“Those who support the terrorist organization (SDF) will become a target in this battle,” Reuters quoted Turkey’s Deputy Prime Minister and Government Spokesman Bekir Bozdağ as saying.
“The United States needs to review its solders and elements giving support to terrorists on the ground in such a way as to avoid a confrontation with Turkey,” Bozdağ said.

And here either.
Ya shouldn’t have purged your military ya dork.
I said it already on these forums and I will say it again: The U.S. should recognize the Kurds and their drive for Kurdish Independence. Frak the Turks. In fact, dare the Turks to actually confront us.....
Threaten Trump? Good luck with that . . .
Wow Turkey how dumb are you? They sure get a lot of military aid... lot of F16’s they purchased. Would be a shame if they couldn’t get anything from us anymore. I mean the Russians absolutely HATE them as well.
I don’t approve of our NATO “ally” threatening us, but I also don’t approve of military support for Syrian Kurds. We either (1) overthrow Assad because we are confident of success and have a better option who will then take power, or (2) stay out of Syria. Clearly, we don’t have a better option.
You’re not dealing with Obama anymore.
Take a number. Works come first.
I agree with you. They have shown their loyalty and then some.
That’s NORKS.
No, not any more.
The problem? Assad would have been ended under Obama but for ineptness and because of the Russians, IRGC and Quds. The Iranians and some of their surrogate imports are probably 80% of Assads forces.
Trump redirected the effort to end ISIS and has largely succeeded with the Kurds and SDF help.
Assad is no longer in control, Iran is.
That won’t vanish, even if we left. Same in Iraq.
Is Turkey-Turkey-Turkey now going to join Russia-Russia-Russia?
Putin has not forgotten the Russian Jet that Turkey shot down.
He was solidifying his power and control. Out the window went his military effectiveness.
He will never rebuild it. The Kemalist might be able to. They are not much better than Erdogan when you look at it honestly. They do Genocide, that which Erdogan wants to do now. He wants to kill the Kurds in N. Syria and settle Turkmen and some Chinese there. Only problem is, Kurds will not allow it to happen. They are armed, will fight and have seen this script before. They are not dummies.
The Turks are threatening war with the United States? Is that right?
Seems to me they need to be kicked the heck out of NATO right now!!!
If Turkey attacks Syria from behind, would Greece help?
If you have not seen this article, I suggest you look at it:
CAROLINE GLICK: The U.S. Is Quietly Sidelining a Turkey in Decline

I was asked that before. Was it by you?
Answer then? No, Greece is a basket case and will never be a major influence in the Region again.
They are good people, but economically they are crippled. And defense wise it suffers from that.

Yeah. And it also would be a shame if replacement parts for those Turkish F16’s were somehow defective.
