I think we all saw this coming
"They did well when they fought with us and they didn't do so well when they didn't fought with us" well that's true.
Russia benefiting from the pullout is okay because they got a lot of sand over there to play with.
We need the desert fox to rise up from grave and show some blitzkrieg tactics
They were instrumental in successfully operation in fighting ISIS and carried the heavy load of causalities. Now hundreds of ISIS have been free.
Just a pure clown show
"Turkish invasion force gets whooped in Syria" is a far cry from "The Republic of Turkey being attacked in an act of war."
If Erdogan plans to spin that at the NATO meeting in an attempt to invoke Article 5's mutual-defense provision, I think he's going to be in for a rude awakening.
"An attack on one NATO country is an attack on all NATO countries", but no one is really attacking the country of Turkey now, are they? The Syrians just want to kick the uninvited and fully-armed Turkish guests out of their own home, with a little help from the BFF that they previously invited over to hangout.
I'm thinking we could use a separate thread on "What Donald Trump thinks about Turkey vs. Syria/Russia Today" for all the folks who are here for the sole purpose of talking about what Trump thinks, even though it's entirely irrelevant to the subject matter at this point - just like the West's involvement in this conflict itself.
That way the rest of us can focus on what's actually happening on the ground between Turkey/Syria/Russia. Things that actually matters. Lord knows it's already hard enough to tell real news from fake news as it is, without the endless stream of utterly pointless loud noises constantly being thrown into the mix.
So it appears Turkish proxy forces have been releasing ISIS prisoners and executing Kurdish prisoners. What an absolute fuck up.
Considering Trump kick-started this mess, who else are people supposed to criticize?Honestly.
This is an opportunity for some serious geopolitical conversation as this unravels except it's being used to whine about Donald Trump.
