Why would ISIS bite the hands of Turkey that feeds and sustains them ?
Ah Best Beloved, have you not heard the tale of the frog and the scorpion?
A scorpion was at the edge of a large body of water in the hot-and-sandy-sphere. (Insert Nile, Red Sea, Tigris, Euphrates or whatever).
He wants to get across the water, but cannot swim. He spies a Frog.
Scorpion: O Frog, I wish to cross to the other side, but cannot swim. You can, will you give me a lift to the other side?
Frog: Gerroff - you're a scorpion. You'll sting me and I'll die.
Scorpion: But if I sting you and you die, I will drown, for I cannot swim.
Frog: Seems reasonable - climb aboard.
So the scorpion climbs on the frog's back, and the frog starts swimming across the body of water. Halfway across, the scorpion stings the frog.
Frog: You fcukwit! What did you do that for? Now we'll both die!
Scorpion: My friend - this is the Middle East you know .............
