Another Reason To De-NATO Turkey

Submitted by Dave (Canada), Jul 6, 2014 at 15:00

ISIS is even too radical for Al Qaeda, yet the Turkish government, our alleged strategic ally in NATO, materially supports them. I doubt the 0bama adminstration will do anything, as 0bama has highlighted his close friendship with the autocratic and corrupt Erdogan.

One thing that may stalemate ISIS, however, is if Iran gets major sanctions relief later in July due to a successful nukes accord; that will free up about 150 billion in frozen Iranian funds abroad. It's risky, but ISIS could help us by expanding into Iran, a move that could break up Iran.
