Will Turkey Milk the
US for More Money Over the PKK Issue Again?

The Turkish military
establishment who are the real government in that country regardless of who will
make it to the phoney parliament of that nation are brilliant in the art of
extortion and blackmail. For decades, the Turkish generals freeloaded off the US
and other western NATO countries because of their important geographical
location next to the old Soviet Union. With the ending of the cold war, the
generals needed to be more innovative in creating situations that would enable
them to keep the flow of cash from the west to Turkey going, but Turkey not
having a real enemy, creating one was dire to the Turkish generals’ plight.
Therefore, aside from the usual Kurdish Turkish conflict, the generals of Turkey
created their own secret groups. These groups when needed would carry out
attaches against people to make the situation seem as Turkey being attacked by
terrorists, and the Turks are in real danger. With this hoax, the Turkish
military domestically keeps their own people in a state of fear and
internationally can extort funds from their old friends in NATO. Of course, with
complete control over the media and every other aspect in Turkish society, the
task has been very easy for the Turkish generals to accomplish. Even when the
Turkish generals “goof off” and cut red handed, orchestrating these games, the
west for some reasons pretend it did not happened and look the other way.
This latest incident with
PKK is no exception either, Turkish general had seceded very brilliantly to
“stick it” to the US and the rest of world again by creating a phoney situation.
The most important help the Turkish generals got was the varying of opinion that
developed between the congress and the president in the US over the Armenian
genocide issue. While people saw president of the US publicly siding with the
Turks and showing the US’s vulnerability to the Turks in terms of US military
access to the Turkish military bases, the Turkish generals once again saw a
dollar sign dangled in front of them. Within days, the scenario was written and
the staged was prepared for another show, and gullible Americans, Brits and
other nations just went along and thought they are seeing a real life situation.
In reality Turkey is
inside southern Kurdistan for a long time, they have bases there, they have
spies there, they have attacked PKK there, even the Kurdish groups such as KDP
and PUK at times have attached PKK with them, and so this latest incident that
being magnified is nothing new.
I believe the cold war
was so long that froze the brains of many people in the west, and they have not
realized that the cold war is actually over, and they do not need Turkey that
desperately anymore. The west cannot realize that they do not need so willingly
to play along with the Turkish masquerade that is only created to milk more
money out of the west. This show only makes the Turkish generals stronger
domestically, and makes them relevant in international politics while they
should have been obsolete by now because Turkey is one of the few fascist states
remaining in the world, the only fascist state that has enjoyed unconditional
love and support of the so-called western democratic nations.
To solve the situation
permanently, the western leaders should tell the Turkish military to come out of
the middle Ages mentality and implement the minimum minority right standards
that has been prescribed by the UN, and there will not be a need for an armed
conflict anymore in Turkey and Kurdistan.
