Is Erdogan siding with the jihadis? Probably. Who let Turkey into NATO? Broadcast coming in 10 minutes. Will be available for playback after the program is over.
Apparently Turkey and Syria had an internationally accepted agreement but Israel decided it was a threat to Israel.
I know someone who was in Korea when the Turks were there. He said the American compound had high barbed wire fences around it. But the Turks had no fences...the local riff raffle knew better.
Israel needs to learn the lesson better...”you don’t mess with the Turks.”

If the US threatened to end all military, financial and diplomatic support for Israel if it started yet another war -- and if the US clearly meant it -- then Israel would behave itself.
As it is, Israel can start wars wherever it likes, and daddy US will pay the bills, and even do Israel's fighting if need be.
I spent a wonderful week in Turkey before Islamist Erdogan was “president”. Been all over the world and Turkey was my fave country, never had so much fun or saw such interesting ruins before. People in small towns were delighted to see us.
Sorry I can’t reccomend traveling to Turkey any more. Erdogan is dragging it back to the Stone Age, at leact socially.
I knew two Korean vets who said that nobody messed with the Turks.
One said that the Turks would go out at night and collect ears off the gooks.
As for Erdogan, he wont do nothing. He’s making a pile of money off the transportation of oil to the Israelis.
That is..until they kill him. And they will eventually if he keeps it up.
The USA must decide who are the good guys in the Middle East and who are the bad guys. Israel is a good guy but sometimes not but mostly good. The others almost always bad but on rare occasions not bad. That is the reality.
PS
I lived in Oman in the late 70s. It was backward but had oil and I was oilfield. It was good duty. Sultan Quaboos was the ruler and thus supreme. He transformed Oman into a modern nation, after disposing his father. He loved his nation and his one quest was what was best for his nation.He was educated at Sandhurst in England which is like our West Point.
He loved his nation and people.
(LIVE: Israel Prepare STRIKES On Turkish Troops - [Turkey’s ] Erdogan
Sends Weapons To Syria (scheduled to start 5:00 EST))
Now this isn’t it BUT
Ezekiel 38 WILL happen
Turkey WILL be involved
Libya WILL be involved
Iran WILL be involved
Just give it time
Hard to place it in relation to
The 7 Years of ‘Peace and Security’
though but IMHO it happens near the beginning
Time will tell
Truman was President in 1952 when Turkey was allowed to join NATO. They’re not even listed as being part of the North Atlantic region.
Erdogan is in a bad place politically at the moment. I'm not defending him, but this is definitely being driven in part by his poll numbers relative to his opposition, economic issues in Turkey, and the Israel - Syria conflict. I'm very happy we have the people in charge that we do now. This is a critical time.
In the meantime, we have Democrats trying to usher in Communism, rampant fraud - including that perpetrated by the Somalis and their 'supporting' politicians in Minnesota, student reading scores that verify a total failure of the education system and the social system in various places, and anti-white and anti-American sentiment growing - along with anti-Semitism.
All in all, we're in deep do do.
Israel usually ends up fighting on multiple fronts. They’re surrounded.
We did, so we could put nuclear missile bases there, which we then did as well.
Are armies gathering at Megiddo yet?
This is why I’m not worried and don’t care. I already know what’s gonna happen.
Amen
Just keep Preaching the Word of God to the World 🌍🌎🌏

Turkey is NATO’s 2nd strongest military. Israel’s military, outside of air power, is greatly overestimated.
It doesn’t even say “react”.
It says “consider how to be of assistance”
“It’s spelled Turkiye now. Try to keep up please.”
Just like Kiiv, pronounced Keeve which I can’t stand!
Erdogan has long proved himself an untrustworthy "ally" and a general POS, hostile to Israel. If a terrible accident befell him, I would not cry.
Oh just shut the hell up. We don't need to be showered with your antisemitic slobber. I am thoroughly sick of you.
The underage sex trade is inexpensive there, isn't it?
Been all over the world and Turkey was my fave country
Yes, ha ha ha. You sly dog.
Sorry I can’t reccomend traveling to Turkey any more.
The local cops have got on to you, yeah?
Huh! That sounds like the first round of a playoff tournament: Number 9 vs. Number 15. (Note: #9 has nukes!)
