Turkey sends tanks into northern Syria
BBC ^ | 8/24/16

Posted on 08/24/2016 8:16:33 AM PDT by Lera

urkish tanks and other vehicles have rolled across the Syrian border after heavy shelling of an area held by so-called Islamic State (IS).

Military sources told Turkish media 70 targets in the Jarablus area had been destroyed by artillery and rocket strikes, and 12 by air strikes.

Turkish-backed Syrian rebels who are following the advance say they have entered the town of Jarablus itself.

The operation is aimed against both IS and Kurdish fighters.

Turkey shelled Syrian Kurdish forces in the region this week, determined not to let them fill the vacuum if IS leaves.

US Vice-President Joe Biden warned Kurdish forces in Syria they would lose US support if they advanced west of the River Euphrates.

[[Just a coincidence that Biden was just there. Look for some quid pro quo deal with Turkey whereby they go after ISIS in Syria and the US extradites Muhammed Fethullah Gülen to Turkey.]]

No coincidence what so ever . The winner of the Nobel Peace Prize just started another front in this war.

Turkey vs Kurds
US supports Kurds as long as they stay out Syria proper

US vs Syria
US allies with Turkey
Russia supports Syria

Keep your eye on the week before October and the entire month of October (High Holidays).

Also, next year the total solar ‘great American eclipse’ - 4 weeks before the High Holidays.

“This eclipse will be one for the record books. According to Space.com, there hasn’t been an a total solar eclipse that’s gone coast-to-coast across the U.S. since 1918, and according to USA Today, this is the first time a total solar eclipse has been seeable only in this country since its founding.”

The sun relates to ‘the nations’ the moon, Israel.

...”If Turkey’s invasion of Syria stems the tide of these so-called Syrian refugees to the US, then I am 100% for it.”....

It won’t...Turkey’s intention are more far reaching than that...so you better hope they retreat from this.

said, "Anyone else gettin’ that Wag the Dog vibe here ?"

I'm not so sure about that.
Remember the chain of events
Turkey shooting down the Russian plane. NATO not backing Turkey with Russia, the coup d'eta, the arrest of tens of thousands of pro-democracy anti-Islamic people. the US pulling our nuclear weapons out. now this.

How would it this fit?

There is a strange star alignment too on Rosh Hashanah (2017)
that fits a description in the Book of Revelation that will be visible over Jerusalem.
