Atatürk rebelled against the ottoman empire too, any nation would have done it as an empire collapses, frankly bringing up events from hundreds of years ago is stupid

Not a year, weeks. The air campaign is also targeting infrastructure and causing few casualties. Gas

The statements by parties allied with AKP are troublesome. Also:

The old woman that was kidnapped

3 days ago - "Zionist entity is dying"

Iran is definitely involved. Israel is the most advanced military and intelligence native to the middle east (excluding America). I think the people saying that Israel allowed this to happen for politics are wrong, the propaganda alone from this event is going to haunt them for years. Every...

Idlib bombing is getting worse Casualties so far likely in the hundreds and civilians fleeing to TR.

The statement isn't deleted: https://www.inherentresolve.mil/NEWSROOM/News-Articles/Stories-Display/Article/3551052/combined-joint-task-force-operation-inherent-resolve-responds-to-threat-reaffir/

Different statement from the call readout. "Reserve the right to self-defence". Also they state harm to civilian population. These statements are used to build consensus in both the international community and the local population against TR. US is okay with this, meaning they are state...

Refugees won't return to this and can't legally be forced to.

At the same time, it was one of the largest bombing campaigns of Idlib. If TR bombing is over, it would mean US only gave them permission for a short period. Also during the SAA bombing, one JÖH was killed and several injured after their base was bombed: This occurred during the...

Regrettable ? US knew what drone it was before it came within 500m, this drone doesn't need to be within 500m to launch munitions. The US has systems to monitor everything in that airspace. Wouldn't the anka have IFF? The US did it on purpose to change the calculations on the TR side and...

What's your definition of functioning? I think you would mean international recognition of automous status? Regarding Iraq - yes, but I think in this case with water Iraq has the uncontrolled leverage in this situation as if it becomes uninhabitable, major amounts of the population will move to...

Yes, a slow down. But if it is significant enough for them to say, "all our energy and water stations were damaged, entire population is in dire need" the west will immediately provide aid. This might even improve the situation to beyond the initial before the strikes. Weaponizing water is a...

The same strikes occurred last year, this account says they were repaired in 2 days. Yes, shows total failure of the government last two decades that the PKK is a state now, one I think Erdogan is delaying negotiations with until after elections.

Also, it is very unlikely that the order to shoot down the drone came from centcom, as US soldiers know TR wouldn't target them. it was likely a local US commander. If it was from higher up, it shows much more aggressive posturing towards TR in the future.

Wonder what the other options are

Yes but hitting civilian infrastructure like power distribution and oil isn't going to be the right way moving forward. 1.) That stuff is cheap and easy to replace, it won't cost the US even as much as the anka they shot down. The revenues won't even be worth that much. The EU would even be...

Yep. This is the US telling Erdogan to fuck off. Erdogan does not have escalation dominance with the US, the US can go higher than TR can.
