Reader T.J. sent in this link showing the “technical failure” that Ankara (Turkey) claims was the cause of its helicopter crash. Excerpt: “If a heat-seeking missile breaking an aircraft in half is seen as technical failure, that would be accurate.”
The value of this article is that it shows just how complicated things have gotten in the region. The PKK is one of the strongest anti-ISIS fighters in the area. The U.S. supports the Kurdish YPG fighters with close ties to the PKK. The U.S. and Turkey are in the same anti-ISIS coalition, but Turkey actively targets the PKK. Russia also targets the ISIS forces, yet constantly tangles with Turkey. The military and political wars in Syria and Iraq further complicate the issues. Is your head spinning yet? It’s hard to believe that the world has not entered WWIII yet, because of this region.
