This will not end well for Turkey, the Middle East or anyone.
An attempt by Erdogan to save his IS.lamist buddies in Raqqa from extinction.
And an excuse to kill Kurds and Ezidi's. And it took place on the 102nd anniversary of the Armenian Genocide.
Screw Turkish Islamist.
Turkey/Syria Ping
There is no love between the Kurds and the Turks. More to follow, I am sure. I expect to see unrest in the southern part of Turkey eventually.
I wonder how much of this Barzani has sanctioned (he recently met with both Erdogan and the Mullahs in Tehran and the subject in both cases was Kurdish groups Iran and Turkey are fighting). The Kurds fighting in northern Syria are not on good political terms with Barzani. I am told, in that vein, they keep the official Iraqi Kuridistan Pesh Merga out.
...."Like attracts like"......
I read about it early this morning. Finally made fox
Turkish jets bomb US-backed forces in Iraq, Syria, US officials say
Lost 30 Kurds. Turkey needs to be roasted.
With Turkey as a NATO "ally", we, and NATO, don't need enemies.
