#2 Interestingâ¦.everyone always talks about how Turkeyâs military will âstep inâ if Turkish politicians âgo too farâ, but this is the first time Iâve ever read anything that made me think that maybe thatâs still as true today as it was previously. Just cause it used to be that way doesnât mean itâs still the same; just look at US under Clinton v/s Bush.

It would be interesting to know the philosophies of these generals. Are they going to escalate tensions between US to settle old Kurd scores and go for the oil, or are they going to really reign in the Islamists in their midst?
