The United States is pressing Turkey to halt military strikes on Kurdish targets in Syria. State Department spokesman John Kirby says Ankara and the YPG both understand the serious threat posed by ISIL, adding Washington is working to de-escalate tensions.

He urged all parties to focus on the common threat, and work towards a cessation of hostilities, which was agreed in Munich on Friday among world powers.

Russia has warned that the world has plunged into a new Cold War over the Syria issue.

Soon keywords list of your post will be overflowing with words like putinista, putinbuttboy. The list will become at least 20 words long. It is followed by replies extolling the regional leadership of Turkey and Saudi.

Me thinks Bambi has his panties in a "wad" over concerns Russia has had about enough of Erdogan's interference in its mission to wipe out ISIS in Syria - might pay him to.

Turkey's Erdogan, on the other hand, seems rather oblivious to his own mortality.

Please tell me it was just fat fingers and unfortunate typing...the Kurds have always been friendly to the west and merely wanted their own space

I wouldn’t doubt it, nor Obama harboring similar aspirations.

John F’n Kerry will bloviate for a while, then fart in their general direction.
