Another one bites the dust. Iraq went pro-Shia, and Turkey is swinging pro-Islam. If not shia, some other militant bastard version. Erdogan has already threatened Israel. He's attacked and is still threatening the Kurds in Syria and Iraq.

First thing that needs to happen is NATO needs to kick Turkey out. They won't because they see it as not in Putin's hands. I see Putin swinging with Turkey over Europe and Turkey swinging with Russia rather than NATO. Turks respect only force. Putin is using it and we're pussing around and Europe is doing nothing. Best scenario is Turkey and Russia get into it. Unlikely.

The line in the sand is being drawn right in front of us and no one's addressing it. This could have all been addressed LONG ago had we not been so busy bickering over internal politics.
If we had left troops in Iraq, or replaced Saddam with another dictator, maybe they wouldn't be Shia.
Maybe trump should negotiate with erdogan.
