OK, it looks like the wild card is Turkey.

At first I thought “whiskey’s” rant about Turkey being anti-US and pro-Russian to be an incalculably bizarre raving of one of several distinct personalities, Jekyll, Hyde, Molotov, whoever. After all, Turkey is in NATO. Turkey hosts us at Incyrlik. Turkey has more to fear from Russia than any other force.

If reality matches Whiskey’s ravings in any regard, then the game truly is up for us. We’ll be f**king done for, likewise our Eastern European pals, lots of big boats and no place to dock them.

On the other hand, maybe Whiskey is more than one poster, or totally schizzy, or …?

I guess the line would go like this: Turkey and Iran are partnering to squash the pesky Kurds and the pesky Arabs in Iraq.

My best guess: if a part of the government of Turkey is able to countenance such BS, a civil war in Turkey is not far away from now…
