Go on...
I don't think most of you care about Turkey, or what's going on there, since you wanted me to go on,
as a secular, not so bad educated Turk, let me give you a brief situtation....
Back in 2002, a Machiavellian, vulgar politician came into power, his name is Erdogan.
He's a spineless pro-islam demagogue, who had problem with secular Turks, over the last 16 years he turned Turkey from upside down.
Secular army destroyed with false accusations, Turkey started to have problem with all neighbouring nations.
Over the last 4 years he's bullying against USA and E.U.
Funny thing is, he was pro EU
Maybe you heard unsuccessful coup in July 2015,
FETO, a radical islamic secret organisation backed up by CIA unsuccessfully tried to overthrow Erdogan (FETO actually helped Erdogan come into power)
Anyway, Erdogan's expiry date is due, he's no use for USA, also a massive economic crisis will struck Turkey soon.
Erdogan is playing patriotism game, so he has sent troops over Northern Syria, to stop Nationalist Kurdish Terrorist Organisation.
USA is backing Nationalist Kurds over there,
A desperate Erdogan can lead Turkey into something stupid (A massive economic collapse will ruin him, so he will be radicalised even more)
Turkey seem so futile and small from other side of the ocean, but actually its geopolitical position is invalueable.
Turkish War Hero Ataturk defeated British Navy and other imperial western armies in Gallipolu and founded Modern Turkish state.
Turkey was the only muslim state that wasn't a colony for many decades.(Actually a secular state, as Turkish Republic has no official religion)
Ataturk was an atheist, he detested Islam but he knew better to disguise his resentment of Islam and Turkey became the only real secular predominantly Muslim populated state.
I sense that Turkey will be no more, with coming massive economic collapse and Gaddafi or Saddam like demise of Erdogan, Turkey will fall.
Turkey play major role in delicate balance between Western and Eastern civilization.
I don't have foresight for long term but 3rd World War may have something to do with this.
