If the Turks want to conduct a war with Syria, and by extension, Russia... They'll need to grow a really big pair and do it on their own.

Well, the Turkish government will have to. I doubt many ordinary Turks want a war.

But then again, do governments really listen to the people anymore?

Have you recently checked how their elections went along? European commentators spoke of a landslide victory for Erdoghan - despite the many revelations about his foul play, nepotism, corruption, cheating and conspiracy. Erdoghan is as popular in Turkey as Putin is in Russia.

The turn towards more religious orthodoxy that he has caused, also is welcomed by many Turks. Back then when I was there (mid 90s), it was the vast majority.

Was that yell of despair I just heard coming from Brussels?
