You could probably write a 300 page book on the spiral of Turk-US relations, and how there are too many problems existing.
Just to mention that Flynn has this direct connection back to Erdogan’s son-in-law, and Mueller knows that some kind of money changed hands....is a problem.
The patience of the US when the Turks go after Kurds in Syria....that’s a problem.
The fact that Gulen still walks freely in the US...that’s a problem.
The fact that a Russian-like troll/bot operation is being run by the Turks, and is active toward the US and Germany....that’s a problem.
This fake act of pretending a war situation might exist between Greece and Turkey....that’s a problem.
The last thing you really need at this point is some brief fake war to occur with some Turkish naval ship firing on a couple of Greek fishing vessels, and starting some two-week fake conflict.
The problem is that Erdogan needs all this hyped-up but fraudulent leadership behavior to convince Turks that he’s Reagan-Thatcher-Putin all rolled into one.
Please consider this: if war does break out between two NATO members, Greece and Turkey, what does NATO do? Bonus question: How long can Turkey remain in NATO?
