Turkey President Lambasts EU

      Well it seems President Erdogan of Turkey is unhappy with recent announcements from Brussels and points West.  It appears that the coup attempt has unhinged this man, releasing all his demons.  He just recently(last Tuesday) fired 15,000 civil servants/gov. employees.  This follows various censorship moves, shutting down newspapers and shuttering media outlets.
      The former agreements to provide migrant control at the Turkish border appear to be in jeopardy.  Despite the EU's provision of E3 billion's to finance the effort, the Turkish government has made statements that this agreement is being reviewed.   All this political exchange underscores the ongoing Middle East quagmire as Russya steps up aerial bombing in the Syria city of Aleppo as the Assad regime attempts to drive out rebel forces.
