I read 1/2 this article from another website yesterday seems like paranoia. The US and Europe don't want to split Turkey in 1/2, although ideologically it already is, the western 1/2 being more like Europe while the eastern 1/2 being more like other middle eastern countries.
Also the population in the eastern half is a lot of Kurds, there are Kurds in the Turkish military so I've never really understood the ideological differences. How can they commit a genocide of the Kurdish people when they have so many Kurds in their military?
The goal of the US has not changed, take out Assad's government and install another puppet government to build a pipeline through Syria into the Ukraine and then Europe. They also want to cut off Hezbollah from the med to Iran. They also want to get rid of Russia's naval port in Tartus.
Even though Trump is in office instead of Hillary the gameplan hasn't changed, take out Assad to then take out Iran.

From Turks point of view it is simple ; if you are a friend , you are welcome if not you'll be fought against .

Turkey, or at least the events in Turkey, are in my opinion the biggest threat in the world to keep an eye on. The Kurds had a big impact in the war against IS. Now that 'job' is done they are under attack of the Turkish government and are frustrated the world is just watching. They expect backup of the west as return of their effort in facing IS.
So, what is the West doing? Just let Turkey do what they do? Abandon the Kurds and risk another Taliban? Keep in mind Kurds are all over Europe (don't know about US), mass protests have already taken place.
Personally I would love to see the West giving Turkey a big slap in the face, but I don't see that happening. Turkey is part of NATO and removing them from NATO would be a new chapter in itself (do we really want Turkey to fully military collaborate with Russia).
Damn sick situation.
What a racist and religionist post , like the rest of this thread .
Without Turks , there is NO NATO .
Painfull as it might be ; Turks provide security for West .

Yeah? By letting millions of Islamic extremists pour through their border into Europe? Yeah I bet Europeans feel real safe knowing Turkey is looking out for them.

I wouldn't be surprised if Turkey made a secret alliance with North Korea: In exchange for ignoring sanctions, Fat Boy will agree to sell them nuclear weapons.
Turks already have nukes courtesy of Pakistan.

Currently 4 million Syrians are refugees in in Turkey and Erdogan is fighting to reverse the ethnic cleansing the US assisted Kurdish terrorist organisations so that these refugees don't end up in Europe .
Thats the truth , you can deal with it in your own time .

The coup was staged by Erdogan and his supporters to justify another massive crack down and purge of his opponents. This time it went further then just imprisoning military personnel they also went after the media and educated people, teachers etc. it was a nation wide crack down and purge of his opponents.
Turkey is no longer a pro western democracy.
a reply to: testingtesting
yes indeed...
the thing is..... Turkey has gone Islamic... with Radicalism/fundamentalism soon to follow...
Turkey won no respect from the Europeans so 'They' went back to their 'roots'
Watch to see if Russia claims the western parts of Constantinople
while the Turks retain the Eastern parts of Istanbul---(the schism that will divide the Turks from friendly Russia)
You think Russians prefer to fight the Turks as oppose to Central Europeans ?
You lot are really living in a dream world ; Turks shot down Russian jet last year and what happened ?
Zilch , nothing , nada .
Russians and Turks are Eurasians and they both dislike the Franco-Germanic Axis of Europe which is founded upon the vlaues of Greeks .

Americans are "more cunning"? Really?
So far, their plans seem to be in utter tatters and they are losing support and allies year on year.
I look forward to the day when their bases here in the UK are closed and they are asked to leave here too. Of course, we need some leadership with a spine to do that, but I am always hopeful.

It’s funny reading this guys posts.
He claims he’s British. Won’t admit his Turkish.
Read his posts and he’s 1000% Turkish. Like an unpaid mouthpiece for Erdogan and his Islamist policies.
Might hold a British passport but you’re Turkish through and through.

Lol I’m surprised you’re still around or haven’t changed accounts yet. Why continue lying when there’s so many who 1) don’t believe you and 2) know the truth and facts are refute the nonsense you post?
Turkish authorities profit immensely from the people smuggling trade. Because they are directly involved. Just like they were directly involved in the smuggling of Syrian oil by isis which was delivered to Turkey thanks to Erdogan and his son. The Greek coast guard has intercepted MANY boats loaded with concealed munitions that weren’t declared headed for terror groups in Libya etc. Who do you think tipped them off about which ships to intercept?

I've been to Turkey. It was kind of ruff. The Turkish Major asked me why I was in their country. I told him just for tourism. The other soldiers in the bus were on their why to get their scorpion stings. Ooohh. I see them as no different than any other people in a muslim country.
What it comes down to is respect. I have no problem with the Turks. Tasty food, hot tea, interesting conversations. I've only heard what the MSM wants me to hear about Erdogan. So I take it with a grain of salt.
