Syria's fate will depend on a neo-Ottoman Turkey

This is what now days passes for a western intellectual viewpoint on Syria. It is little wonder that both the political leaders in Washington/London find it almost impossible to get good advice on any issue.

Firstly, this idea that is being pushed that Turkey is a power in 2012 is banal in its best form but more to the point it is one of the silliest statements made so far. Turkey is a THIRD WORLD country that is being propped up by the EU at every turn through aid for the country and its armed forces. Most of Turkey’s military hardware is provided free of charge. If you want to see just how strong Turkey is as an economic power let Brussels open its doors to all that want to come to the EU from Turkey and then you will see how many is left. Apart from Istanbul and Ankara the rest is a horse and donkey economy. The only reason we keep on hearing about the might of the Turkish economy is that the west panders to it.

The chances of Turkey taking over Syria is about as good as the indigenous tribes taking back New York. Thinking about it and what happens are two very different things. The Turkish army imposing a buffer zone would be an even sillier idea than the US invading Iraq, but stupid does as stupid sees. The Turkish army has been wiped clean several times by the PKK in northern Iraq and that is simply due to the fact that they believed in their own BS too much i.e. the Turkish army is invincible.

Now for the Turks to even attempt a buffer zone they would need UN cover and that is not going to happen too soon. In the meantime Damascus can easily supply better equipment to the PKK so they can operate more efficiently inside Turkish territory and they could then ignite that fire for the Turks.

“…the former Ottoman empire, Bosnia and Kosovo - that has a transformative effect. But none of them, least of all Washington, show any intention of doing so here.”

Why not explain the reason that the might of western windbaggery will not intervene? It’s because they will not have the cover of an approval from the UN where the mighty west only attacks small and defenceless nations to ensure they can crap on about their superior weapons. The second and most important reason is that the Russians will arm the Syrians and the superior western aircraft will be shot down by the dozen; that is why.

Who in their right mind, except crackpot academics, would embrace a Muslim nation of many millions so they can move into the EU and cause even more strife than now exists? Can you imagine a Europe where you Turks out breeding the locals? The vast, vast majority of Turkish immigrants to Europe would live off social security and so would their children and grandchildren – ask the Germans.

If you place the same conditions of entry into the EU on Turkey as they do for everyone else then Turkey has not even scratched the surface in achieving EU standards. Turkey is about 60 years behind at least and that is despite being given billions in aid from the US and EU over many decades.

Its time for academics to write about the reality and not invent scenarios that are based on dreams – to say “ Turkey now under sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Russia yoked to tsar Vladimir Putin, China in the last months of emperor Hu Jintao, Britain with Her (in 1912, His) Majesty's pink-cheeked first minister, and so on” – is purile. Its no even good enough to pass off as humour.

I guess propaganda has to follow certain rules in order to be effective. A small mistake and it becomes apparent, actually damaging the propaganda creator instead of benefiting him.

Oh well I guess even university professors have expenses to cover - hence this great article, full of inaccuracies presented as facts. Personal wishes being presented as historical truths.

I guess one gets what he pays for. This article is by no means a view point. It is bad propaganda and as such it is rejected and returned to its initial sender.

I guess the next article of the propaganda professor will be about EU begging the great EU nation of Turkey to be integrated.

Cant wait

Very interesting its being all sit up in one of the worst wars in history just as the bible says so. Russian armies will come down with Turkey ,Iran ,Egypt and other Muslim states on one side as Syria will once again become a colony of Ottoman Turks. They will get such a horrible thrashing by little Israel that the evil wicked satanically inspired alliance will be against.
