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.
