Judge Pirro asks former UN Ambassador John Bolton why the Turkish tanks are sitting idle, within striking range of the ISIS terrorists, allowing the slaughter of Kurdish forces and civilians to take place.
Bolton says the Turks have what he calls “very mixed motives,” reminding us that it was a serious of winks and nods from the Turkish government that permitted the ISIS fighters to get into Syria in the first place. He says their “Main interest is in preventing the struggle from coming into Turkey.” Adding, “They don’t have any interest in defending the Kurds. They’ve had their own long, very difficult relationship with the Kurds and I don’t think they mind all that much that these two sides are going after each other.”
Bolton characterizes the display as “A good demonstration of just how complex the environment is there and how even a NATO ally like Turkey can have its own interests first rather than the overall interest, what should be the overall interest of stopping the ISIS terrorists.”
They point to internal strife between the Turkish government and their Kurdish population as being a factor, with the relative independence of Iraqi Kurdistan as further incentive for Turkey to remain out of the conflict. Bolton says we can’t count on Turkey nor should we automatically jump to their defense, that they “come to this fight with very unclean hands.”
Bolton believes that the hands off policy of the Turkish government may have created more problems domestically through demonstrations against Turkey’s indifferent attitude. Bolton says that all of these events “Reflect the utter lack of leadership of the United States.”
He adds that “If we had a coherent strategy to deal with ISIS, if we were acting effectively against it, it would be a lot easier to bring Turkey and many others into line.
Bolton details how Turkey wanted these jihadis to get into Syria to fight Assad how now that decision is coming back to bite them. He doesn’t believe we can count on Turkey, that it is more important to garner assistance from the Arab states.
