ISIS is an enemy of the Kurds. Turkey is an enemy of the Kurds. So Turkey is simply acting under that age-old theory, The Enemy Of My Enemy Is My Friend.
The stadium full of Turks roared their support to ISIS when a moment of silence for Paris victims was attempted. That says a lot. ISIS can’t continue to survive without Turkey.
because Erdogan is an evil son of a Goat
Earlier today I discovered the unexpected answer in another thread
Turkey, and unidentified non-muslims (Soros?) are surreptitiously brokering stolen ISIL oil from Syria through Turkey, fraudulently identified as Iraqi oil!
Whoever is transporting the oil should be sunk, or boarded and seized; but that's a whole other verboten subject.
Erdogan is an Islamist.
He’d like to be the new Caliph.
“There is no radical Islam, there is only Islam.” Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan
Erdogan is not averse to the establishment of the Caliphate by ISIS. He thinks that Turkey, as the natural seat of the Caliph, would simply absorb the ISIS construction and bring the Caliphate back to Istanbul where it belongs.
Because certain connected Turks are making MILLIONS of dollars a week selling ISIS oil, and brokering weapons from Ukraine to ISIS.
ISIS was in part a creation of the turks’. Where did all those shiny Toyota come from? Look at a map.
He was in Turkey when he was hammering the Repubs.
Oil, it’s all about oil and below market prices. Russia is positioning itself to eventually control all the oil, but right now, they are all buying oil from Iraq and ISIS, including Assad,. Assad is buying oil from ISIS.
If they wanted to cut ISIS off att the knees they would bomb the oil fields and cut off their funding. Europe, Russia, Turkey, Syria, all want below market oil and Obama wants cheap oil to hurt the US oil industry.
Today Putin said that Turkey is protecting ISIS oil because Turkey has made a dal with ISIS to buy the oil.
That is the same thing that I have been saying for weeks. The chaos in the Middle Eadt is all about the oil. It has even been posited hat Obama had a dal with the Saudis to lower the price of oil my glutting the market but the Saufis could not be expected to carry the burden long term, so the Iranians offered a dal to Europe and Russia for cheap oil and ISIS got into the game by stealing the Iraqi oil.
