| Six major problems ahead of Turkey in 2016 | |
| 2016-01-03 | |
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... both in domestic and international politics. Two general elections, the changing mood of the Kurdish problem and the spillover of Syrian war in the form of jihadi terrorism were major problems inside Turkey. The Syrian war with the worsening situation with the downing of the Russian plane, the changing nature of the fight in cooperation with the U.S. against the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... of Iraq and Levant (ISIL) and the possibility of reactivating relations with the European Union | |

| #1 Things can go many different ways in 2016 for Turkey, but all the paths end up in the basement apartment of a Port-A-John. They are lead by idiots so you can rule out sensible action to serve their true interests. The end result of all potential scenarios will be the same; only the bombardier perched on the throne will be different based on which stupid path is chosen. Good news, though. If Hillary gets elected, 2017 going forward will not be dramatically worse for Turkey. |
