Yeah, twitter is coming alive on Turkey massing troops.

Colonel is correct, but why give the other side something to rally over. Actually I think the tweet might have been much more effective had he not used the word "terrorist." and just said Turkish Army!

Am scrambling to catch up and see who the parties are involved in this mess. Seems we have a merger of several groups. SDF members made up mostly of YPG soldiers backed by the PKK. Its the PKK Turkey is using as an "excuse"

Ethnically speaking, all groups are Kurds. However the PKK is the communist wing.

PKK's have been fighting Turkey almost 40 years and is listed as a terrorist group by NATO, US et all. So, yeah its a mess. Turkey needs to stand down, but they have their own politics to deal with. Argh.

Funny how the headline and the first sentence do not reconcile. “Tells Turkey” and “Asks Turkey.”

All media in Turkey are pure state run Propaganda Agencies.

Nothing else is possible there now. The legit media are all in jail, in exile or dead.

Anyone who criticizes Erdogan the Islamist is potentially exposed to personal and/or family threat, intimidation, and murder.
