"I've shown photos taken from space and from aircraft which clearly demonstrate the scale of the illegal trade in oil and petroleum products," Vladimir Putin told reporters earlier this month on the sidelines of the G-20 summit in Antalya. Putin was of course referencing Islamic State's illicit and highly lucrative oil trade, the ins and outs of which we've documented extensively over the past two weeks:

Hold your breath on that.

Agree!
In other words: He will refuse to admit culpability no matter the evidence presented.
This will be death by a thousand cuts for turkey. Very painful.
Methinks he is counting on parsing.
I’ve read a couple of articles detailing how his son, bilal, is running thr isis oil show. I’m sure if that’s the case erdogan has no idea./sarc
"Worse, if it gets out that the reason the US has refrained from bombing ISIS oil trucks until now is due to the fact that Ankara and Washington had an understanding when it comes to the flow of illicit crude to Cehyan, the American public may just insist on indicting "some folks."
It's most certainly an international conspiracy to fund and support ISIS.
Against the law in every nation...and international institution.
The world has casus belli to overthrow the Turkish regime.
But, as Richard Nixon most famously (and accurately) said: "It's not illegal if the President does it".
The ONLY domestic recourse, besides violent overthrow, is Impeachment and Conviction.
Hussein wishes he were 1/10th the Caliph that Erodgen is.
Will he leave the country if Trump is elected too?
This is a call to action for the Mainstream Enemedia, radical Muslim media and organizations, and Western covert agencies to proactively disinform and discredit sources and evidence.
Do Muslims even believe in “space” ?
More and more, Erdogan sounds like the Current Occupant now squatting in the White Hut, in that territory once known as “the United States of America”.
Prove anything? Neither Erdogan nor the Current Occupant will even acknowledge that any “proof” exists, that is is all an organized smear campaign. If they shout and bluster enough, the opposition will simply back down, and besides, after a few days, it is “old news”, and may be safely discounted.
Notice, he didn’t actually say he would resign, just “I will leave office”. Probably he would just leave his office, say “See? I kept my promise”, and then go right back inside.
“If X happens, I’ll eat my hat!”
One Fedora on Rye, horseradish & Salmon, coming up!
“The world has casus belli to overthrow the Turkish regime.”
We were fully part of the scheme. Obama has literally switched up to the evil side. We are arming al qeida, the people who did 9/11.
This is a treachery that will astonish the world in 200 years when its read about.
Well considering that their Quran tells them that the sun sets in a “murky pond” every night, I don’t see how they could accept the scientific version of things.
Russia is playing a game of chicken with Turkey. Russia will lose because it exports $25 billion to Turkey, but imports only $6 billion. And I thought Pootie Poot pooh-poohed sanctions.
Erdogan will realize it was a terrible mistake to trust Barack Obama!
I bet on Putin having the ‘proof’ and Erdogan refusing to leave.............
That may be true, but Russia’s economy can probably absorb the $25B a whole lot easier than Turkey can the $6B. .....
Russia’s GDP is 2.097 trillion USD ‎(2013)
Turkey’s GDP is only 822.1 billion USD ‎(2013)
