Well, that assumes any of this is true. The press is happily repeating anything it hears from Erdogan, who has his own stake in this and who is no saint either

Well, that assumes any of this is true. The press is happily repeating anything it hears from Erdogan, who has his own stake in this and who is no saint either. I have no love for the Saudis, nor many of the other countries over there, though. I tend to view it as Game of Thrones material for a foreign state and I hate it, but figure that it's really none of our business.
