Agreed.
Your initial post was lacking IMO. Simply saying that the "government are liars" has become a phrase that means feck all on here these days, it's a
call sign for nothing better to say except "I'm not a sheep", it's empty rhetoric IMO.
Of course Turkey is acting in it's own interests. NATO or not, Turkey is going to see it's own objectives as paramount with regards to ISIS and the
Kurds.
What irks me is when people speculate that somehow the US is behind everything in these affairs, these people are usually Americans themselves,
they're wrong IMO, Turkey takes orders from no one, they're strongly defiant but also trying to placate the international community.
The politics of this region are complex and archaic, and when your average 'conspiracy' Joe weighs in with his five cents it's usually with catch
phrases and, lest I repeat myself
rhetoric, so please forgive me for misjudging you.
