Bad idea.
Real bad idea, Erdogan.
If true, this will get out of hand.

So you do approve of coups?
Erdogan is flat out lying. He plainly stated that Turkish forces first entered Syria to establish a buffer zone along their border.
The Bush administration almost expanded the war into Syria because Jihadists were operating there and have camps and carried out attacks from there on coalition forces. That is history, now, supposedly, ISIS is being fought but it is a mix. Russian prop would say they fight all terrorists now. Assad has been a big buyer of ISIS petrol; look it up; just stating facts.
Read the article, looks like Turkey sent ground forces into Syria last August, had to withdraw air support for those troops in October. Non-story.
This member of NATO(?) wants to start WWIII?
“We entered [Syria] to end the rule of the tyrant al-Assad”
Sounds like a declaration of war.
This is aggression on his part, outside of NATO. He will have to deal with Syria, the Kurds, The Russians, and the Iranians on his own.
The Gulf Arabs will probably send money, but when push comes to shove, the Turks are out on a limb by themselves.
Where are the end of times prophecy guys, with Gog and Magog squaring off over a hot battlefield?
