In guerrilla warfare mode the Kurds are hammering them. In one night they killed 16 and injured another 10 in downtown Efrin.
Turks and their militia’s are however doing damage to the locals who chose to stay. In some instances the FSA has simply told owners of nice homes to move out, yes they just put them out on the street. This will get worse as time goes by. No real word on the Ezidi’s. Have heard a report of 17 captured being taken as sex slaves.
The amount of Turk propaganda on Twitter is huge. Literally thousands of entities, probably hundreds of people actually at the key board. Some of the most revolting statements made by them. Totally disgusting pictures. Subhuman vermin.
The civilian humanitarian situation is very bad. Local cities are helping as much as possible, but with over 167,000 documented displaced persons the logistics are huge. I’m told the only local groups that are actually on the ground helping are Syrian and Kurd elements of the Red Crescent (muslim equivalent of the Red Cross).
Here is their statement of situation:

Part of me agrees. Part of me says let them be Russias problem. After all, after the Turks kill a few Russian soldiers for not being Muslim, the Turks will learn to the hard difference between a benevolent US force in their craphole nation and having Russia there. Either way you make a good point.
Stand by kicking Turkey out of NATO though. Or do you see something Im missing there?
