Same feelings here! Except your comment in last paragraph where you mention AK party supporters being happy. If you investigate who they really are, you will find that 90% of them are poor and lowly educated (primary school or lower) ignorant group of people who will applaud on anything their leader will say. So they don’t really know what the realities of Turkey are. The other 10% or so, are people who are the beneficiaries of AK party decisions. So they don’t give a sh.t.
When they were in cahoots with Feto&Co, AK party leaders were supporting ISIS. According to then FM; ISIS were a bunch of some youngsters who were angry with the Syrian regime.
They gave us this sick and impossible to cure baby called Syria in our hands. After US and Feto tried to topple the government and endangered the lives and livelihood of AK party leaders the Syrian policy changed 180 degrees. Now our poor soldiers are dying. Unfortunately Turkey is being managed and governed by people who can be easily “deceived”; as they have admitted in the past that they have been deceived. (Feto, Obama etc etc)
So keep fighting!
Where the americans and europeans completely miscalculated was in judging Turkeys military capability and resolve to fight. They were expecting Turkey to be another typically useless middle eastern/muslim army.
They thought if they create enough problems in Syria Turkey would be either be to scared enter because of american/russian threats against Turkey, or if they did enter they would end up suffering many causalities and much like the iran/iraq war be unable to take land.
For example when Turkey moved into the east of syria, the americans and europeans had planned on their ypg terrorist army to drag Turkey into a quagmire that would last many months with Turkey gaining nothing. It took the Turks 3 days to completely break the ypg lines only for their western saviours to rush in and create another "ceasefire" to curtail Turkish gains and keep their communist terrorists alive. They tried to play the same games in the recent Karabagh war rushing to create ceasefires to the armenians advantage.
The truth is where 'ever we see the Turkish military involve herself we are seeing results, whether it be the idlib retaliation that shocked the world, when the Turks wiped out over 3000 iranian shia terrorists in 3 to 4 days of conflict. To Libya where the GNA was revived from death to even send the russian wagner boys running, to most recently support in Karabagh which left Russia sitting in a corner as their ally got destroyed for the entire world to witness.
Ironically all of these designs, agendas and threats on Turkish sovereignty has lead to a Turkey that finds herself expanding. Bases in Iraq, Syria, Libya, Cyprus, Somalia, Qatar, Albania, with more bases to come in the future, especially as we see Turkey expand into Ukraine and Azerbaijan. All of these attacks on Turkey is reviving an imperial past for the Turks.
