#1 Wasn't it about a month ago when the Turkish government fired most of their senior military leadership? Dollars to donuts they have tried to replace those commanders with trusted Islamists, who know nothing about military operations, just like Iran did.

Makes you wonder how the rest of their military will respond when they are ordered to get slaughtered, based on some jive turkey civilian's sense of bushido?

#4 Gaza is a side-show. The real issue is the natural gas, and Turkey's desire that it, and not Greek Cyprus, control the gas.

#6 Glad to see our new friend Greece, and the concerns around the Kurd and Armenian treatment and history. We should have Joe Biden visit the Kurds
