Turkey should not be protecting ISIS.
Or anyone else, especially America...obuma, go back to Kenya....
Speculation around here for a long time was (1)Turkey, the US, and Saudi Arabia actually support and enable ISIS and (2)Turkey being in NATO could get NATO in a war not just fighting Assad, but fighting the Kurds.
It is not fun when the US, it just might be, is part of the Axis of Evil.
Yes...and NATO should have kicked out Turkey for supporting ISIS, attacking the Kurds, Armenians, etc. But they didn’t. So now, are the pussified Euros going to jeopardize their failing welfare states with unstable resources in the winter to go up against Vlad who could shut the gas valve?
Turks do not much like the Russians, anyway, considering the common border that once existed between Turkey and the Soviet Union (since Georgia broke away from the old Soviet Union, there is no longer a common border), and Turkey’s control of the Bosporus from the Black Sea to the Mediterranean.
The Islamic rulers of Turkey are really in FAVOR of a Caliphate being reestablished, as they think they can take control of it, and rebuild the old Ottoman Empire, this time doing it right. So darned right Turkey is an ally of ISIS.
There are a lot of issues, but this just might tip the balance to the sort of armed truce between Russia and Turkey.
