Mad King Erdogan’s Oil Lies
Erdogan is claiming he stole no oil. He has threatened to resign if he receives proof. There is little doubt that Erdogan is insane, those who have been watching his dance of death with ISIS have known this all along.
However, while Erdogan talks only of oil, there are other issues to note as well. First of all, let’s talk about arms shipments that cross Turkey and move into Syria and Iraq. By Erdogan’s claim of total innocence, we must assume that ISIS, al Qaeda and the other openly terrorist groups that make up 95% of those fighting against Iraq and Syria are operating without any outside supplies.
To some extent this was true with major bases in both Iraq and Syria falling into terrorist hands in 2012, hundreds of American Humvee’s and Abrams tanks, even a few Syrian Air Force planes. In fact, much of the best of this equipment including dozens of updated Soviet era T-72 tanks are in wait inside Turkey, protected by Erdogan for that “drive on Damascus” that seems more and more unlikely as time goes on.
The most notorious theft Erdogan is hoping goes unnoticed is an entire Syria automobile assembly plant from the suburbs of Aleppo. In meetings with Dr. Najm Hamad al-Ahmad, Syrian Minister of Justice in Damascus a major subject of discussion was Turkish organized crime and the systematic looting of Syria and Iraq, not just antiquities and oil, but “everything that wasn’t nailed down.”
