Erdogan is a standard grifter & wind bag. Turkey are part of a cynical & sustained US regional looting scam. US & its client YPG Kurds loot Syrian raw crude in east Syria, traffic it in convoys through US controlled Kurdistan. & sell to refineries inside Turkey. Turkey refines & on-sells stolen Syrian oil to regional trade pariah Israel. US policy is to deny Syria its own carbon resources wealth, to rebuild its infrastructure that US destroyed, & transfer the Syrian carbon wealth benefits to its client Israel who are of course Syria’s enemy. All whilst to using black market cash from looted oil project to continue arming & financing Kurdish YPG terror faction who are Turkey’s arch enemy! This is the real (Neo-Con) US State Department at work. And, Erdogan is so easily bough off, as to be part of this toxic scheme.
