| #2 ["NO TIME FOR SERGEANTS" WILY USAF GENERAL EUGENE BUSH = "THATS RIDICULOUS ABOUT TURKEY, ITS NOT EVEN 2040-2050 YET"!]. IMO The more likely or pragmatic outcome is that, over time = few decades [2030-2050], the ISIS aka ISIL will be effective in destabilizing + taking over most or all of the Turkish Govt-Army. Ditto IRAN??? * GROONG > [American Thinker] THE END OF TURKEY AS AN ALLY!? * SAME > ISTANBUL: WILL NATO SET UP MILITARY BASES IN AZERBAIJAN? Thus hindering alleged Neo-Ottoman Turkey's "Pan-Turkic/Turkic Union" agenda??? versus * TOPIX > [Trend] TURKISH MILITARY WEIGHS "BUFFER ZONES" AGZ IRAQ, SYRIA THREATS. |
