Turkey announced the entry of troops east of the Euphrates in Syria - in the "American patrimony"

Turkish authorities are reporting preparations for a new military operation on Syrian territory. The corresponding statement was made by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

According to Erdogan, the military operation will be carried out in areas in northern Syria controlled by Kurdish armed forces. Recall that many of these units are supported by the United States of America.

The Turkish President said that the Turkish military contingent has planned entry into the territory east of the Euphrates. According to some reports, the operation will be carried out along the line Shalabin (Salabin) - Ain-Isa. In fact, this is the "American patrimony."

Erdogan:

We will enter east of the Euphrates - just as we entered Afrin, Gerablus and El-Bab. We sent notifications to Russia and the USA. We cannot be silent when attacks are being prepared on our country.

The Turkish military command claims that intelligence "became aware of the plans to carry out attacks" by Kurdish armed groups. It is noteworthy that earlier Ankara actually sent an ultimatum to Washington, in which it noted that if the US does not contribute to the withdrawal of Kurdish armed forces from the Turkish border, then these units will be destroyed by the Turkish army. In Washington, they decided to leave this ultimatum unanswered.

It should be noted that on the eve of Turkish aircraft attacked the positions of armed Kurds in northern Iraq. In Ankara, the operation was called anti-terrorism.

We wish them (Turks and Kurad) victory and complete destruction of each other

Is Erdogan planning to test the new S-400s in practice?

[hydrox]

But what, did the Americans give the Kurds more aviation, or is it about Amer aviation that flies out to protect the Kurdish positions when they are hacked by the Turks?

Oleg, C400 will be on combat duty in April 2020.

[siberalt]

How is everything strictly with you. But what about a sense of humor, comrade?

[siberalt]

A nurse is driving along the corridor on a stretcher of a postoperative patient.
- Where are you taking me, the patient asks.
- To the morgue, the orderly answers.
- So I have not even died yet, the patient was indignant.
“So we have not reached the morgue yet,” the orderly muttered grimly.
That's when Erdogan enters this zone of Syria, then we will discuss.

As I understand it, Turks and Kurds are minus

[Fedor Sokolov]

Let it become a headache for the Americans and distract their attention from the province of Idlib, and in the meantime, the SAA and the videoconferencing will do a good job there.

[rotmistr60]

In fact, this is an "American fiefdom"

No sooner had the Americans woke up from the Turkish "present" with the acquisition of Russian air defense systems, than the Turks again wanted to sneeze at American warnings. The Americans are still silent on Erdogan's statement, probably because they were stunned by Turkish disobedience.

[Hto tama]

As to be expected. The Americans played on "exceptionalism", began to shit on everyone and everything. At this rate, they will soon have no allies. It is high time to lock up this "exclusive" nation on their continent and the world will breathe a sigh of relief

[Mavrikiy]

Not on the continent, but on the island! But we will save them, throw the bridge Chukotka-Alaska.
Ole-ole-ole, Turkey, go ahead! Who knows, maybe Turkey will really smash its face against the Kurds, those "Jewelins" have.

[hydrox]

The Americans were simply stunned by Turkish impudence, although they should have expected this, choosing the Kurds for the role of occupiers of North-Eastern Syria.
Now the Turks will have some fun: for the Americans, the Kurds were good because the Kurds did not need anything besides the rifleman, "Zushka" was the height of the complexity of Kurdish weapons. And for the fact that they have crawled out of the borders of their ancestral lands, the Kurds will now pay a very dear price.
And Americans will lose the source of gratuitous oil, which they are now pumping under the protection of Kurdish invaders in Syrian oil fields.

Whatever the Turks do, the Americans gobble up everything.

Not so simple. If the United States decides to leave Syria, it is more profitable for them to transfer territories controlled by the Kurds to Turkey than Assad. For amers, solid pluses:
- Syria remains split
- Turkey gets long-playing hemorrhoids in the face of the Kurds
- The contradictions of Turkey-Syria, Turkey-Iran, Turkey-RF, Iran-RF, Syria-RF are exacerbating

[MstislavHrabr]

Yes! But this is only if "the US decides to withdraw from Syria." In the meantime, there is only talk about it ... It's a pity to throw a tidbit ...

[Grits]

The Turks are slowly, but systematically biting off the northern territories from Syria. Some of them are essentially theirs already - they will not return them back. And Idlib will also clean themselves. Because the SAA cannot resist them, and Russia is afraid of the Turks in helping the Syrians to squeeze them out of Idlib, Afrin.
On the other hand, it will be interesting to see how mattress-like react to such impudence. If they surrender and allow the Turks to fight freely against the Kurds, capturing their northern territories, then the SAA can also not be afraid and, with the help of Russia, drive the Kurds out from under Dayr Ez-Zor. releasing oil and gas fields. Unless, of course, Russia does not die butting with the Americans, like Turkey.

[Altai72]

Trump on the F-35 told Erdogan that like my house is on the edge, I had nothing to do with it)) I think Erdogan managed to play off the senators too. There will be no response to his "ultimatum" to Washington, and the Kurds will once again experience "all the delights of the mattress alliance."

The tacit agreement of the mericatos? Again - so much dough has poured merkatosa into the Kurds ...

[cniza]

USA politely asks them not to do this

[Chaldon48]

But what about solidarity and mutual understanding in NATO.

[Stirbjorn]

The Turks have already announced the second year that troops have been sent there, but the Yankees are still with the Kurds

Turkey announced the entry of troops east of the Euphrates in Syria - in the "American patrimony"

It is becoming more interesting and hot.

[Oleg Zorin]

I’ll note this: Erdogan has been consistently and fairly successfully pursuing its policy with regard to the neighborhood with the Kurds, essentially building a buffer zone.

[voyaka uh]

Erdogan, by the way, successfully joined Turkey half of the Syrian province of Aleppo and the entire province of Idlib.
And fights off the Syrian army when they try to say something.

[Oleg Zorin]

This is exactly what I meant. I do not agree with the term "attached", it is not entirely true. But we must admit that now everything that happens in the designated territories is under Turkish control.

[Alex1117]

Well, not all of us are the only ones to puff. Here, China, how many times has it announced the sending of its special forces to Syria, but something of the Chinese is still not visible there. Well, or they are well disguised as Arabs.
