#1 The Turks will be seriously pissed about this. I wouldn't rule out 'accidentally' shooting down a US plane.

#2 ex-Motoroleans and Nokians are still pissed at Turkey for contributing to the strangulation of those 2 firms buy supporting the defrauding of them. Turkey can ESaD!

#6 The airdrops are almost certain to anger the Turkish government,

It may be small-minded and petty to take delight in this, but there you have it. I wonder how you say "Neener, neener!" in Turkish?

* SAME = KURDISH PESHMERGA Commanders are angrily reluctant or hesitant to send reinforcements to Kurds fighting in Kobani given already widespread, heavily porous Kurd-ISIS battlefront extending over 1000-kms in length.
