Border clashes with ISIS late last month got Turkey to announce a formal policy shift toward a more directly anti-ISIS position. They offered a pair of air bases for the US and other coalition warplanes, which the US have just now begun using.
Turkey’s recent focus on wars with the Kurdish PKK, however, have raised questions about whether they are really going to do much against ISIS. Turkey insists they are, however, saying today that the “comprehensive battle” against ISIS will be carried out “soon.”
Turkey is envisioning the creation of a “safe zone” carved out of ISIS and Kurdish territory inside northern Syria, but questions about how big this will be and whole will actually run it remain unanswered. Likewise, Turkey has ruled out ground troops, so the idea that it can be created at all remains highly speculative.
Whatever the Turkey-US alliance intends for northern Syria, however, they are keeping many of the details to themselves. That’s not sitting well with Syria, which insists national sovereignty demands they be given at least some role in coordination of the anti-ISIS fight. The US has repeatedly ruled this out, and Turkey has been overtly hostile to Syria for years now, so it seems unlikely.
Is there some mental paradign happening , Syria is a target of US program of destabilization and either we kill or will pay millions to someone to kill Syrias President for a chance st replacing him durinhg a regime change, at least that was the plan began 20 yearsago, and Syria wants the US and its allies to tell them when they will hit ISIS.
ISIS that US Israel and the ARab allies such as Jordan , Turkeys Saufis and UAE, and even backbiter shifty eyed Egyptian military
And Libya after Ghadaffi supported?Us is only bombing ISIS because their on the knees or brnt ovrr cherk spreading recruits realy suck, too much time in Qtars hotels with Hillary and liar kerry.
Israel has very lijely used a small neutron upon Syrian base and lets its pilots get trigger time on poorly defendrd Syrian population.
Now I know some of those guys been bedding down together in the desert for many years now but not the leaders of the nations, well US Euro allies who are in-bedded nations exempt as they genuflux
naturally. But are ee not telling Israel that we will kill em all and to just be patient then they can claim thr Kingdom boundarys.
Media pretends to kournalistic standards but their standards are set by political agendas so the regurgitate propaganda and are well paid to do so.
Joe Biden wanted to divide Iraq, he have, to a point, succeed. His idea was for Kurdish to have their own country in north, shieet in middle and Sunni ISIS all over. But Turkish Erdogan regime don't agree, which is the reason for ISIS survival. But there is a problem, Kurdish fighters that are on the ground and fighting ISIS are the problem according to Turkish Erdogan regimes, it is not ISIS, the Sunni Muslims that are the third party in dividing Iraq, is the Turkish Erdogan Sunni regime that wants to dominate the region.
