The vote was not any real surprise, but at 298-98 the Turkish parliament today approved the government’s mandate to launch military actions inside Iraq and Syria.
The mandate will allow Turkey to grant usage of their military bases to other nations involved in the war against ISIS, meaning the US et al will have access to Turkish airfields that they were previously denied.
Perhaps more importantly, however, the language of the mandate allows Turkey to use its military forces not only against ISIS, but against virtually anybody they choose to label militants, which opens up the possibility that they will attack Kurdish factions as well, many of whom are labeled “terrorists” under Turkish law.
The mandate allows Turkey to begin such operations starting Monday, though it is unclear if the Erdogan government intends to begin such operations then, or simply leaves them open to launch such operations at will in the future.
We been saying that all along for months if not years. As Barack Hussein Obama widened the war he wants for Saudis/Qatari/UAE to expend their territorial, religious rules into Syria and Iraq, Turkish Erdogan regime will not stand by not getting anything from the deal, he was waiting for ISIS to clear some, if not all Kurdish population at Turkish borders, now that ISIS done the job Turkish Erdogan regime in cooperation with Saudis/Qatari/UAE/USG will invade northern Syria and from south the saudis Iraq. They are simply redrawing the Iraq, Syria map, in this new map the Syria Kurdish and to some point the Iraqi Kurds territory needs to be eliminated, while Barzani will be the new King in his little kingdoms that's going to be left of Kurdish demand for independent.
So if Turkey attacks the Syrian government, then if Russia and Iran come to the aid of Syria, are we close to a much larger regional war?
Will the people of the Middle East pay a horrendous price for the US creating ISIS via support for the disappearing Syrian opposition?
With Turkey being a NATO member, theoretically, if they are attacked – even in response to a really ignorant action by the Turks – then , yes, NATO is supposed to come to their aid. And with American forces based in Turkey the likelihood that the US would respond is almost certain.
A recipe for disaster. But that seems to be the game plan, doesn't it?
Turkey sure know how to follow the money. That and their desire to get rid of Assad.
The dream of after Assad is the same situation as Libya
Game of chicken — Blind man’s bluff
All charades aside, to keep Russia out of the global economy, at the first opportunity to plunder by war all of Russia’s natural resources and to turn Russia into a Gaza in spades, this being the real goal of our darling Empire — comes now a game of chicken to start the process.
Russia, Iran, Syria and Lebanon against the oil rich dictatorships of the Persian Gulf and all of the Western world, surely if they should engage in war it would be the start of World War Three.
In short, has there ever been a thing so entirely and irreversibly corrupt as the Empire loving Western world?
The two-faced Turkish whore strikes again. What a little rat fink b!tch she is. Much like Israel and the Gulf sheikdoms, (surely these paragons of democracy and decency will come up smelling like a rose) someone needs to teach her a lesson.
