The Syrian Army is depleted and divided between Kurds in the North and Muslims (non-Kurds?) in the South.
Turkey sees an opportunity to slap down the Kurds who have been making trouble in Turkey (they want their own state). Maybe Syria doesn't mind so much hosting the Turkish tanks, as long as they're only shooting at the Kurds.
I think all these people know how to do is make war. When their outfit is defeated, they defect to the winning side and make some more war on somebody else.
Their leaders are either sadistic bloody tyrants ruling with an iron fist, or quickly dispatched by sadistic bloody tyrants.
There's no history of representative democracy, only force and subjugation to whoever has the most soldiers and guns.
And this new violence will only spawn another wave of wild-eyed refugees.
Where do you get your news?
Who do you think killed ISIS (not forced out)?
Turkey is a serial practicer of Massacres and Genocide. Has never admitted a single case. Not ever. (Jewish, Greek, Armenian, Alevi, Assyrian Christian, Ezidi)
Turkey is an uninvited invader in Iraq and in Syria. Erdogan is an Islamist Dictator. Who has Neo Ottoman wet dreams.
Not once have the Syrian Kurds attacked Turkey. Not ever. Certainly not the Efrin community, which includes hundreds of thousands of displaced persons. Many Ezidi, Alevi and Christian elements.
This is not about killing Terrorists, it is about killing Kurds because Erdogan hates them. They stand in the way of his dream of being the Sultan of the Middle East. The Ottoman empire died in 1914. It will never be again. Period.
There is a long history of Kurds living and working with Arabs and Christians. The Syrian Kurds are nothing like you describe. I have very close friends there. I’ve know them for years.
You could not be more wrong about them. Or more wrong about Erdogan the Islamist who harbors escaped ISIS and embraces the Muslim Brotherhood Terrorists and Nusra (al Quaeda) Terrorists.
I know about this, have watched it for years.
