72 jets strike on 108 targets presumably with 240 Smart bombs....but 7 civilians wounded.
These terrorists even don't know how to do propaganda.

Menagh air base is not a U.S operated base. It is not operational as of now, but it's in SDF hands anyway. Russian forces were stationed near it until a few days ago, reportedly.

Finally Erdogan is back to his senses and sold MB/ALnusra in Idlib in return for taking over Afrin .
I hope Erdo understands that his support for the MB will not bring him any strategic advantage .
Hopefully Erdo will cease support for MB Affiliates in the Arab world .

reports of Syrian forces capturing ad dhur base and creating a surrouned IS/nusra pocket. After a week pause.
Suddenly the turks start their operation. I wouldn't be surprised if some sort of backdoor afrin for idlib deal might have been reached between Russia and turkey.
The kurds are going to be paying a heavy price if they think they can make themselves an American/Zionist/Saudi proxies and undermine everyone elses interests. looking at the history of American/Zionist proxies in the region. its not looking good for them

Erdo certainly has his own share in Supporting terrorism but the SDF/PYD is a group that threatens the territorial integrity of Arab countries like Syria and Iraq .
The SDF is the American tool to bully and intimidate Arab governments and the less territory they hold the better of the region .
Russians only Allowed Erdo to attack Afrin after he ended support for Islamist organizations in Idlib which is currently under attack by the Syrian Army.
Hopefully Erdo will eventually cease support for All opposition groups in Syria .
This is exactly what happened , its an excellent deal Idlib in return for Afrin .

First of all Euphrates shield was against isis, Secondly Turkey isnt going after Kurds, its going after PKK affiliates in Syria who already did terrorist attacks inside Turkey before, do you expect Turkey to sit idly when pkk offshots start carving lands out of Syria by forcefully displacing Arabs and Turkmens?
As if ypg are some saints. give me a break.
Turkey has decades long conflict with pkk, every country has its interests and Turkeys interest is to protect its national security.

Will turkey give affrin to FSA or will they keep it to themselves?
Turkish tanks reportedly reached the outskirts of the Syrian town of Azaz and were moving toward the Kurdish stronghold of Afrin, Bloomberg reported on Sunday, citing local media outlets and its sources.
According to media reports, the ground phase of Turkish operation against Kurdish fighters and Daesh positions in northwest of Syria started early on Sunday after Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan ignored Washington's calls to avoid attacking Afrin.
Earlier, Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim warned about the possible ground operation against Kurdish forces in Syria's northern Afrin district.
"Today our air force hit most of the designated targets. Tomorrow, depending on the circumstances, out ground forces will carry out the necessary work. They will move together with the Free Syria Army," Yildirim told reporters on Saturday.
However, Turkish troops will leave the northern Syrian district of Afrin as soon as the armed forces achieve the goals of the recently launched military operation Olive Branch, Turkish Deputy Prime Minister Bekir Bozdag said Saturday.
"The operation is not against our Turkmen, Kurdish or Arab brothers living there [in Afrin], but against the terrorist groups. It has been launched with a respect for Syria's territorial integrity, sovereignty and political unity, and will be carried out taking these principles into account. After the operation reaches the assigned tasks, Turkey will leave Afrin," Bozdag said, as quoted by Ihlas News Agency.
Meanwhile, Syria fired three rockets early on Sunday targeting Turkish border province of Kilis and lightly injuring one person, media reported citing local governor. According to Anadolu news agency, the rockets hit several locations in the provincial capital of Kilis and damaged some buildings in the area
The incident comes in the wake the bombardments by the Turkish Air Force targeting local Kurdish militia in the northern Syrian district of Afrin.
The military operation has already been condemned by Damascus and the Syrian Foreign Ministry claimed that Operation Olive Branch was a violation of Syrian sovereignty.
Turkey claims using self-defense under international law. According to the statement of Turkish senior military officials, the operation Olive Branch is aimed at eliminating Kurdish YPG militants along with Daesh terrorist group.
The operation started at 14:00 GMT on Saturday and over 70 Turkish warplanes conducted airstrikes in seven districts of Afrin, where 108 targets were hit.
