With the tomb of Suleyman Shah the grandfather of Osman I, the founder of the Ottoman Empire in jeopardy in Syria the Turks are lacing up their boots and are engaging in the fight against ISIS. This new about face for the Turks includes the use of NATO bases. Is this a game changer for US forces as it creates a two front war?

I don't know if Turkey is legitimately fighting them, just as Iran isn't going to legitimately fight them. Iran actually aligns more w/ them on their religious beliefs (Sunni vs Shia). Turkey is publicly forced to do something against ISIS/L due to the barbarity of their actions, however, they share a 'common enemy' - the Kurds.

I honestly think they are following battles fought by the Ottoman Empire. They plan on annexing Turkey & using it as a gateway into Europe. They also appear to be building towards trying to get another door into Europe via Spain (the Moors).

Yes is does look that way and using history as their teacher are trying to counter all we need is a southern front in Spain.

Exactly. Just like Patton used history to get back into Italy via Sicily!
