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.

Or will Trump ban the fuck out of me?

wat? Are you admitting to being a Muslim? Trump banned everyone who practices the Islamic religion! All 40+ countries including NATO allies!

But seriously, Turkey could seize the nuclear weapons the US has stockpiled there, and that is a real fucking potential problem.

Good links though, thanks.

Edit: @Boukert I work with a guy that used to work on the US nuclear weapons program. From his description, it's basically "a lot of people who don't know what they're doing trying to make weapons that could destroy humanity". You can't hire anyone for that job that has actual experience for that job, and you just get...something.
