And what about the airstrikes that are going to be needed on Turkish soil..?

The EUrocrats and their IMF paymasters are keeping a lid on Turkish involvement in the hope they can still get Turkey in the EU and get their grubby hands on Turkish markets.

The Turks give IS safe haven on the border in the hope they'll eradicate the Kurds, which the Turks have been fighting on their southern border for years (PKK) ..

Now the US (coalition) wants to arm the Kurds to use as a tool against IS and no doubt against Assad, but what then..?
The parallel with the Mujahadeen vs the Soviets is obvious. The Kurds carve out an autonomous region that conflicts with Turkish sovereignty... a clusterfuck in the making of the highest order.

Why the fuck are the US and it's 'allies' having to deal with this.!?
