Iran is sending aid to Qatar. There are some interesting alliances forming.

President Trump gave them the word, get ready. Your ars may be grass and no matter what Turkey thinks, they can be crushed by ISIS. See what happens when President Trump told them you might not have us to save your ars. This may be the beginning of a global war.

Erdogan Calls On U.S. to Arrest or Extradite Fethullah Gulen

President Recep Tayyip Erdogan called on the United States to arrest or extradite Fethullah Gulen, a political rival and Muslim cleric living in self-exile in Pennsylvania.

Mr. Erdogan has accused Mr. Gulen of being behind the coup attempt, a charge Mr. Gulen denies.

“I call on the United States and President Barack Obama,” Mr. Erdogan said, addressing hundreds of supporters in Istanbul late Saturday.

“Dear Mr. President: I told you this before. Either arrest Fethullah Gulen or return him to Turkey. You didn’t listen. I call on you again, after there was a coup attempt. Extradite this man in Pennsylvania to Turkey. If we are strategic partners or model partners, do what is necessary.”

Mr. Erdogan’s Turkey has been a reliable American ally and partner in the fight against the Islamic State. On Saturday, President Obama reiterated the United States’s “unwavering support for the democratically elected, civilian government of Turkey,” according to a statement. Secretary of State John Kerry said the United States would be willing to listen to any Turkish inquiries about Mr. Gulen.

In an interview on Saturday from Saylorsburg, Pa. that a Times reporter streamed on Facebook Live, Mr. Gulen again said he was not involved in the coup, but did not know whether his followers were.

“I don’t even know who my followers are,” he said through an interpreter. “Since I don’t know these individuals, I cannot speak to the potential involvement in the attempt.”

“ there are currently 94 Turkish personnel there”

Base was established to counter Iran.
Obama’s dealings with Iran made Qatar, and all the GCC, feel unsure of US support against Iran.

New alignment is forming:

Sunni block #1: US, Saudis, UAE, Israel, Egypt.

Sunni block #2: Turkey, Azeris, Qatar, AQ/Muslim brotherhood.

I assume Hamas is in #2 too.

Wow.

[BeauBo]

I guess this struggle will push/pull Qatar and Turkey either to side with the West, or against it - no more playing both sides.

Qatar is first.

[Sam Gamgee]

I'm no fan of the Saudis but if the Turks are ramping up the war with our large trading partner, should be just maybe consider kicking Turkey out of NATO?

[Rockitz]

Get Turkey the F’ out of NATO! Yesterday!

[ClayinVA]

Really about to kick off if the Turks come in.

[ZULU]

Hmm. Now which set of total lunatics should we be supporting? The Hamas backing, Turkish backed, Iranian Qatar, or the beheading, flogging, sword wielding Wahhabi nuts from Saudi Arabia and the other gulf states?

Decisions, decisions.
