If Turkey goes in, it does not look like the US or NATO will be behind them.

It looks more like the US is supporting the YPG Kurds, who have crossed Turkey’s “red line”, going West of the Euphrates River, and are massing to assault Manbij the so-called “Little London” of ISIS, where they have many of their Western recruits.

Their are recent reports of the US delivering arms and ammo to the YPG for this operation, and just today I read of US special operators arriving in Kobane to participate in the Manbij assault.

I am not sure if they are waiting for the Western offense to consolidate Azaz and Tal Rifat, before launching from the East, if Politicians were negotiating, or if they are are just waiting till they have everything ready.

But as of today, it still looks like the US is leaning forward to support a Kurdish attack on ISIS soon, despite Turkish threats to intervene.

Russia recently moved a large number of aircraft into Erebuni (Armenia) . No idea what he has planned...if anything.
