Recent developments have shown Turkish Prime Minister Recep Erdogan to either be completely insane or under the complete control of Islamists with his idiotic push to start WW3. Ignoring the peaceful surrender of the Irish boat Rachel Corrie, the PM has all but threatened out right war with Israel over the continuing blockade. It just came to light that if not for the reasonable stance of Obama and French President Nicolas Sarkozy, Turkey was ready to attack with forces from Cyprus. He was threatened with isolation from NATO and Europe if he went through with it.
Undeterred, he has still threatened to use warships for the next flotilla and possibly going himself as he feels that no one would DARE attack him. Good luck with that. If either of those scenarios plays out, it's going to be ugly. Unlike the crisis is North Korea which seems to have Kim Jong Il looking to put the brakes on things, Turkey seems hellbent on escalation. The Washington Post just revealed that the PM office in Ankara is shelling out millions to the IHH, a terrorist group with close ties to Hamas and Al Queda, and the ones responsible for the recent set up of Israeli troops being attacked. The Post is calling for any investigation into the scandal to include this. As for Turkey calling this their 9/11, they need shut the hell up. 9 dead a national tragedy it isn't. The PM is also for the first time in modern history putting radical Muslim civilians into positions of power rather than military or government officials. As a result, they are seeking murder charges against Israel, which of course, will never actually mean anything other to inflame public opinion.
This has to stop. If Turkey keeps escalating the matter, a war is inevitable, and in no way will it be limited to just Turkey and Israel. We'll all be involved. Hopefully, saner heads will prevail in Turkey but considering the level of stupidity world wide, I kind of doubt it.

ReplyDeleteKeep writing, your writing is great when I can't find anything to laugh at. It is much more ridiculous than Glen Beck.
ReplyDeleteGlenn Beck makes stuff up to fit his agenda. I can verify everything I write as fact.
ReplyDeleteWhile Turkey threatened war with Israel, Israel has actually launched two recent wars so far.
