Thank you for providing this article; I'll read it in the day time....I don't understand the the narrow-minded reasoning of any person with governing authority who thinks that they can accomplish their goals by aligning with literal terrorists---what do they think protects them and their goals from being murdered by the terrorists. Amoral neocons are not above amoral terrorists in practice; there's no self-reflection upon experience, and no conscience with which to reflect.

Your last sentence is spot on.

"I don't understand the the narrow-minded reasoning of any person with governing authority who thinks that they can accomplish their goals by aligning with literal terrorists---what do they think protects them and their goals from being murdered by the terrorists."

As well as a callous indifference to the death of thousands, if not millions, of innocent people, compounded by an arrogance in playing God via trying to control events in life, way beyond their ability. Always for their benefit, to the exclusion of others, I might add.

I wonder what Erdo's plans are regarding the Kurds in Syria. If he goes after them openly, maybe to run them out of Syria and into Iraq, what will the US reaction be?

The U.S. is habitual in betrayal of Kurdish objectives

Internally theere is a large population of Turks who despise Erdogan. They are the non-Islamic fanatacists who just was a stable country and a better economy. Many are very poor.

I wonder, too, where will they all go, now, the Kurdish people, Alawites, Syrian Christians, Palestinian refugees, and Yazidi refugees from Iraq?

Will they be swept under the rug by the Israeli's or the hard line Jihadists?

Thanks for the link, Cass. I found his views align with mine. If not for the Neocons, we should have been making friends with Russia post the Jewish rape of their assets and resources. Instead of Israel they could have been our BFF and better aligned given their Orthodox Christian faith and desire to join the West in peace.
