Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Wednesday that Israel must withdraw its forces from Syria or it will cause “unfavorable outcomes for everyone.”

“The aggressive actions of the forces attacking Syrian territory, Israel, in particular, must come to an end as soon as possible,” he said during a meeting of his party in Ankara.

“Everyone should take their hands off Syria and we, along with our Syrian brothers, will crush the heads of Islamic State, the YPG and other terrorist organizations in a short time.”

Israel completely rejects the Turkish president’s statement.

The aggressive imperialist actor in Syria (as well as in northern Cyprus, Libya, and other areas in the Middle East) is Turkey itself, and it is advisable for the Turkish president to avoid unnecessary threats.

The State of Israel will continue to act to protect its borders from any threat.

Ezekiel 38 WILL come. Despite the doubters.

BUT Libya WILL be involved. Expect to hear from Libya as things approach.

Erdogan has been something else for quite awhile now. But his people in Syria ..... boy things changed rapidly in Syria.

Erdogan is seeking world wide attention for his massive ego.

He may end up with a silenced .22 lodged in his cranium.

Turkey (1) is not the government of Syria, and (2) cannot dictate anything to Israel.

Turkey’s actions fall in line with that of a former Ottoman Empire grasping desperately to be an empire again.

Funny, where are all the Mainstream media reporting from inside Syria showing the Turks killing Kurds and others? Where are the Turk atrocities and GENOCIDE since 1974’s North Cypriot invasion?
The Turkish leader has many enemies and they will eventually topple him like Assad in Syria.

They are a much bigger threat than Russia.

My fear though, is with Russia’s Muslim population, they will eventually wind up being Turkey’s “Junior Partner”.

John Kerry served in Viet Nam. You don’t have to ask him. He’ll tell you.

To quote John Kerry I say ‘bring it on’.

Turkey mostly exists through Russian trade. Once Erdogan annoys Putin enough it will be all over. Remember the jet incident in 2015. Putin has crashed the Turkish economy in retaliation until Erdogan crawled to him of his knees.
Regarding Syria, the US and Israel manipulated Turkey to take Aleppo to try to provoke a conflict between Turkey on one side, Iran and Russia on another. Why do you think Iran and Russia refused to bite?

But if Russia does weaken, Turkey will take advantage. That’s why we have to be careful with Russia.

If history has taught us anything, it’s that one baddie always replaces another.

Why should Russia weaken? It haven’t been stronger in 40 years.

I hope and pray Israel tells Erdogan to “frig off”!! It needs to be brought into the light the efforts of Erdogan to create a rift in NATO.

Maybe it is time for Erdogan to “retire”!!
