Delusional. Arrogant. Chauvinistic. Egomaniacal.
All of these words could probably aptly describe Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan at this historical moment. In a sense, referring to him as ‘president’ seems quite disrespectful to the countries that actually have a semblance of democratic institutions. Erdogan has proven himself a ‘leader’ who aspires to be a sultan, a neo-Ottoman dictator who not only sees the Kurdish people as ‘mountain Turks’ but the Turkey-Syria border as fluid and illegitimate.
Fascist. Authoritarian. Dictatorial. The friend of al-Qaeda ideologues.
With his government’s ill-named ‘Operation Olive Branch’, the 21st century Sultan has shown his willingness to join up with the most regressive and reactionary Salafist elements that can be found in the region. His women hating agenda is frontline in this ‘operation’. The mutilation of a YPJ fighter by Turkish and jihadist forces is ample evidence of the rapist ideology at work in his colonial endeavour.
While Turkey’s official news agency Anadolu and its worldwide propaganda machine TRT World play up the tactical relationship between the Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG) and the United States in order to attempt to position Turkey’s incursion into Syria as some sort of ‘anti-imperialist’ operation, the complete submission of the U.S. to Ankara’s agenda at this point – washing its hands of any association with the YPG/J in Afrin --shows that at the end of the day the Trump administration will never pick its ‘socialist’ ‘friends’ over NATO’s second largest army.
In one of the most bizarre tirades from a Turkish official, the country’s foreign minister Mevlut Çavusoglu said over the weekend, "Why are you [the U.S.] sensitive to civilian casualties from our Afrin operation [Olive Branch] but are silent to those from the YPG? Because you share the same Marxist, communist, atheist ideology".

Today is 1st anniversary of the invasion of Afrin in Northern Syria by Turkey and the FSA. Turkey employed thousands of ISIS and more al Qaeda to attack Afrin. The atrocities that followed are too often ignored in the international press.
This must be understood and remembered for what it is. It is the beginning of Turkey's assault on Western Civilization. Nothing less.

Turkey would continue intelligence/security operations abroad targeting Erdogan gov't critic members of #Gulen movement, pledges Turkish vice president Fuat Oktay on Sunday, while vowing to wipe out the threat at its source and not leaving them in peace in foreign countries.

I've been told by friends in Syria that I've known a long time and that have earned my trust many times that Turkish MiT sleeper cells were behind the bombing in Manbij Syria that killed 4 U.S. citizens recently. (along with killing and injuring many of our allies and Syrian citizens)

The suspect has been captured according to @syriahr. He allegedly escorted a woman to the restaurant and left before she blew herself up. He is seen running away from the attack scene moments before the explosion in CCTV footage.

That is what I suspected
Yes, Erdogan is never to be trusted to tell the truth on anything.
The article is 1 year old, but much of it is still accurate.
I have a hard time swallowing the Leftist portion of the article. It does not match my experience with the North Syrian Kurds.
But it is what it is. Russia is likely to have too much leverage with whatever is finally agreed upon. But it is to be seen if it is favorable to the Syrian Kurds and their allies.
As far as stability is concerned, an alliance with the Kurds it the only solution that does not allow Turkey or Iran to continue to support Islamist Terrorists.
“Is Erdogan digging his government’s grave in Afrin?”
Would that he were digging it ANYWHERE— just as quickly as possible !! End his dream of being the next Sulieman the great....
This is our problem how, exactly?
This must be understood and remembered for what it is. It is the beginning of Turkey's assault on Western Civilization. Nothing less.
The musloid world has been attacking Western Civilization for decades. That's new?
Those people can't take care of themselves, can't live like civilized human beings. That's our problem?
Contain them, observe them. Don't try to change them, they'll kill you too.

“Is Erdogan digging his government’s grave in Afrin?”
We can only hope so.....
Well, I’m not sure.
Yes, it is possible. When you make a pact with the Devil (or his children, ISIS) what do you expect?
The Kurds are still killing 10 to 20 Jihadi’s a week in Efrin (Afrin). Don’t expect that to stop any time soon.
Meanwhile, the world become more aware of the actual threat ERdogan poses for other countries.
Guess we will wait and see.
