#1 Don't the Kurds have IS to contend with? Sounds stupid to choose to fight a second front. Why isn't the KRG putting some restraints on their PKK brethren?

What two fronts? Turks supported ISIS war against Kurds covertly---until Kurds stated winning. Then Turks went to direct support.

#3 Hmmm. So Erdogan's plan is to take down the HDP using the PKK as the excuse. Interesting.

Still. the PKK striking Turkey is playing into Erdogan's hand. It is not the play that I would make.

#4 Had to look up what the F-4 2020 (terminator) is.

Basically, re-wired, new hydrolics, and hard points updated to handle current weapon systems, and new electronics in the cockpit and ability to use targeting pods.

Sounds like a fairly modern strike aircraft wrapped up in a F-4.

North Iraq huh. We have Ottoman Erdy flying strikes for ISJV?

Other intelligence sources...it would be a damn shame if the information gathered by advisors to the clobbering kurds of kobane has found its way to Team Erdy.
