According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, 2,700 Turkish military vehicles have been sent into Syria in the past 19 days, along with some 7,400 soldiers sent over the same period.
These deployments have come with Turkish officials vowing to reverse the Syrian government’s gains in Idlib Province, and has continued amid Erdogan’s threats of a war across all of Syria’s territory.
This puts more context into what Turkish officials have presented as peacekeeping, but which looks a worryingly lot like an outright invasion. This is the second Turkish invasion of Syria in the past several months, with other troops sent to the Kurdish territory.
Turkish push for a war in Syria is aimed to prevent al-Qaeda losing control over the Idlib Province. The big risk is that Turkey is going to drag Russia into this conflict.
The Turks actions/reactions shows why they did not fulfill the agreement.
They will not fulfill new agreements.
The Turks are only loyal to the terrorist groups, whom they whole
heartily support and defend.
Not sure that’s 100% accurate. There’s no doubt Dr. Recep Tayyip Frankenstein is a fool. He created a monster, and now he doesn’t know what to do with it, but he knows he doesn’t want it within Turkey.
E J Magnier was on Fault Lines last week. He thinks Erdoğan’s temper tantrums are all an act, that the Syrian offensive and shipping terrorists to Libya are just Erdoğan’s cover for using the Russians and Syrians to eliminate his problem.
Without air support Turks can’t do much to keep their cutthroat proxies going. These vehicles get bombed regularly by RuAF as soon they goes deep enough, which results in deaths and Turkish retreats while the SAA takes care of the rest. Over and over again. Erdogan has done one stupid thing after another which always resulted in major backfire in Turkey proper. The single most retarded thing he could think of was arming the cutthroats with MANPADS (it was Turkish forces that downed the Syrian helicopter) and Turkish forces were filmed firing those on Russian jets yesterday. The jets released flares and had their countermeasures on and wasn’t harmed.
When his Uighur and Uzbek proxies thinks he’s not doing enough for them they’re gonna turn these MANPADS against Turkish civilian airliners until he does. It’s just a matter of time, hours probably, as Russia and Syria are deat set to finish what Erdogan signed on to but ultimately lied about. Blowback is indeed a b*tch.
