When did I ever excuse that? This thread is about ISIS and Turkey OIL. I can't cover every atrocity that exists in ONE title.
Or do you expect me to?
No, I just couldn't help but notice that even when a link to that thread has been posted to this thread you still seem to have nothing to say about it there.
Its not only Turkey but they seem to be the main place its happening Raqqa's Rockefellers: How Islamic State Oil Flows to Israel www.informationclearinghouse.info...
IS oil production in Syria is focused on the Conoco and al-Taim oil fields, west and northwest of Deir Ezzor, while in Iraq the group uses al-Najma and al-Qayara fields near Mosul. A number of smaller fields in both Iraq and Syria are used by the group for local energy needs.
According to estimates based on the number of oil tankers that leave Iraq, in addition to al-Araby's sources in the Turkish town of Sirnak on the border with Iraq, through which smuggled oil transits, IS is producing an average of 30,000 barrels a day from the Iraqi and Syrian oil fields it controls.

But ISIS oil trucks roving in to Turkey IS worthy of discussion, is it not? Isn't it worthy of a "Qui Bono" line of questioning?

You mean to tell me, that footage showing ISIS walking right up to border guards in Turkey and having a casual chat, it just normal procedure?
That Erdogan has no clue?
Its not only Turkey but they seem to be the main place its happening Raqqa's Rockefellers: How Islamic State Oil Flows to Israel
IS sells Iraqi and Syrian oil for a very low price to Kurdish and Turkish smuggling networks and mafias, who label it and sell it on as barrels from the Kurdistan Regional Government.
It is then most frequently transported from Turkey to Israel, via knowing or unknowing middlemen, according to al-Araby's investigation.
The Islamic State group has told al-Araby that it did not intentionally sell oil to Israel, blaming agents along the route to international markets.
Oil also finds its way into Iraq, Iran, Jordan and other places, including to the Assad regime.
However, understanding the layers of criminality and corruption at all levels, and across the confused mayhem that is Syria today,
To be fair, it's impossible for a head of state to know exactly what every state employee is doing.

The big de is that Ergodan literally just said he would resign if proof is shown Turkey supports ISIS oil trade. Then the next day this. Add that to as you said months of this and... Wow Ergodan. Way to prove yourself a farce.
I heard that bit, too. I also heard he wouldn't abdicate if his face was smeared with oil.
They got NATO backing them and the profit margin is too big to turn down.
Its how the west has bought him off.

Turkey can say lots of stuff, that is not taken at the border, the silos are not oil (one would think oil tanks blow if they are hit, pretty tame reaction on those Russian videos), and so on.
Erdoğan said he would resign, he dint say when

NATO has not yet been called upon.
Turkey is NATO, whatever NATO wants Turkey to do, they will do. Erodgans reward is to be made rich beyond his wildest dreams.
