That would be out long time NATO partner Turkey, right?
Why would Turkey want this guy to lie about ISIS being allowed to flee Raqqa?
That would be our highly unreliable, increasingly Islamist “NATO ally” Turkey, run by the scumbag dictator Erdogan.
Yes, Turkey has strong disinformation interests in making the Kurds look bad, in making the USA look bad for working with the Kurds, and in making Turkish enabling of ISIS, Iran, and other terrorists get whitewashed.
I’m not saying I know this guy is wrong, I’m saying nothing coming from the Turks can be trusted and he is under control of the Turks.
