Can someone with more knowledge give me an opinion of what this TB2 is doing there or might be doing?
Turkish drones look into places all the time. It might be as usual as following a traffic stop, supporting a special forces operation, or even prepatory actions for a larger operation. There's no way to know.

I expect you to support your government against Israel and America during these critical moments despite any differences you might have. Israel and America are no friends of the Turks.

There is no such thing as friends when it comes to relations between states. It is cooperation along the lines of mutual benefits and interests, political understanding, good trading partner relations and historic connections that tie populations to each other.
If any of those bonds are broken or one steps on the other one’s foot, then good relations breakdown.

Political games your leaders play are the important ones that decide who your so called friends/partners are. So it is important to choose the right leaders to be at the helm of your interests to guide the country in the correct way with the right calculated decisions. If not performed well, or they put their political ambitions ahead of their country or “be deceived” too often by your “friends and partners”, your country either end up being a pariah state and/or become hostile with all your neighbours. Once friends, will turn against you very quickly.

Erdogan doesnt give a shit his kissing Dems ass because he wants to stay in power.

A clown would destroy his entire country to rule over the ashes.
I am not a fan of Erdogan but I think the state has realized they cannot stop a federal state in Syria. That‘s why they started the reconciliation process with PKK. Given strong US and Israel backup, the cost of attacking SDF will be very high for Turkey. Especially, economically it will be ruinous. The alternative strategy they follow now is to delay and restrict the degree of autonomy for SDF in Syria as much as possible. This we are doing by barking loud. I would also suggest some controlled tension on top of this by some limited military incursions here and there without provoking US too much. With this strategy we can gain enough time to get stronger militarily and economically. Currently we are just a nice prototype weapon systems paradise. In the near future we can become something like Israel, powerful militarily but surrounded by enemies Greece, Russia, Iran, and Israel and PKK at the south. Still, as long as we are strong militarily, technologically, and economically and Europe is dependent on us for its defence, we have more leverage in the world it may not matter that much, it may even motivate us further. And if the south ever makes the mistake of wanting more, than they should know no one will be able to help them at that time.
