Would be useful to invade and stop them pesky Kurds from slowing down the import of oil from IS to Turk wouldn't it.........

It wasn't reported much on the news but Israels forgien Minister said Turkey were benefitting financialy from IS oil.

If Turkey did decide to go into Syria im pretty sure Syria has a mutual defence pact with Iran. Also does the NATO pact stand if Turkey was the aggerssor and the Russians assisted the Syrians?

I think the NATO 'pact' is already a myth. We are bombing ISIS but against Assad.
The Russians are bombing ISIS and anyone who is against Assad.
Turkey is on which side? Ah- maybe supporting ISIS?

Certainly suits his agenda and his regional interests....

"He is investing heavily in Iraqi Kurdistan, aiming to take possession of its oil, as Turkey has no oil of its own. Mr. Erdogan is gunning down Syrian and Turkish Kurds. He is moving Turkic-speaking peoples to northern Syria. He is interested in seeing the distraction of ISIL, Al-Nusra or whatever else you want to call it, playing out in the center of Syria and Iraq."

Looking at some of the things that France & Turkey are saying today about the alleged bombings of these hospitals being war crimes by Syrian or Russian forces. Funny thing they weren't saying that a few months ago when US Forces blitzed a Hospital and killed people in it in Afghanistan.

That wasn't the intended target though, (allegedly)

Can't trust Sputnik - the multimedia division of Rossiya Segodnya, a Russian state owned and operated international news agency notorious for propaganda

Fair enough. First time I have looked at any of their media. Not withstanding, Erdogen would love to see himself as the new leader of a new caliphate....Watching whats going on right now, seems to have been predicted many many centuries ago....

True but they seem to miss the inteded target and hit the wrong thing an awful lot yet you never see US soldiers up on War Crime charges.
