The last time I've heard of the Grey Wolves was in relation to the Turkish deep state. Looks like everyone's going international...

Wh...why would a Turkish radical group attack Bangkok?

Well, the Grey Wolves
have form; they were involved in the 1995 Azerbaijani coup d'état attempt and suspected to be behind a 1981 attempted assassination of Pope John Paul II.

I am still not sure that clearly links them to Thailand...

Azerbaijan at least has something to do with Turkey, being a current and historical ally of the Turks going back some few hundred years. Thailand?

Supposedly it has something to do with some Uyghur terrorist suspects deported back to China instead of being given safe passage to Turkey. So the assault on tourist hotspots would have been a deliberate assault on Chinese tourists.
It is still a far fetched idea tho, if you ask me. I mean. It is so far away...the only thing that makes it plausible for this theory to be true is how petty and dickish terrorists are.

Basically, the Wolves are highly linked to Turkish organised crime, and have a presence in Turkish populations throughout Asia. This ties into their ideology - they're Turkish-supremacists seeking the global supremacy of the ethnic Turkish people. In Thailand, the Turkish and Uighur communities appear to be closely interlinked, and the Wolves appear to have accepted the Uighurs as honorary Turks, tying themselves to Uighur terror groups.
What's precedent ever done for us?

My theory is that they are cray cray fuckers with way too much free time and they could use a flesh-tearing slap to the face or two.
hey look. There is actual history of the Grey Wolves attacking Thailand soil

A procrastination in of itself
So they're not so much a group from Turkey as a group connected with the ethnic Turk group?

And unsurprisingly (considering the number of Turks in Germany) they're quite strong there.
Pronounced YAK-you-luss
Oh no, they originated in Turkey (and are speculated to have murky, unspecified connections to Erdogan's government). It's just that they're very widespread, as one would expect from a group preaching Turkish dominance of the entire Asian continent.
So why aren't these nutters considered a terrorist group by most of the West?
Politics is the skilled use of blunt objects.

To clarify, the Grey Wolves are the paramilitary wing of the MHP, currently the third-largest party in the Turkish parliament. This follows on from an incident in July where MHP supporters attacked South Korean tourists, believing them to be Chinese, during a protest about the Uighur conflict.

ISIS of all targets, now that is interesting, as it implies the Assad's strategy of ignoring ISIS and focusing on killing moderate rebels is one that the Kremlin no longer approves of.

I don't think Russia's military intervention will expand towards the rest of the country. They're probably merely securing their own military assets and interests.
A nice butterfly
Even if they do that, just bombing ISIS some is good enough for something. Good to see Russia delivering some Borscht.

That wouldn't serve Moscow's interests, since the disruption ISIS causes in Iraq undermines US influence in the area.
