Bump. Final ISIS pocket to be eliminated will be those who took over with Turkey in Efrin (Afrin) When the fighting is over in the East of Syria, It will be taken to Efrin again. They are moving radical Jihadi’s from Idlib to Efrin.
Erdogan may have his military busy elsewhere before then. Not making predictions when. Without the Jihadi’s (ISIS, al Qaeda (Nusra) and the Chinese Muslims he is not nearly as tough except for our NATO aircraft. He has even arrested another 120 Turkish Air Force personnel by naming them associated with Kurds. At some point, Turks will face Kurds. If there is an airpower leveler, Turks might lose.
No way American air is going to strike Turkish troops, as part of a deliberate operation. Any American aid would have to be covert/through third parties.
