I didn’t realize the Arab/Berber division. Interesting point.
Turkey definitely upped the ante with their commitment of additional jihadi troops out of Syria, and major arms shipments/upgrades - enough to save their side from final defeat around Tripoli, and turn the tide of the war.
Looks like another escalation is in the offing, with the large Egyptian Military poised to enter the fray.
Turkey and Egypt have the largest Sunni Armies. Turkey is harboring the cadre of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood, the nemesis of the Egyptian Regime.
Turkey might well escalate again in response to the Egyptian Army entering Libya. If those two end up in direct conflict, it could be a major war.
It is probably more likely that Turkey will try to keep it a surrogate conflict - but there is off-shore oil at stake as well as the big oil fields on land. Turkey is angling to get direct control of the off-shore fields. Oil is the Edrogan Crime Family’s main racket, so that prize might tempt him enough to go all in.
Gotta side with Egypt against Turkey. Egyptian military leadership is secular. Turkey used to be the same way but now they’re crazy since Erdogan took charge

It wouldn’t be much of a “major” war. Turkey is incapable of projecting sufficient military power for any significant length of time.
