Turkey Has Declared War On Syria...
Does This Mean That World War 3 Is About To Erupt In The Middle East?
...Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has just announced that the only reason Turkish military forces have entered northern Syria is to “end the rule of the tyrant al-Assad”.

By publicly proclaiming that Turkey intends to use military force to overthrow the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, Erdogan has essentially declared war on the Syrian government. Of course this puts a member of NATO in direct military conflict with Russia, since Russia is working very hard to prop up the Assad regime.

If all-out war breaks out between Turkey and Russia, could that be the spark that causes World War 3 to erupt in the Middle East? And once Turkey and Russia start fighting, would the United States and the rest of NATO be dragged into the conflict?

Erdogan is basically a u.s. puppet sharing the same assad has to go lust, russians are turning the tide in aleppo and syria foiling natos' regime change plan, if this war declaration is true they've pulled their puppets strings. Erdogan is his own worst enemy threatening to open his border to refugees heading for the eu and berating barac for sheltering the leader of turkeys' coup and talking to putin, how can nato deal with such a loose cannon?
Erdogan longs to be a genghis kahn type so as natos' grip on syria ebbs nato will give him his chance.

Google this headline and all you get is right wing alt-news sites. In other words the entire article has pretty much been made up. Wouldn't you think that if there was any truth to the headline that at least one mainstream news site might cover it? But no, nothing from the CBC; nothing from the major US networks; nothing from the BBC; and even nothing from FOX News. Just another invented story to alarm the gullible.

Erdogan doesn't know if he's coming, going or ever been there...that syrian army and kurdish ypg troops co-operate in fighting 'moderate' and genuine rebels drives him around the bend.
When kurds and syrians attack his militants around aleppo it completes his turn around the bend, when kurds upset his get assad applecart he really looses it.
To be fair the eu is hedging on their deal to grant visa free travel for turks, the u.s. affords his nemisis safe haven and the only guy that talks nice to him supports assad, who could deny this staunch nato member and u.s. ally his disillusionment and disenchantment with all things brotherly.

With Aleppo about to fall into Syrian control perhaps it is an attempt at a distraction. I don't think the statement came as a big shock to anybody. Saying it and doing it are two different beasts. Turkey doesn't want to be left out in the cold, presently she is neither an EU member or a a Mid-East Allie.
I say she follows the money and joins the mid-east bloc and allows pipelines with oil that isn't his. The refugees that he is holding over the EU's head will go south where economic gains can be made.

Other sources say Putin has asked Erdogan to clarify his most recent statements about Turkish intensions, your mainstream has said nothing about that either. Maybe they don';t want you to know.

Biggest controversy I've ever heard about Turkey is whether bread dressing is better than cornbread dressing.

Well you might want to read more and hang arround with a better crowd. Americas immeadiate future will be decided by the outcome of the Syrian war, which it has engineered adopting very bad advice from it's creditors.

That is a chicken sandwhich stuffed with cornbread, I was thinking some kind of salad dressing comes in a jar and you spread it thick with a butter knife on top of the butter you just put there on the cornbread. I don'y eat fancy very often so I would hardly be expected to know .

<snip> stuff the turkey with it and throw that bird in the oven sir,

No way to treat a comrade bird that flies with nato, barac recently pardoned a local turkey saving it from the oven so he should muster more empathy and deliver Gulen to a big turkey beginning to feel heat.
