I expect Turkey to become the next Iran.
Turkey wanted to take over Iraq and Syria, as much as he could get of each. If he wins the Referendum April 16th the Middle East is in big trouble.
There is a lot happening behind the scenes in Syria right now. Soon, probably in 2-3 weeks, the final assault on Raqqa will begin. It will not be easy, but ISIS will be defeated. Now, it is not like they are setting and waiting. Not at all. Each day the SDF is still taking villages and preparing. Much activity.
Turkey is much more dangerous than Iran.
Worse. Turkey is part of NATO.
“I expect Turkey to become the next Iran.”
If that’s the case, they need to be removed from NATO and cut off from spare parts for their American-build combat aircraft. And any future military hardware orders cancelled.
Doubt it. Two entirely different branches of Islam. The vast majority of the world’s Muslims are Sunni. Shia are limited geographically. Unlike Shia Islam, Sunni Islam is expansionist and is behind almost 100% of terrorism in he West. Iran and Shia almost none. I know neo-cons and their handlers work hard to push he counterfactual narrative, but it’s total BS.
