Here are ten things you need to know about Turkey.
1. On March 27, the government of Turkey blocked YouTube, less than a week after blacking out Twitter. Ostensibly, this was to prevent the spread of videos that are said to feature the voices of Turkey’s foreign minister, intelligence chief, and a top army general proposing to send the Turkish military into Syria to protect the tomb of Suleiman Shah, the grandfather of the founder of the Ottoman Dynasty.
2. If these tapes are real, Turkey has been considering staging an attack on itself as a pretext to intervene in Syria. Turkey is a member of NATO. Article V of the North Atlantic Treaty establishing the alliance states that members will treat an attack against one member as an attack against all and respond accordingly—up to and including the use of armed force.

3. Turkey’s ruling AKP is facing a disaster in Syria. Turkey’s battle with the radical Kurdish-separatist PKK has claimed as many as 40,000 lives since the 1980s.
When Assad pulled his forces away from the border, the PYD (the Syrian analogue to the PKK) assumed control over the Kurdish majority regions, prompting Ankara to attempt to counter them by arming radical Islamist groups and opening its borders to foreign fighters.

7. One of the most explosive tapes, published on February 25, features conversation between voices alleged to be those of the prime minister and his son, Bilal. They are heard discussing how best to hide tens of millions of dollars in cash stored in the family home. The prime minister instructs his son to get rid of all the money, preferably after dark. His son says he has moved all but $41.6 million.

With the world’s problems, and Obumbo as POTUS, one needs a bit of humor to keep from going stark raving mad.
Hussein Obama is close pals with the Turkish leader. obama may have convinced his friend to pull the trigger and then he’ll try to get us involved.
Obama said his administration would be transparent. It is in so many ways.
As usual, we’ll go to war for Muslims.
If Russia attacked Turkey from the rear, do you think Greece would help? (ancient groaner joke)

This is some of the most complicated and unusual intrigue I have ever heard of. Turkey is the pin on the grenade that starts WW III if I read Ezekiel 38 right; and a most unexpected pin-puller just showed up. Just bizarre enough to be true (and significant).
I had a turkey bologna sandwich for supper, btw.
