  • Putin will gladly accede to Iraqi requests for direct military intervention. To Turkey: “Payback is a Bitch!”. It will be hard for NATO to come to the rescue of Turkey when their tanks and troops are in Iraq illegally. In Turkey’s own words: “A country has the right to defend itself against violations of its sovereignty.”

  • Iraq May Seek “Direct Military Intervention From Russia” To Expel Turkish Troops
    by Tyler Durden, www.zerohedge.com 
    Turkey just can’t seem to help itself when it comes to escalations in the Mid-East. First, Erdogan intentionally reignited the conflict between Ankara and the PKK in an effort to scare the public into nullifying a democratic election outcome. Then, the Turks shot down a Russian warplane near the Syrian border. Finally, in what very well might be an effort to protect Islamic State oil smuggling routes, Erdogan sent 150 troops and two dozen tanks to Bashiqa, just northeast of Mosul in a move that has infuriated Baghdad.
    …
    The point is this: Iran is not going to stand idly by and let America and Turkey put more boots on the ground in Iraq which is why just hours after Ash Carter announced that The Pentagon is set to send in more US SpecOps, Kataib Hezbollah threatened to hunt them down and kill them. Not coincidentally, PM Haider al-Abadi rejected a larger US troop presence just moments later.

    Now, Abadi has given Turkey 48 hours to get its troops out of Iraq or else. Or else what?, you might ask. Well, or else Baghdad will appeal to the UN Security Council where Russia and China would likely support the Iraqi cause.

    But that’s a little too meek of a solution for some Iraqi politicians including Hakim al-Zamili, the head of Iraq’s parliamentary committee on security and defense whosaid on Sunday that Iraq “may soon ask Russia for direct military intervention in response to the Turkish invasion and the violation of Iraqi sovereignty.”
    –
    “Iraq has the ability to repel these forces and drive them out of Iraqi territory. We could also request Russia to intervene militarily in Iraq in response to Turkish violation of Iraqi sovereignty,” he told Al-Araby al-Jadeed.
