“the fruit of his cultivated jihadi’s”
It is likely that those chickens will be coming home to roost in Turkey.
A lot of the foreign jihadis that he has been funneling into Syria for years, have burned their bridges with their home countries. Now they have no home to go back to. When the ISIS prisoners are asked where they want to go, the answer is overwhelmingly Turkey.
Their extremism and thugishness will be in more Turks faces, rather than something over the border, that the media artfully spins to sound good. They will be clearly associated with Erdogan’s AKP Party. A lot of the fighters have been hopped up on drugs for a long time, and gotten a real taste for blood, and taking what they want (including women). They won’t be easy to integrate into peaceful society.
All true. You can see why Erdogan wanted to put them in N. Syria in Efrin (Afrin). If Turkey stops supporting them in Efrin, the Kurds will take them all out.
They have not given up on that. All they look for is a way. Now they still average 5-15 a week eliminated. It has been ongoing since the takeover.
The price? Lives of course. But the Jihadi’s without Turk air and tank support are no match for the Kurds. The Kurd are smarter and more determined. ISIS leaders are cruel and have instinct to survive, but the slime they command? Head shake.
