#7  Erdogan could make a dictatorship, with draconian measures, but it won't stop attacks against Turkey. When one wacks the Russian Bear by shooting down a Russian warplane, the Russian Bear wacks back. Erdogan royally shat in his messkit. He is on his own.

#4  Erdogan is railing against the Courts - "National Security issues" would allow him to "temporarily" remove their power to, say, release inncoent journalists that report negatively on his power grabs. He could easily have his Islamist hacks do it - can you say "Reichstag"? I knew you could

#3   Kurds, Russians, ISIS or false flag


Russians may give money/weapons to PKK but would not participate directly.
Why would ISIS attack it's benefactors?
Nobody criticized Turkey treatment of Kurds recently, so why false flag?
