“Khashnogi stuff” will blow over. SA and Turkey have a long history. Not good. It won’t blow over there.

Thanks for the link.
I think you misunderstood.
Turkey has effectively annexed the bordering areas in NW Syria.
And his terrorists are infecting Syrian areas, no problem for Turks.
The E Syria battle took a bad turn with that sandstorm. Very bad. SDF intrepididity is quite impressive.
I haven’t heard nuch about them lately- their makeup was mixed Arab and Kurds with Kurds predominate. Wonder if that’s changed.
I see!
I mesnt ‘good for himself’ not “good” in the moral sense.
Should have used ‘well’ originally.
“SA and Turkey have a long history.”
Turrtey will let it ‘blow over’ for a price. Maybe SA’s support of Erd’s ‘people’ in Idlib?
That was such a stupid act I believe it was done by an enemy of MBS.
The Turks need a tall glass of reality, next time they shell the Kurds. Doesn't have to kill any of their troops (although, who cares?) just has to destroy some of their tanks, guns, buildings -- on Syrian soil.
Another reason Trump needn’t stop dealing with Saudi...Turkey tried to leverage the embassy killing like the dems tried to leverage Ford.
Yes, agree.
They already have returned fire and destroyed Turk equipment.
“Maybe SA’s support of Erd’s ‘people’ in Idlib?”
Absolutely no way.
“That was such a stupid act I believe it was done by an enemy of MBS.”
Yes, I agree. Probably Talal.
The SDF makeup is still the same. Might be a bit more of the MFS (Assyrians).
The losses were bad for them lately, but it is because of the desperation of the hard core remnants of ISIS concentrated for their last stand in Eastern Syria.
Nobody ever questions the Kurds bravery. And US forces hold them in high respect for a reason.
Turkey is a sick nation. Financially very shaky, culturally divided with high element of Jihadi’s who are nothing but big trouble. Military affected with lack of good leadership because of the purge.
