Nobody expected Erdogan and his AKP would play fair in the election. And he did not. And now they cannot quite admit that Istanbul voted against him. And the election was NOT CLOSE as is stated. 24,000 votes were the difference.
Time for another Coup
Yep.

Erdo’s mercenaries are shelling #MMC #AlBabMC checkpoints in Boxaz village with heavy weapons now.
So, Turkey’s FSA pukes are shelling our allies in Syria that they were strongly warned by Pompeo not to do. Surprised? Nope. It is how Erdoodoo swings.

Well. Turkey and Kurds weren’t friends long before Erdogan.
That is correct, but in the far past it was not always so.
Erdo is a Dictator just like the Ottoman empire was run by. They were not Turks.
I am not disputing your idea but the situation has many angles.
Kurds were Turkey’s enemies not only before Erdogan but also before Kurds became US allies.
Based on that fact alone it wasn’t really Turkish-friendly for US to ally with the Kurds.
A lot was told about Turkey setting obstacles for the secord Iraqi operation but once again it has involved Kurds on US side too.
