Turkey is boxed into a corner. Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of Jihadis.

This will end with a Turk incursion into Syria to preserve Erdogan's pride, or a Turk military coup.

Maybe both.

The military could well stage a coup, if they have to draw back a bloody stump from the Russian maw.

So... was this whole Arab Spring thing a collusion between the Obama Administration, Hillary, and Erdogan to give Turkey control of the Middle East ?

More Ezekiel 38. Togarmah = Turkey. Rosh = Russia. Gomer = Germany. Meshech = Moscow. Tubal = Tobolski. Read it and weep.

In the past a coup would be likely at this point. Erdogan took preemptive action several years ago getting rid of as many of the high ranking officers who weren’t 100% in his camp. He may not have the same worries on that front that earlier leaders did.

soetoro / jarrett / soros support of turkey, isis, al queda, mb but then appeasement of iran.

Either complete incompetence or my most diabolical conspiracy theory might be true.
