Putin is in a weak position, if i was erdo i would be threatening that any stupid move by the russians will result in turkey arming ukraine to teeth and not just with tb2s.

He did give a pretty strong speech today thoughIMHO the operation will happen. Monday Erdo and Putin will talk and Erdo will make clear that we are coming in hot whether Russia likes it or not.
He is trying to push all the buttons to win elections. He desperately needs some success story. If he sends some of the temporary asylum seekers back to Syria even temporarily and deals a heavy blow to YPG this might improve his chances.He did give a pretty strong speech today though
Like I never imagined that Erdo would actually state such stuff today tbh. Its like he is telling the world we are fed up with your lies
Not only with the US or Russia, he even announced that he cancelled most of the talks with Greece and that they are liars and that the US bases are actually aimed against Turkey and not the Russians
What is the reason for going full throttle at these guys, I wonder
A pretty strong speech IMO
“It is not possible for us to leave unanswered even the slightest attack against Turkey from the north of Syria. Certain terrorist organizations have focal points in northern Syria.
These focal points are present in all those regions, from northeast to northwest of Syria. Unfortunately, all coalition forces, especially the USA, are providing serious weapons, tools, equipment and ammunition to these terrorist organizations and they still continue to do so.
The USA gave these aids to thousands of trucks. Who is he doing? PKK, YPG, PYD terrorist organizations. These aids were given to all of them, and it still continues. They even provide training to them in the region. Now, while these facts stand out, are we still ignoring them?
Just as we have operations against the PKK and its puppies in Northern Iraq, the same situation is much more valid, much more important for Syria. As I always say, one night we suddenly descend on their tops, and we have to.
Aren't we going to make them pay the price of our martyrs? We finished the job of around 30 terrorists in two days.
Together with those in northern Iraq, we have now neutralized over 100 terrorists. This process will continue, we cannot stop. We will root out terrorism and terrorists.”
First of all, everyone has to do their part (talking to the USA about the operation). America has to do its part, too.
If America does not fulfill its duty in the fight against terrorism, what will we do? We'll take care of ourselves. It is not possible to fight against terrorism by obtaining permission from somewhere.”
Today something important happened in North Iraq. Turkish forces cut the connection of Zap/Metina mountain camps of PKK as the Claw-Lock operation progresses. This is the lock phase of the operation. Now terrorists are surrounded inside those camps.
what the hell he can do if he refused? Ukraine is a all hands on deck stiuation for him. every threat he could possibly do is empty.Putin might give green light to this
Russian fighters from Hmeimim airbase can down TB2s or bomb Turkish troops.what the hell he can do if he refused? Ukraine is a all hands on deck stiuation for him. every threat he could possibly do is empty.
if they want to lose airframes, i say they go for it.Russian fighters from Hmeimim airbase can down TB2s or bomb Turkish troops.
I guess they hit the 72 hour barrier!SNA got orders for mobilization. A big SNA convoy entered the Al-Bab area.
Yeah, this was expected. Putin might give green light to this to turn the attention to Northern Syria instead of Ukraine.
