#5 They would just as soon give the Kurds the Armenian treatment, but if they can’t genocide the Kurds it looks they would be satisfied with whacking some Greeks. Erdogan is going Waffle House on somebody. I would send him an envoy to point out that Somalia was once part of the Ottoman Empire. If it wasn’t, just photoshop an old map. It is just to complicated to get him to invade Afghanistan.

Somalia is grateful to President Erdogan for so generously training Somali police and army special forces, and funding schools, Super Hose. Quite possibly the schools were previously built and run by Gulenists, but our wannabe neo-Ottoman sultan gets credit now.

I would dearly love to see the Greeks beat the pants of the Gulenist-free Turkish army, deflating the legend as is happening to the Russian army, but I suspect Turkey won’t get beyond big talk.
