LIVE! Erdogan lanceert invasie van Koerdisch Noord-Syrië, Ruttes keurkorps heeft er zin in

Nou jongens, NAVO-lidstaat gaat NAVO-bondgenoot van de kaart vegen.

Geen eigen luchtmacht, nagenoeg geen anti-luchtdoelwapens, hun tunnelnetwerk en fortificaties eigenhandig vernietigd als onderdeel van de de Turks-Amerikaanse bufferzone-deal, een open veld, bijna geen strategische diepte tussen hun voorlinie en civiele bevolking, en geen enkele mogendheid die hen steunt. Dat zijn de komende dagen de Koerdische kaarten. Afrin gaven ze wijselijk zonder al teveel tegenstand op, maar steeds meer wijst erop dat dit ditmaal geen optie voor ze is. Binnendruppelend beeldmateriaal, na de breek!

Update: een petitie die natuurlijk toch niks uithaalt en bovendien nog 85K handtekeningen nodig heeft alhier, al is het maar voor de vorm.
Update: de eerste burgerdoden door Turkse air strikes lijken te zijn gevallen. "An hour-long of artillery and aerial bombardment that killed civilians and injured many others."

#Turkey-backed #FSA is combat ready. Turkey wants to capture Manbij, Tal Abyad and Rasalayn. The goal is to de-facto encircle #YPG in Kobane and separate it from Qamishli. Everything else is for now not true.

If things weren't complicated enough, ISIS have just claimed a large attack north of #Sukhana, Homs, killing 17 SyAA and the seizure of weapons, ammunition and vehicles. Seen here is a ZU-23 equipped Technical, presumably firing at regime forces. IS didn't go away, at all.
