FLASH: Turkish tanks at ISIS controlled border - VIDEO
Kurdish Question ^ | 09/25/14 | staff

Posted on 09/25/2014 6:06:03 AM PDT by winoneforthegipper

Kurdish news channel MED-NUCE has received footage of Turkish tanks and armoured vehicles crossing into Syria through the ISIS controlled border crossing of Karakamis, Jarablus.

The video, published today by MED-NUCE (also embedded at the bottom of this page), clearly shows large military lorries carrying tanks and armoured vehicles into Syria through a border crossing that has been under the control of ISIS for some time now. The Karakamis border crossing near Jarablus falls right between the Rojava cantons of Kobane and Afrin; it is 45km to the West of Kobane where the Kurds have been resisting against an ISIS onslaught in which tanks and armoured vehicles have been heavily deployed.

It would not surprise me terribly were to Turkey to enter this war on the side of ISIS. Their goals are similar. The Turks are more methodical and even modern about their methods though the modernity is a veneer over basic Mohammedan attitudes but it will hold for a while. If the Turks were to enter with ISIS it would be to participate in the establishment of the caliphate beyond the current ISIS assertion of a caliphate and then the supplanting or ISIS and putting the caliphate in Istanbul, where they think it belongs. A caliphate in Istanbul would be controlled by the Turkish ruler. 110 years ago that was the sultan. Erdogan is morphing gradually into a more traditional Turkish ruler.

Why do people still think that the Sultan in Washington is miscalculation? It seems to be the common opinion that the man is a Mohammedan. If he is than he has not yet miscalculated because things are going his way like a river.

Will US `Warthogs’ attack a NATO member’s armor?
This could get interesting, in a Chinese sense, fast.
Obama, laughing, spreads his wings ...

Wow...interesting thought. I believe if it’s true their armor is going across, they’re just heading down to set up a buffer zone for the refugees, since they’d prefer to have them back on the Syria side instead of on Turkish territory. Not the wild scenario you describe. They’ve set up buffer zones many times in the past and this is the most likely scenario.

Bingo. But there’s more, Remember Turkey was the other end of the weapons rat line that began in Benghazi and was managed by Chris Stevens. The weapons were shipped from Benghazi to Turkey then transported to ISIS camps in Turkey and Syria. I think what is going on is a kind of false flag operation. To wit, Erdogan is Obama’s best buddy in the ME, He and Obama are using ISIS as a proxy force that will be used, eventually, to give the Muslim Brotherhood a state to run from which they can manage their global terror network with all the trappings and privileges that a recognized state has. Erdogan is MB, as proven by him allowing the terrorists bosses and financiers to leave Qatar and set up operations in Turkey. Obama is an evil man, there can be no doubt about that and he is doing all he can to help the MB create their caliphate. That was the dream from his father.

I believe that is the Talha APC. Designed and produced in Pakistan. It is basically a cheap knockoff of the M-113-A2 according to Wiki.

No, no, no. Obama and Erdogan are cooperating, but the way they are operating is such that Obama looks like he is bombing ISIS, in reality, according to Col. Ralph Peters, all these bombs are not killing any terrorists, only breaking windows. Their end game is to establish a home country, a caliphate, from where the Muslim Brotherhood can continue their jihad against the west.

I wonder if there’s any chance Obama will ever be implicated in the creation of ISIS and as an accessory to the murders they’ve committed.

Not unless the Repubs sweep to power in the Senate and win in 2016 with a conservative firebrand (Cruz) who will blow the whistle on his treason. If it is a Romney or a Bush I or Bush II moderate clone then there is no way that any of it will become public. Their first inclination would be to help their fellow club members avoid embarrassment and any charges because, they would say, it would not be good to put the US through that kind of stress and that it would not be good for the body politic. Remember their first goal is to help their fellow club member and to go along to get along and avoid and political conflict, even if it is a democrat/traitor, sorry for the redundancy. It’s kind of like the same reasons Nixon would not challenge the results of the 1960 election, even though there was plenty of evidence of voter fraud in Louisiana, Illinois and Texas, the states that ultimately made the difference in that razor thin election.

I am not convinced at all this will happen. I don’t think Erdogan is ready for it yet, but I am sure such plans are on file in case an irresistible opportunity should present itself. Alternatively the Turks could attack ISIS but would not do it overwhelmingly. I think they might rather push ISIS gradually into a corner then take over the ISIS project while proclaiming themselves the protectors of the Moslem World. Ultimately Turkey is probably the only Moslem entity that could take on Iran in the future and that particular rivalry goes back some centuries.

Either way, it looks like I’m gonna have to scratch visiting Istanbul off my bucket list. Shame...I really wanted to do that.

(That’s the truth...already given up on seeing the Pyramids.)
