I really like Mete Yarar, but he somehow like every other mainstream TV-Guy is talking absolutely nonsense sometimes, just to back the states policies. I hate it, when people are not telling the truth.
I do not think, that we are doing everything slowly because we are trying to avoid high casualties. Actually we are risking high casualties the way, we are trying to fight the Be Ke Ke .
We are taking the most difficult areas first and in TV they are talking about, that this is the best possible millitary step. Because Be Ke Ke than can not flee to mountains if we attack the city. But their is no millitary reason for not attacking from all sights. We have enough man power to attack from Dar Ta Izzah and El Bab advance from Tall Rifat to Afrin and close the road to Nuble and Zahraa. It would have took us 1 Month to advance to Afrin City from their and completely encircle Be Ke Ke. So it would be easyier to advance from every sight at that point.
So in TV they are talking bullshit. Because I know before the start of the operation, every expert on TV, including Mete Yarar where talking about closing that road first. But now they say, that would be ill advised and no option, because hunting or tanks would be easy for opponent...Sorry but thats bullshit. They just want to hide, that their are politcal reason prodiving us from such assault. We are advancing slow because of that and Be Ke Ke continues sending reinforcements to that area. And now also Shia Millitias joining them. That will not stop us, but will slow us down a bit. That are contraproduktive conditions, we could have easily provided.
We can not close that route and it has political reasons, because Russia has their own agenda with Be Ke Ke. They want them to accept Russian policies and they are blackmailing Be Ke Ke, with turkish offensive. Closer as turkey gets, Be Ke Ke relents more.
So that means their is a problem politicaly regarding or offensive. And it will cost us Time and brave Man to archive or millitary goals. We can fight Assad and Iranian backed Millitias, that would be no big deal. But we can not fight Russia. It seems like Russia forced us to let that door open, so they can keep negotiating with them. And if Be Ke Ke totally gives in to Russian policisies, than or operation will stop their. It would be just interesting to see, how USA would react to this situation.
So I like especially Mete Yarar and love how fluent and charismatic he is talking infront of his map. But he should stop fooling people, just because he is seen as a millitary authority in TV, cause of his Maroon Berets backround.
We need to accept the reality. Our Offensive in Afrin could succed, but it is held on wobbly ground. Not from a millitary point, but politically it´s very difficult. We have not the political power even to run that Offensive in our best way militarily. We could advance much faster, with closing that route and attack from flet areas simultaneously.
So it´s not that unrealistic that our operation could stop because of political reasons. The success of our operation does not just depend on us. Also on negotations between Russia and Be Ke Ke.
