    The Kurds must say: they are with Assad and Syria, or they are US puppets ...

          The Turks today took as many as 9 villages at once and are fighting over the mountain towering above Afrin. I think that in a few days the Kurdish defense will finally collapse.

        I’m afraid that the Turkish Air Force and artillery do not care much about anyone on whose land. The Turkish Sultan has beguiled to the edge of the coast, it is time for him to arrange a detoxifier. But everyone does not care.

        Well, the Syrian militants (or militias, how is it fashionable today?) are also on their land .. unlike the Russian VKS, Wagner PMC. Unlike the same Afghan mercenaries, Fatmiyun, Iranian ksir, Iraqi Shad Shabi (or whatever) and others . What did they all forget in Syria not on their land? wink
        the Turks also decided, and the worse we are ... the more the Syrian civil war affected them much more than Russia or Iran ...
        p / s, I know you will say that foreigners also fight on the side of the militants, and that’s true, but the vast majority are local Sunni Syrians who no longer want to live under the dictates of the Alawite (Shiite) minority.

            wow. Then you can’t forgive a lot of people. And all the former Soviet countries killed the Russians and those who now killed many others in Russia. Not to mention the Germans and others.
            And it’s not a bad idea to use the enemy’s technique on a daily basis ?? How would almost everything around you be made by enemies ??? The same Germany killed more in one war than all the losses of Russians in 13 wars with Turkey.
            And do not say, I use Russian. Everything around is imported or with their filling. Jay, that China was killing Russians.

      This is not the SAA but the militias from the NSO, probably the Kurds (in Safira there are Kurds who have always been on the side of the SAA). There was infa that this convoy in jeeps was fired upon by Turkish artillery. All this is similar to the initiative of individual groups, which is not surprising and predictable in the Syrian mess. Again, the goal is not Afrin, since such an operation must be coordinated with the Turks and dreams, but the air base in Meng. The Turks sensed the smell of victory over the enemy and there was no sense in giving Afrin to them. Kurds are already too late to drink Borjomi, the moment has already been missed and now because donkey stubbornness and faith in an overseas uncle once again wipe ... Kurds they are .... Kurds

      Long? The Kurds did not build their defense for the first year, but then the Turks broke it in a month. Most likely, the entire combat-ready part of the Athenian Kurds was ground at the beginning of the operation, then the Turks suffered substantial losses. And now everything goes smoothly with the Turks, the rest of the Kurds are fleeing to Europe.

      This "meat grinder" is a consequence of the Libyan vote at the UN, and our "huskies" and "bonnets, through too excited women" in relation to Syria, our partners simply "disliked" by blowing the air defense partners of Syria and other partners to destroy the convoy.

    According to Erdogan, he stopped the movement of Syrian forces in Afrin.
    Although, according to Reuters, about government forces arrived in Afrin, on the way to the city they were attacked by the Turkish Air Force.
