Erdogan the Islamist is not happy with how the Middle East is divided over the Qatar and Turkish support of the Muslim Brotherhood and other issues.
I think this incident is in Iraq, just past the Turkish Border.
Am trying to pinpoint exactly the spot and think the time zones are about 8 hours ahead of my CDT in the US.
Turkey has a presence in Iraq, on pretense of helping eliminate ISIS. In my opinion, Turks never plan on leaving Iraq. Erdogan and Barzani (Kurd leader in Iraq) have had close business relationships. This will be a problem.
We really need 5o throw Turkey out of NATO.
I am beyond tired of Turkey’s antics.
Turkey invaded Iraq is really what happened.
Thanks for posting. You and I share an intense dislike of Erdogen. Brought a smile to me yesterday when I read his reaction to two of his thugs being charged yesterday.
You can quit abusing the Breaking News sidebar.
Now.
Turkiye might well be using the general violence and confusion there to actually invade and conquer the Kurdish areas. Turkiye is a formal Ally of the USA which makes a proper response difficult. That relationship needs to be declared formally ended. If the US were to do that, it would make it would be a boost for the anti immigration/invasion parties in Europe.
Time to send an ambassador to Kurdistan. Where’s their capital?
The Kurds are a politically divided group. All groups want at least recognition, some want a completely independent nation. Turkey is taking lethal advantage of the Kurd’s political differences. This “modern battle” has been going on since at least the mid 1990s.
Erdogan needs anothjer bloody nose, a bad one. He is going to keep pushing until he is stopped.
