According to reports Germany is to give Turkey £3billion to strengthen its borders which are among the most difficult to manage. In Syria the forces of Assad are moving forward with significant support from the Russians who claim that up to 8000 fighters from the former Soviet Union have joined Isis so they want to prevent them from taking their expertise back to start trouble closer to home. 

Germany has always had close links with Turkey and Turks make up one of the largest ethnic groups, and of course there are other histiric links which I won't go into.

The question is where will it all end, how will it impact on us and the rest of the world?

Hopefully sufficiently on topic.
