel.
The highly speculative Israeli propaganda-disinformation “Debka” site said this in a story published in recent hours.
“If the Arab media reporting on Israeli air attacks on Syrian military and Hezbollah targets in Damascus from Lebanese air space are confirmed, Jerusalem will be shown to have followed Ankara in backing away from those short-lived understandings, opting instead for an independent policy in its own security interests with regard to Syria.”
Kinda waiting for that. And of course, Obama and Erdogen are BFF. So is this Obama playing games again....sending arms and soldiers to Turkey?? And Turkey will re-route them to Syria??
Erdogan still hopes to make Syria a part of a Turkish dominated Sunni caliphate. The Saudis will support anything that will be a strong barrier to the Shi’ite threat The problem is that neither the Turks, the Saudis or the Americans can control the barbaric Wahhabi inspired Sunni jihadists. Russia will never allow nearby Syria to devolve into a jihadist state. The terrorists who cause havoc in southern Russia and even have struck Moscow would then have a secure base. If Erdogan is serious, he will soon be in a confrontation with Moscow. Doubt he can count on “NATO” or US support in his quest to reestablish a caliphate.
They’re not just asking...
It would be nice to see a Christian Byzantium again.
I highly encourage all Americans to refer to the refer to the city on the Bosphorus occupied by the Turks by its true name. It drives Turks nuts.
There is not much being reported in the news on this issue. Since Turkey is a member of NATO, and Putin has taken a hard line against interference by the West, is there a danger of this becoming a flashpoint. Could NATO be dragged into war with Russia by the Turks?
I haven’t found any updates on the situation.
