[ UN can go save the day ]

That is what they are for, let them pay for it, send their blood to be shed for it...

The UN owes us backrent anyways.... Hundreds of years of backrent too.

I DON’T CARE!

The UN can fix it, It is not our problem...

“” “” Give the Kurds MANPADS
and a CAP with an aerial exclusion zone””” “

LOL. Turkey is one of the top military powers in the World. The only one after US in NATO worth a thing. Yes, a NATO ally. And you want to fight them over some far left commie mountain tribe? In order to be consistent you need to start with disbanding NATO first.

“” “” Funny that we have not heard a word from Assad or Russia.”” “”

They’d register their displeasure through 4th deputy heads of 19th departments of their foreign ministries.
The ministers themselves and the military will speak once the Kurds are tamed by the Turks.
Assad and Putin will smile and say Erdogan he is a good boy.

Ask any Syria deployed SF . The YPK Kurds have been the best allies we ever had over there. F the PKK. Don’t abandon our war fighter allies for the stinking Turks

That’s to be expected because of common goals. Now tell me the difference between YPK and PKK. I guess the same as between Al-Qaeda and Nusra. None. A new politically correct name.

What’s the difference? You seriously don’t know?

PKK = commie terrs and YPK = Peshmerga and NOT communist.
Solid Kurdish freedom fighters, NOT fanatical muz a-holes.
Ask our SF guys what they think of the Peshmerga.
They state that they have been some of our p=best partners EVER.
Worthy of our support and alliance with. They have earned it

I’M ####ING DISGUSTED BY THE COMMENTS HERE BY PEOPLE WHOSE COMMENTS I USUALLY RESPECT.
THEY ARE GUARDING THOUSANDS OF ISIS MEMBERS, THE KURDS, IN THAT AREA.But as per FR rules I KNOW none of you who ####ing think Kurds deserved to be ####ed YET AGAIN read that far.
Turkey HELPED ISIS BUY BUYING A FORTUNE IN FUEL AND GIVING FREE AND SAFE PASSAGE.I ####ing want to THROW UP at some of these MORONIC responses.
____________________________________________________________Ditto. The one people who threw in with us, non-extremist, friendly and willing to fight. You let the Turks kill them and you wont have a single friend in the Middle-east. And if you don’t care remember that we have had a presence over their since World War 2. The effort to safeguard the Kurds is small for the benefit they offer.

Actually, the Free Syrian Army is fighting alongside the Turks and opposition group recognized by the US and Europe endorsed the Turkish invasion. Assad might be the big loser out of this deal.

The say was Nusra are freedom fighters and not Islamists.
It turned out to be a renamed Al-Qaeda. Renamed for a single reason because it was too tough to have Pentagon supply them with weapons and money under old name.
The very same thing here.

Sanctions? When in modern history have those ever done a thing? Why would some pre-moderns care about economic sanctions?

Erdogan has already been hurt by the election victory of a competing group in the major cities.
