On Saturday, Turkey’s Defense Ministry reported 12 members of the Syrian Kurdish YPG were killed in support fire. This was retaliation for three Turkish soldiers who were killed in an IED attack.
The soldiers were killed in Akcakale, along the Syrian border with the town of Tal Abyad. Turkey says the bomb was “put there by terrorists.”
They responded with fire across the border, killing 12. This brings the YPG toll to 20 over 24 hours, as another eight were killed on Friday in a separate attack at the border.
Details on which Kurds they were or what they were doing isn’t clear, as Turkey treats the Kurds as terrorists as a matter of course, and rarely offers insight into what they’re doing to them, beyond killing them.
Turkey is beside itself with desperation, trying so hard to finish what ISIS started. Turkey must be thrown out of NATO, they are subhuman filth.
Throw out all the Eastern European countries that offer nothing of value to the US, except being tripwires for nuclear war.
The Turkish Lira seems to be continuing its recovery.
They must have come to some accommodation with the US; they continue the costly north Sri occupation, the US stops punishing them for buying Russian equipment.
