First the first time Isis and PYD fanboys agree that Turkey is their common sworn enemy
1) Isis fanboys accuse Turkey of being American Crusaders mercenaries .
2) PKK/PYD fanboys accuse Turkey of being Jihadists Islamists and isis allies .
Sad to see that in these days you have to lower...
Appears Turkey has full control over its proxy groups in Syria , they all retreated fast few days from Aleppo city to Al-Bab crossing . Now these groups will be used in Al-Bab offensive .
Islamists are blaming these Group retreat for the resiege of Aleppo . Regardless Turkey should consider...
American policy with their allies always keep a thorn behind their back . They will either give up PYD or Gulen . Imagine if Americans gave both to Turkey , then how can they pressure you in the future ?
The goal of the operation to End PYJ and Isil , when you finish Isil first then there is no excuse for them to support pyj . They always say pyj should not be attacked since that benefits isil .
For now , but in the future they will be forced to accept it .
Seems this is what is happening , there are reports of a meeting between Hakan fidan and Syrian goverment security official Hassan memluk .
Not yet , Americans will not allow it , for now it will be Al-BAB then Manjib .
There has to be an agreement with Russians at-least before such action takes place east of Euphrates .
Seems there was a deal between Russia and Turkey , Aleppo city inexchange for a safe zone under Turkish control . All Turkish backed rebel groups retreated past few days from Aleppo and joined Euphrates shield operation .
I hope this deal will also include banning formation of a kurdish region...
Yeah right while at the same time isis killed hundreds of Turkish citizens through terrorism and Turkish backed forces kicked them out of more than 20 villages and close to sealing off Turkish/Syrian border.
The only thing we can see is Germany supporting terrorism against Turkey through PKK...
FSA can take Al-Bab country side but not Al-Bab itself , they will need ground support in specific locations to take the whole town .
Basically they need the same support PYJ got , special forces on the ground clearing trenched locations they cant take .
Saleh Muslim and Murat karayalin
When your national security is in threat then you have to intervene , this would be a point if you were talking about Turkish soldiers fighting in Afghanistan , but a country right next to your door where a group that threatens your internal border integrity is advancing then you have no choice...
This is the only way to end Kurdish corridor which would even be a bigger meat grinder in the future . Again the main fighting force will still be local , Turkish participation will be limited to Artillery , intelligence and armor .
Bab will be tough though , its like a small example of how...
These troops will join in Al-Bab offensive later on , FSA cant take Al-Bab on its own . This is where Isil will put a heavy fight , there are around 2,000 Isil members entrenched in that town .
The Fall of Bab puts an end to Isil in Aleppo Governate and Kurdish peasants dream of corridor to...
Accepting such a ceasefire now will cost Turkey in the future . SDF are now advancing from Yifrin close to Al-Bab . Controlling manjib is essential to end the Kurdish corridor dream .
No invasion and if it does happen it will be a limited safe zone on Turkey borders beside two main countries in this exercise pakistan and egypt are against intervension in syria .
Well I agree with you here arabs and turks mostly hate Egyptians unfortunately so they will most probably ally with russia . Egypt is facing threats from turkish/Qatari backed islamists groups in sinai and libya in addition to a hostile neighnour in the south "sudan" nevwe to forget ethiopia dam...
