How can they steal Syria when they paid for it through lives and national resources?? On the other hand, Turkey thats in NATO, and fed ISIS rats into Syria early in the war, managed ISIS and HTS on behalf of NATO, TUrkey has only invested poison and karma AKA law of compensation has paid Turkey FAIRLY with refugees, failed military objectives, deaths. Turkey had the option to help or hurt SYria. If Turkey was doing good, it would be receiving good from/in Syria. Russia and Iran were formally invited to help defend Syria, that is legal in international law. What is the legal justification for Turkey to be in Syria? under international law there are only 2 scenarios where military violence is legal - self defense AND proper activation of mutual defense treaty with another country. Neither of these scenarios apply to Turkey. I will wait for a Turk to tell me that Turkey had to enter Syria to "defend" herself....
