Can we stay far from the coming war?

Another explosion in Turkey killed at least 4 people in Istanbul yesterday. Last month car bombs killed more than 37 in the capital, Ankara. In retaliation Turkish warplanes bombed Kurdish positions in northern Iraq. As usual, Turkish President, Erdogan and his pack of henchmen have heaped abuse on terrorists. " Democracy, freedom and rule of law " have " absolutely no value " to us, said Erdogan. Truth at last. He is solely responsible for the violence in his country. To increase his powers as President he broke off a ceasefire with the Kurds last year and won a landslide victory in November. On the one hand Erdogan is allowing US planes to bomb ISIS from bases in Turkey and, on the other, he is bombing the Kurds who are the only group fighting ISIS on the ground in Syria. Kurds blame Erdogan for smuggling oil from areas controlled by ISIS, a charge which has been echoed by Russia. The US urged Erdogan to stop shelling the Kurds, which is a laugh, because, as a member of NATO, Turkey is using planes supplied by the US to do its dirty work. When Russia started to bomb ISIS oil trucks Erdogan wanted to draw in NATO in an all out war with Russia but was bluntly told that his thuggery would not be supported. Meanwhile, European Union leaders have been begging Turkey to stop the flow of migrants crossing into Greece and have signed a deal promising to take in refugees from camps in Turkey and to pay billions of Euros as ransom. Turkey wants visa-free travel for its citizens into the Schengen zone, which will allow 8 million Turks to flood into Europe instead of a couple of million Syrians. Wonderful irony. The EU surrendered to Erdogan's threats of opening the floodgates of migrants, saying that he does not have " idiot " written on his forehead. Angela Merkel's party suffered defeats in recent regional elections, with the rise of the anti-immigration Alternative fur Deutschland Party. All across Europe parties against immigration are making gains as Europeans become increasingly uneasy at the dilution of their culture, terrorist attacks and influx of economic migrants disguised as refugees. Just yesterday Paris attacker, Abdeslam, who has been on the run for 4 months, was arrested in Brussels, after being shot in the leg. The only way to stop the flood of migrants would be to bomb ports in Turkey and Libya from where they are sailing. Some already think that an all out war is a definite possibility. Why is our government surprised that the US is supplying F16 planes to Pakistan? Obama has been supplying advanced weapons to Pakistan regularly. Surely, he made a deal with the ISI of Pakistan to supply sophisticated weapons if it gave up Osama bin Laden to help him win his re-election in 2012. Never has the world seen such a collection of unscrupulous thugs and gutless wimps in power. War is inevitable. We have to maintain distance.
