I’ve read several reports from multiple sources indicated that US forces were in the midst of artillery. Maybe not targeted, and I’m sure the folks on the ground might offer clarifying opinion, but bet they aren’t ignoring it.

The description I read was “bracketed” by artillery.

Assuming the Turks are using the 155mm guns that we sold them or they are building themselves, a South Korean SP gun, that means that it was at least a hundred meters or so away, but that would be awfully, make a mistake and you got a war with Uncle Sam stupidly close. I’m guessing the Turks gave themselves a lot of safety margin.

Once you learn to read Fake News, you realize that you are probably “bracketed” by the Atlantic and Pacific oceans and it aint that alarming.

The US forces already left. That’s why the Turks are attacking.

Turkey is a NATO ally. Syria is aligned with Russia.

If US forces were to get involved it would be on the side of the Turks, per NATO treaty. Why on earth do you want to help Assad defend his border?
