Problem is that Erdy has popular support. We're looking at a country democratically abandoning democracy. Assassinating the dude ain't gonna do shit, another fucker will pop right up, and probably drive the populace further into the Anti-West corner.

Hard science is like a sword, and soft science is like fear. You can use both to equally powerful results, but even if your opponent disbelieve your stabs, they will still die.

Arm more Kurds. Make a deal with the UK to take up the millions of ensuing Turkish refugees, in exchange for visa free travel to the EU for UK citizens.

Constantinople is rightful Greek clay
Fun fact: if we actually did turn Istanbul over to Greece, Greeks would become a minority in their own country. ^_^

If they do the British had better watch out for oppressed Russian minorities around the strait of Gibraltar.

Meanwhile, Erdogan went to meet with Putin to "start a new chapter in Turkish - Russian relations". Putin welcomed him with "the relations between Russia and Turkey are fully restored to what they were before, and will even become better than ever".

How adorable, the autocrat bro love.

Turkey has a decent democratic tradition and I reckon they're not too far gone just yet. So they might go back to normal if Erdogan is assassinated. And what's the point of having CIA if you're not gonna assassinate dictators you don't like?
Quote from: Lords and Ladies, by Terry Pratchett
Shoot the dictator and prevent the war?  But the dictator is merely the tip of the whole festering boil of social pus from which dictators emerge; shoot one, and there’ll be another one along in a minute.  Shoot him too?  Why not shoot everyone and invade Poland?  In fifty years’, thirty years’, ten years’ time the world will be very nearly back on its old course.
I just got chills.

Erdogan is playing with fire there. He seems kinda naive for a politician (what with shooting down that jet and all the posturing), while Putin is as cunning as they come and will exploit Erdogan in ways we can't even imagine.

Or perhaps blinded by ego as Trump is, and I'd expect that Putin would try to exploit Trump as well.

Meanwhile, the Russian intelligence agency FSB reports that they have thwarted an attack by the Ukraine on Crimea. According to them, Ukrainian special forces had infiltrated the area in an attempt to take out important infrastructure.

One FSB member was killed during the arrest of a first group of 'saboteurs'.

On sunday night, a second attempt was launched by Ukrainian special forces, this time supported by armoured vehicles.
According to the FSB, this attack was also pushed back, but one Russian soldier was killed in a 'massive firefight'.

A spokesman for the Ukraine intelligence agency says the story is completely untrue, and a false flag.
