You are kidding?

If you notice, the intra-kurdish talks they keep hosting are going nowhere because one of the conditions is the entrance of KDP parties in North east Syria for elections, which PKK cadres keep refusing, as PKK wants total control of the region in Syria.

It's why there is this force "Rojava Peshmerga" that is in KRG region in exile, that Turkey has trained. PKK blocks their entrance to Syria.

Evidence is in the video I posted, which you clearly did not watch.

When the guy started talking about this weapon system ending up in PKK hands I laughed, yes of course an insurgency will learn how to use an advanced weapon system like patriot. It was so stupid, I laughed. That is ignoring all the other glaringly obvious flaws in what he was saying.

Turkey recently pressured ITF to remove Salihi from a leadership position and assigned this to Turan. There are many reasons, but the most cited is Salihi's closeness with Iran. Turan is also an Islamist. It seems this has led to a fracture in Iraqi Turkmen Front, where Ersat is threatening to leave ITF and enter elections separately, which will no doubt reduce ITF even further than the meager deputies it has.

Turan is an Islamist and he is closer/friendlier to the Barzani clan. This is the main reason why Ersat Salihi is removed from the leadership of ITF. It has nothing to do with Iran. AKP is selling it this way to appease its own people.

Why the fck do we allow this shit to happen?

Cant we not meddle in peoples internal politics?

Especially our Turkic brothers just because they dont fit a certain ideology?

While the commandos were continuing their search and scanning activities in the Zap region in northern Iraq, they neutralized the PKK's so-called communications officer Ferit Yüksel in the cave on the 852-altitude hill.

This guy is ranting. It doesn't make sense at all.

The US is not pushing for a union between PKK and the KRG. They are attempting to introduce the KRG politically into PYD areas. To remove PKK influence.
Don't see how we can call that attempt "KRG", tbh. If you were to say PUK, maybe. US support to ENKS/KNC is minimal. And now US is trying to directly make up relations between PUK and PKK in Syria and looks to have abandoned ENKS.

It's the second drone loss near Kandil in a month. Might be nothing, might be everything.

It's good thing to fall or get fallen one of them some time. We can learn may counter-defence against EW or anyhing. There are a lot things to be learned.

The National Intelligence Organization (MIT) neutralized Mesut Celal Osman, one of the so-called Sinjar province officers of the terrorist organization PKK/KCK, with the operation it carried out in Sinjar, northern Iraq.
