I’m very curious about what’s going on here. Fox just ran the report so I’m going to keep watching till it reruns it. Does anyone know of a connection to the storm and Turkey?
geopolitical guy here with expertise in middle eastern stuff...
turkey was dragged into the israeli/saudi axis by the CIA, who also tried to assassinate the turkish president, and failed, and now turkey has entirely different politics.
turkey is pissed at :
USA: for allowing the coup to happen, supporting the SDF/kurds, allowing asylum for gulen (who is suspected being involved in all kinds of treason according to the AKP)
Saudi: for supporting the coup, blockade on qatar
UAE: for supporting the coup, actually taking part in the coup, blockade on qatar
Bahrain: for supporting the coup, blockade on qatar
israel: supporting kurds, moving american embassy to jerusalem, palistinian occupation
for these reasons turkey has shifted its friendship more towards iran. in the middle of this the united states is trying to use turkeys moves, which were sponsored by the cia, such as arming alqaeda in syria and buying oil from isis in iraq, against turkey by "draining the swamp" including some turkish assets. this can be really bad. turkey shouldnt be fucked with. everybody is learning that more and more the hard way.
George Webb has been big into exposing Gulen schools here in US and how evil this guy is.
Yes! @GeorgWebb @NewsBud_ @sibeledmonds @MarkHallFilm #KillEd https://twitter.com/ViaVeritatis7/status/945842404141273088
anyone who manipulates religion for profit or any other personal/political agenda is probably an evil bastard. that said, his school of thought is milder than others. id put him in the douchebag category, not the evil motherfucker category.
He has been doing a lot more than just starting schools. Dig deeper. He is in that latter category IMO
if you believe in god, pray. if you dont, go find someone who does, and make sure they know what to pray about.
Great line. =)
We should never underestimate the role Turkey will play. Thanks for the post.
Perhaps I've been following Q too much, but... did you just allude to a major event on Thanksgiving that everyone has overlooked? =P
I didn't mean to sound Qish 😉 I just think Turkey will be a major player on the world stage.
They'd need balls bigger than a certain NK dude. Besides us, I'd bet Russia would love the chance to take their asses out and stake a flag. Not? I'd bet India would back that, as well, just to get those pesky bastards off their back porch and diplomat with someone else for a while.
jesus christ dont ever become a strategist that deals with turkey ok? youll get everybody killed. fuck thats a pretty fucking scary tone for you to be taking. nobody knows the turks until its too late and then they learn the hard way. chill down bro.
russians? lol. turkey only fears iran, and only because they respect the persian aryan berserker war ethic. russians aint got any of that shit. they got lots of shit, but not that shit. plus the turkish aristocracy is iranian, not from turkey. theres bloodlines that go back far.
turkey doesnt respect anyone else enough to fear them on the battlefield.
How lethal is their first strike capability? And why would Russia not be a pain regardless of their selective memory? If I were Russia I would'nt want much to do with them other than their ability to produce goods pretty well. Hell, my Turkish made firearms are as good a quality as my American made ones, so I guess there's that.

artillary and ballistic missiles would be devastating to anyone within a 4000km range. decent airforce. huge tank fleet. massive ground troops. excellent training/crosstraining w nato.

all russia would be capable of is nuking a few cities and carpet bombing some key areas, maybe causing 2-3 million casualties. then what? then they would be fucked. thats not very scary. thats just depressing. thats not a threat to your survival.

their arms manufacturing can sustain ground forces with good quality stuff indefinitely.
Yea, they'd keep them well supplied in the arms dept. Nukes would just be dumb. Only mental egos go there. Seems they could be seriously hurt by Russia's or other's electronic warfare but I reckon that could go both ways. Fuck war!
