Well his country is member of the NATO, so he is one of the good guys.
And we help him, as much as we can. Read our propaganda.

Iraq parliament told them to get out, but Turkish troops are stationed at that camp just north of Mosul. They claim they are training Iraqi fighters for the assault on Mosul. Probably there to help Daesh leaders to escape when the assault begins.


"Erdogan suggested at the weekend any liberation of Mosul had to be conducted by those with ethnic and religious ties to the city, objecting to the use of Shiite militiamen or anti-Ankara Kurdish forces.
Turkey is an overwhelmingly Sunni Muslim country with increasingly close ties to Sunni Muslim kingpin Saudi Arabia.
As he did with regard to Syria, Erdogan indicated he was particularly troubled by any use of fighters linked to the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), which has waged a 32-year insurgency inside Turkey and whose paramilitary headquarters are in northern Iraq.
"The game played by Shiite militias and members of the terrorist organisation linked to the PKK -- in complete contradiction of the region's sectarian and ethnic structure, its cultural sensitivities -- must be disrupted," he said."


I hope an IED takes out Erdogan, that pig!

And just hours after the Kurds announced they were going to keep any land they liberated (Mosul included).

Surprise surprise and the possible next chapter in the whole mess about to take shape after ISIS are run out of town.

Oh great, back to the Kurd-bashing. That'll please newsreaders, trying to make sure they get the first letters the right way round when saying "Turkish Kurds"

Two things which I have wondered about

1. In the late night news yesterday I heard Russia had given Assad their S-300-This got me thinking, today Assad, tomorrow...?

2. In a letter or something the Iraqi government have warned Turkey to leave Iraqi ground or the danger for a regional war were dangerously near
A real threat or ?

Iraq has told Erdogan, that if their troops don't leave Iraq, it could turn into a regional war. Motive behind Turkeys move is-

"In northern Syria, where Turkey is backing rebels fighting Islamic State, Ankara has warned that Kurdish militias are "filling the vacuum" left by Islamic State. Fearing that this will boost the Kurdish rebellion across the border in southeast Turkey, it has threatened to "cleanse" them."

Just what the area needs, is more war,lol

I read recently some Russian 160'a were in your area too, but didn't go into your air space.

Yeah, they do like to sniff around the area, never enter UK airspace though.

Here's a pic of the Finnish Flanker:

Israel hit by a few rockets from Gaza, and Israeli jets respond. Geez, if they weren't trying to kill each other in the ME, they wouldn't have a stinking thing to do over there.

We once had a spy car sniffing into Croatia. They reached Zagreb before being caught.

Some time ago, one from west landed on the Red square. So, a little sniffing here and there is hardly much of a problem.
