News reports from this morning indicated that Turkey's brutal dictator Erdogan had suddenly issued an apology to Russia, for shooting down one of its military jets.  

Erdogan is not a leader known for making apologies, so the apology was highly uncharacteristic. The question becomes whether or not Turkey's apology, the latest news coming out of the EU that the furious EU Globalists would no longer be allowing members to leave, while ejecting all members sovereignty, creating a super-state army, and recent movements within & without NATO, may all be connected....

At least 31 people have been killed in an attack on the main airport in Istanbul, a senior Turkish official has told the Associated Press. Initial indications suggest Islamic State was behind the attack, the official said.

Figures suggested up to 50 people had been killed - however , that has now been downgraded.

A German woman named Duygu, who was at the airport, told Reuters: "Everyone started running away. Everywhere was covered with blood and body parts. I saw bullet holes on the doors."
