ISIS oil was marketed by Erdogan’s son, which to me tells the whole story. Turkey was ISIS’s safe rear zone, and it was where they brought their wounded for treatment.
but they a NATO ally!!!!
They can do no wrong to some on here :)
“ISIS oil was marketed by Erdogan’s son, which to me tells the whole story. Turkey was ISIS’s safe rear zone, and it was where they brought their wounded for treatment.”
In my opinion, Erdogan is a viper from the same snake pit as these other cutthroats. He just wears a tie rather than a tablecloth/headscarf.
No matter WHO OWNS the oil, Turkey will ALWAYS be the route to market the oil because it has the infra-structure to do so. ISIS or Kurds do not.
“ISIS oil was marketed by Erdogan’s son, which to me tells the whole story.

All fighters, money and logistics flowed through Turkey,
Without Turkey there could never have been an ISIS. The very first night Obama said he was going to start air strikes, Erdogan piped up and said not from our turf. Why would he care unless Erdogan was ISIS?
Remember when ISIS lost Kobane(sp?) Everyone stood on the border with Turkey to watch the show. Turkey never lifted a finger to stop ISIS.
The problem with Turkey is being a NATO country. Russia has craved an alliance with Turkey for over a century for free warm water port access to the Med and the rest of the Atlantic.
NATO and the West turned a blind eye to Turkey so as not to push them into the willing arms of Russian influence.
