"as Erdogan has gradually transformed Turkey from a Westernized democracy and a core member of NATO into an Islamist tyranny whose values and goals have brought it into alliance with U.S. foes Iran and Russia and into cahoots with Hamas, the Muslim Brotherhood, and ISIS."
At Sunday dinner last week with the German relatives, I wondered how long it would be before a few TOW anti-tank missiles and stingers got tossed into the mix and the Turks were given a bloody nose. According to this the Turks are much weaker and inept than I thought. Time to get the popcorn. Thanks for posting.
3 Turks tanks have been destroyed since this invasion of Syria began.
Talk about a helicopter also.
Prior to this incident, I saw a video of a Turk tank destroyed near Efrin by a TOW after they entered Turkey and fired on a village. At that time second was said to have been destroyed also.
FSA has lost a fairly large number of soldiers, Turkey has admitted to 8 Turkish soldiers dead. I saw pictures of a funeral for 5 of them.
Not pretty action, and totally unnecessary.
