#5  SIYRIA-IRAQ = "SYRAQ" = MIDDLE EAST is too small for the potent or powerful, poten Nuclear Dominoes that are steadily being built up by the various Powers.

OVERLAPPING SPHERE(S) OF INFLUENCE.

#3  Recip has alienated everyone, and pi$$ed off the Russian bear. He has supported ISIS and their criminal oil trade. He has enabled dumping of hundreds of thousands of migrant jihadis in Europe. He is as much of an enemy as ISIS. He will bring death and destruction to Turkey until he is removed from office.

#2  Started looking at the comments on that article. Reminded me of the flamewars in the late 80s early 90s on the USENET side of the Internet that almost got Turkey and Greece cut off the Internet. Turkey's secret police believe in fame wars.
I feel the same way about them as I do about a raccoon in my garbage can. Flame wars are no different and their retarded intel folk don't understand that.
