Isn't this a logical fallacy? "ISIS gets logistic support so Turkey must be providing it" does not sound right to me. Granted, government was hesitant to take any action when there was a fight between IS and Syrian Kurds, but this does not mean helped IS at all.
On the bombing issue, it was PKK who broke the truce.
- KaiserPro 11y agoThats not exactly what I said. Turkey was publicly pushed into invading Syria, something they wisely declined to do. However allowing our "allies" to fund sectarian violence[1], from which the ISIS franchise grew seemed like a good compromise: Assad gets heat, and so does Kurdish nationalism.(PDP were starting to make real inroads in mainstream politics, so undermining them was a bonus, along with the right wingers) At the time it seemed like a good idea. "Islamism" eats it's self in the place where lots of the prophecies are based. However, it didn't pan out like that. [1]loosely the west and our oil rich friends, not just Turkey.
