No doubt if this was happening to Turkey, they would be yelling for NATO to help them out.

BURSA, TURKEY — The future of the Syrian town of Kobane hung in the balance Tuesday as the Islamic State’s three-week assault on the Kurdish-held enclave appeared to enter its endgame.

Its last hope likely hinges on Ankara, whose armed forces remain poised on the border only hundreds of yards from the battle, resisting mounting pressure from Turkey’s own Kurdish minority to assist Kobane's defenders.

Despite a range of strategic and ideological factors inclining Ankara against direct intervention, increasingly angry protests both in Turkey and abroad are creating mounting pressure for it to act.

It depends on what side are you on.

For you, the kurds are terrorists because you are on the side of ISIS.

For me, the kurds are courageous, strong and heroic people.

May Islamic fanatic Turkey's Erdogan be damned for not helping the brave kurdish men and women!

 

[Mineva]

Sunni Man, we wont help Kurdish terrorists, they are fleeing from Kobane in woman dresses and they are creating turmoils in Turkiye. Turkiye is really so tolerant country, if they were doing the same in Usa or in Russia or in or in Israel, they would be bombed till they puke blood. This is not our job to save them, there are millions of Kurds around the World, they can go to the Kobane and fight againt ISIS, do we prevent them ? We also offered to create a safe zone for them in Syria but they rejected it with a rating.

The Kurds are a troublesome minority for Turkey.

The more that ISIS kills-off, the fewer to make trouble for the Turks.

If ISIS would have existed in 1915, the Turks would probably have fed the Armenians to ISIS, as well.

Letting ISIS spill the blood and treasure, while Turkey reaps the benefit of a lessening or elimination of a troublesome minority, without getting its own hands dirty.

The time may come when it will become necessary to (a) expel Turkey from NATO and (b) abandon any plans to make Turkey part of the EU.

It's continuing Radical Islam-ization and increasing hostility (hidden, or open) to The West - courtesy of their Prime Minister and his people - seem likely to place Turkey in the Enemy Camp within the next decade or two, unless things change.

Since the times of Ataturk, the Army has always been the ultimate Guardian of the Nation, keeping radicals in line.

If Erdogan gets much further out of hand, the Army may need to step in, once again, assuming that (a) they are still committed to Ataturk's secular republic and (b) they are still capable of intervening.

Otherwise...

It would be a shame to lose Turkey - they have been good friends and true allies in recent decades, until recently - but it will be their choice - not ours - and, if they do end-up going over to The Enemy - it's not the end of the world - merely another painful inconvenience.

Turkey has an army that could squash ISIS, and the US has bases there.

Don't be afraid for Turkey, they have plenty of back up

Syria is not a NATO member

Who is talking about Syria.

Turkey is a NATO member and has one of the strongest armies in the world which could quickly stop ISIS... Ergodan is so devious that the world hasn't realized until now, that he is playing a double game.

Before the Islamist Ergodan took over, Turkey was a reliable good friend, but now it won't have any friends in the world, because when the Kurds are slaughtered in Kobane, Turkey will be blamed and with good reason.

The world will never forget!

Ergodan, don't keep on pretending you are going to help.

You have been fully exposed for what you are!

The civilized world - including myself - is expecting and hoping that Turkey will stop ISIS overunning Kobane!

When Kobane falls there will be the usual massacre and beheading of Kurd prisioners and the women being rape then sold as sex slaves.

Would you be happy with that outcome. Disgusting!

You're talking about Turkey invading Syria.

Besides the US wanting them to do that...why should they?

Other countries down have the money to go around using expensive military supplies to defend people they don't like, in another country, just because Americans are outraged
