Turks are not Arabs. This could get very, very ugly.
The Arabs have been so fervently anti-American and anti-Israel for the last 50 years, that I doubt the current generation has any hostile thoughts concerning the Ottoman Empire.
I presume that the Islamists in Turkey long for the return of that Empire, centered on a new caliphate in Istanbul.
FREE CONSTANTINOPLE NOW!!!!
I don’t know if they still have it, but Turkey used to have the world’s largest mechanized army during the cold war.
I used to win this question at trivia all the time.
Their only problem was that most of it was WWII vintage equipment, but these guys were still able to keep it running and guns are guns back then.
If this is the same army they have, Israel would slaughter them if they attacked.
Somewhere in the way-back machine of my mind, I seem to remember reading that the Palistinians actually came from Turkey. Does anyone else remember that?
Turkey is trying to reinstate the Ottoman Empire on a volunteer basis by getting to Arab states to look to Turkey as a military savior from Israel.
The Islamists have taken over Turkey and are using Islam as a reunifying cry. The Palastinians mean nothing to most Turks, they are only a way to stick a thorn in Israel and highlight the growing anti-semantic feeling in Europe, and elsewhere.
The fact that Turkey has not been already booted from NATO is telling as they are playing with fire that will eventually burn someone. They have betrayed us & the West and why that remain in NATO can only be to destabilize the Western powers.
As the West continues to kiss Islamic ass, and reward them for hating us, this will continue to be a problem, as almost the whole Western Civilization is on the verge of a mighty economic collapse, which will probably trigger the start of a war of us from Islam both within and out.
As our economies continue to weaken, we will not have the money to assist Israel and protect ourselves, as we increasingly pull back home. The fact that a large fifth-column of illegals and Islam is already here will mean even that will not help.
Illegals here will continue to destroy us from within as well as pandering to them and every other PC notion of surrender. Its going to be a bumpy ride folks. October is here and the stock market is weak as well as most of the world economies. The Euro is practically dead and is only going by kiting future checks to create fake money to try to stem the flow. It will fail to achieve this goal eventually annd the dominoes will fall.
