Yes, and?Recall my post at #1366:
"Nobody is talking about the 800-lb gorilla in the room, Turkey. They are the military powerhouse in the Middle East. Turkey is not friendly with Israel and they are only a paper partner in Nato. There are massive demonstrations in Turkey to get involved against the Israelis. Turkey does have an ongoing relationship with Hamas. In addition, we see Pakistan telling Turkey that if they join the fight against Israel they will supply Turkey with nuclear weapons."
Erdogan threatens to declare war on Israel and send military to Gaza in chilling warning
The Turkish president suggested in a speech at a pro-Palestine rally this afternoon that Turkey can "come at any night unexpectedly".

Turkey's president appears to have threatened to intervene in Gaza in an impassioned speech at a pro-Palestine rally this evening.
Recep Tayyip Erdogan delivered a speech to a rally this afternoon in which he told attendees Israel was responsible for war crimes, and framed Hamas as "freedom fighters".
In comments that have prompted Israeli outcry, and led the country to withdraw its diplomatic presence, president Erdogan suggested assaults on Gaza constituted a "massacre".
In the same speech, he reportedly said that Turkey can "come at any night unexpectedly” to ecstatic reception from hundreds of thousands of attendees.

This is the nightmare scenario for Israel and for the US I was contemplating. The Turks have the biggest army in the Middle East and the biggest Navy, We have nuclear weapons stored on our bases in Turkey and we have military personnel stationed in Turkey both of which could be a risk if Turkey decides to join a region-wide Islamic war against Israel. It wouldn't take more than a month for Turkey to put almost a million troops on the Golan Heights and call up even more in reserve. Just sayin. The real danger here is that Israel could be wiped off the map in such a scenario. This is why Israel cannot have a policy of collective punishment in Gaza.
Nobody gives a shit about you believing you're some sort of military mastermind.
