So after all these decades, it’s still the same old airstrikes. Kind of always starting a fight with a right hook, people eventually adapt and screw you over by knowing the first punch to expect.
Meanwhile, back at the DC Metropolitan area golf courses .... our valiant young president continues his rounds which remain far from par. Far from par in so many areas is he.
God be with the Kurds.
As for ISIS, Erdogan is letting them do the dirty work of carving out territory for the caliphate. Turkey plans to co-opt whatever gains they make and re-establish the Ottoman hegemony. They have long since abandoned Kemalism and cast their lot with Islamism.
They have accepted that they will never be part of the EU, nor will they ever again honor their NATO membership. Obama has pretty well queered that deal once and for all. And from the Turks point of view, why should they care about joining the moribund West at this point.
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.
