The Kurds are truly one of the few that could seriously go against Turkey at this point. Putin and Assad both publicly supported them in fighting ISIS, I'm curious how much they are actually financing them. If Erdogan tries to start removing all Kurds from Turkey, that would be very very interesting how it plays out.
Erdogan is already in an active civil war against the Kurds in Turkey. His main reason to finally intervene in the ISIS conflict in Syria was to prevent the two northern kurdish fronts to connect and form a threat to him. He even shelled Kurdish positions while the Kurds where fighting ISIS. He supported ISIS for a long time with the secret oil trades across the border and offering them a market to. This whole thing is as dark as it is ugly
The oil trade with ISIS was pretty common knowledge, but I didn't hear about the shelling for some reason. I don't know if I should grab my popcorn or my iodine.
I would doubt it to. But Erdogan is hard at work to make himself the new Sultan and purging everything in sight that's even remotly considered a threat to him so it will be increasingly hard to dispose of him.
Maybe this is plan B?
