Sounds like Turkey may be playing with the proverbial fire…that might engulf us all if (elsewhere noted) a**holes like Senator (sic) John McCain have their imperialistic-colonialistic-warmongering way in Syria and other locales. Cui bono? — I aver Zionism, as it manipulates and overtly and covertly foments all this turmoil via its Zionist-neocon network of thieves [Palestine] and criminally psychotic demons. Connect the dots….

The people of Turkey want a secular, sovereign and democratic society and a classless national military to defend its sovereignty, integrity, cultures and constitution. But the superficial appearance of such is provided by the CIA through Turkish Gladio which achieves deep state control over the entire society by coordinating and empowering mobsters, banksters, corrupt officials, fascist militarist patriarchs and theocratic wahhabist saudi qatari funded wedging sectarianism in the catspaw operation of Turkey to achieve US neocon geopolitical priorities. For the USA / NATO, Turkey is a military base useful primarily for decoying and containing Russia and for operating deniable mercenary / terrorist insurgencies against the remaining secular, democratic, non-aligned and shiite nation states. Ultimately when Turkey has served its purposes it will itself be disolved into a loose federation and fractured into ethnic and sectarian satraps with Istanbul becoming a NATO dependency. Turkey will have functioned to create middle east lebensraum for colonial theocratic wahhabiism and zionism after which the USA will also have served the purpose for which it was long diverted. M\\

So plain to see, and so like the Crimean war in which France, the UK, and the Ottomans united to fight Russia with the Ottoman empire eventually carved up by France and the UK.
