ERDOGAN DIVING INTO THE ABYSS???

As little as two days ago, most of the "talking heads" were sticking to their predictions Turkey would weather this protest storm and Egodan's administration was in no real danger of collapse.

Well, that was two days ago and I have to tell you, many of those talking heads have begun to go silent or they are quickly adding the Turkish chapter to their new book on the Middle East... ( Insert stab here!!!).

So, what has changed in the past two days?

Easy answer, Egodan has successfully taken exactly the wrong move in dealing with the Terrorist... Trouble Makers...ect..ect.. he just keeps adding categories to the list of names.

Today's move into Taksim Square was all but predictable given the mindset of Turkey's leader.

What was also predictable today was the controlled media, something Egodan has accomplished in the past ten years, went into full swing painting the government as just trying to protect Turkey's image!

I must admit, I loved how the government offered to "meet with the protesters"!

Meeting them with gas and clubs...well... I guess that's one definition of "meeting"!

An "Olive Branch".. to beat the protesters with!!!


So, is Turkey on the road to a actual civil crisis?

This weekend will tell the story.

When Egodan sends his "supporters" to the streets and the Soccer Club hooligans come out to meet them, that will start the next phase in this crisis and you can bet Egodan will do everything in his power to stoke the flames; although he won't realize he's doing it!

Oh, by the way, play close attention to the comments, or the lack there of, from the Turkish military.

That will be yet another indicator as to what direction is heading.

All of this may not take place to this weekend and that gives me time to comment on the other vital story in the region.

Assad's assault on Eleppo appears to have begun and it will not go as planned.

I will switch over to this topic before going back to Turkey and that will happen by Friday night.
