I disagree with you. A war would strengthen the generals in the military institution, which he worked hard to marginalize.
War with Syria wud be great for Erdogan. Makes him hero of Arab Street. Gives him military legitimacy at home. Takes eyes off PKK mess.

@HAlthunayyan No. Only generals left are Erdogan's. War would make him first civilian military head to lead troops into battle. Huge win

@rezaaslan Oh no. It would be motivated in a large part BY the "PKK mess" and would be in part an effort to stamp that asap. -
@Ibishblog Thats actually what I mean. Roll PKK into war with Syria makes handling the mess easier on him. -
@rezaaslan what you are saying is overly simplistic…@ibishblog -
