I put it all together to:
1. Highlight the true picture of the Syrian demographics.
2. Explain how the SDF-YPG regime came into existence and the extent of its administrative mandate in Syria.
3. For what purpose, the SDF-YPG regime was created in Syria.
I clearly recognize the Turkish-PKK issue and I absolutely oppose separatists ambitions of any group in Turkey (no country would want to split on political grounds).
However, Erdogan administration want us all to believe that the SDF-YPG regime and PKK are the same entities in order to justify Turkish excesses in Syria. Turkish members here refuse to acknowledge the fact that Syrian kurd factions have been living near Turkish border for a long time and they will be uprooted by Turkish-led forces in the course of Operation Peace Spring.
PKK elements might be involved in the composition of the SDF-YPG regime at certain capacity but this regime is a recent development and not responsible for prior Turkish-PKK history. This regime is primarily focused on containing ISIS and having administrative autonomy in Syria to the extent of territories under its control - nothing more.
My contention is that Trump administration should have considered a better approach to address this matter, of allowing Turkey to create a buffer zone between Syria and Turkey.
Only this.
But here I am, facing members left, right and center, trying to cast me in negative light because I dared to have a difference of opinion about Operation Peace Spring.

What do you have to say about Turkish and Emirati hands in the most recent chapter of the Libyan Civil War? Whose camp is HALAL and whose camp is HARAM in that theater?
I shall tell you this much; Recep Tayyip Erdogan is a ruthless politician, and he is not interested in being righteous. He is only interested in strengthening his regime, to the point of meddling in the affairs of other countries if he has to.
