Extract:

The Americans and their friends in Turkey want to get rid of Erdogan. This week the American journal "Newsweek" published an article of a leading "neo*con" (as they call the vehemently anti-*Russian and pro-*Israeli American right who are also enemies of Trump) Michael Rubin, in which he predicts the imminent and inevitable death of the Turkish President at the hands of conspirators. A new coup will occur on the 10th of November, and it is at this time that Erdogan will certainly meet his end, say the newspapers. Erdogan sees the friendship with Russia and a union with Putin as his only chance to survive and to remain whole, says Mehmet.

The Americans want to divide Syria and Turkey, to create a large Kurdish state out of the pieces of Syria, Iraq, and Turkey. Erdogan prevents this, actively fights against the Kurdish rebels in Syria, insists on Turkish participation in the operation to liberate Mosul instead of the salute to Washington, and executing its will." Erdogan is the only supporter of the alliance with Russia in the Turkish leadership," says Mehmet. "If he is killed Turkey will immediately pivot to America." Almost all of the opposition represented in Parliament are set up as pro-*American the effect of many years of NATO membership.

Whether this happens or not remains to be seen, but it makes perfect sense for the US to eliminate Erdogan asap, given the Russian and Syrian ever tightening death grip on Aleppo. From all accounts, if and when Aleppo falls to Assad's forces, the war in Syria is effectively over for the US (although I wonder if this will be the case?). Time will tell I guess.
