RT ^ | June 23, 2016

Former Canadian model Hanna Bohman gave up a glamorous life of photo shoots to join Kurdish troops in their fight Islamic State in Syria. She told RT that the biggest problem is Turkey supporting the terrorists.

“Turkey supports ISIS [IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL]. We know it firsthand. It doesn’t seem to get a lot of press coverage in the West – and it’s a shame because it’s better to deal with the problem now than wait until it gets big and almost out of control in the future,” Bohman, 47, also known as Tiger Sun, told RT.

“Right now the biggest problem isn’t so much as ISIS, it’s Turkey supporting ISIS”, she noted, adding that “Erdogan wants to create an Islamic state - he wants to be the sultan.”

This was an interesting find while researching Erdogan, and a lot easier to look at.

That’s the thing....they ALL want to be Grand Caliph.

Which gives one hope that they might all kill each other off before they get around to us.

But so does Obama- no doubt. In any case it is very possible that Turkey will end up Full on Isis with US nuclear weapons. All part of Obama’s plan.

Including Obama, but I believe he has plans of doing an end run around Erdogan, via the UN or NATO.

Erdogan is not an ally of the United States, nor an even particularly reliable member of NATO.

The dream of a reconstituted Caliphate on the order of the Ottoman Empire burns brightly in the hearts of bearded men with blazing eyes. If they set to fighting among themselves as to just who should assume the office, that would be one thing, but so far they have used surrogates for this battle, and that involves a LOT more people, few if any of whom have a dog in the fight.

Not surprised. Mr. Obama is trying to leave a mess for Mr. Trump to have to deal with.

Walid Shoebat has an interesting post about how muslims are interpreting this event in light of islamic prophecies. It is important to keep in mind how muslims see it.

It’s the 2nd largest military in NATO. Time for them to be ejected from NATO, in my opinion. This coup was a sham contrived entirely by him.

Boot Turkey out of NATO, then give full support to the Kurds, and make it known through back channels that we will not get in Russia’s way should they put Turkey in it’s place.

I’d suggest cooperation between the US, Russia, the Kurds, the Armenians and the Greeks.

Tayyip Erdogan, our Islamic-supremacist, jihad-supporting NATO “ally,” who — if we may borrow a phrase from a good friend of his — has “fundamentally transformed” Turkey from a Western-leaning democracy to a suffocating sharia state...
As previously noted here, Erdogan is one of the pioneers of the Muslim Brotherhood–crafted “integrate but don’t assimilate” strategy for overrunning Europe and, in time, the United States. The plan urges Muslims to relocate to the West but maintain Islamic mores while pressuring the home governments to accommodate sharia (Islamic law). A few years back, Erdogan gave a speech to a throng of Muslim migrants in Cologne, decrying Western pressure on Muslims to assimilate in their new European homelands as “a crime against humanity.” His goal is to transport repressive Islamic standards to the West, where they will snuff out free speech and other liberties inconvenient to tyrants. The game-plan is working to a fare-thee-well, feeding the explosion of Islamic enclaves that gradually assert their autonomy from Western governance while serving as incubators of jihadist radicalization.
