      So the Kurds are moving - to a guerrilla war!
      Yesterday there were a lot of comments that the Kurds can only run ... just the right tactics - small injections, maximum damage. In another way, they do not survive against the regular Turkish army.
      The next step I think will be the intensification of sabotage and terrorist activity ... in Turkey!

          So they adhered to partisan tactics until they had their own Kurdistan.
          I believe that if Turkey had not been opposed, over time a full-fledged country would have turned out.
          But Turkey decided to ask them to return to partisanism on their territory.

        They have been leading it for many years, even before the start of the great turmoil in Syria. And against Saddam and against the Turks.

          Something the Turks are skidding, the blitzkrieg does not work, and then yes, the guerrilla war. And given the virtually no borders, these partisans themselves will run back and forth, which will create problems for the Turks and will further aggravate relations with Damascus, and this prospect is not very good ..

            Nothing stalls. They are calculated from 1 month to two, should clean up the intended area. They act with caution, since a lot of civilians, trying not to harm, because they know that there are a lot of stinks in the West, like, Turks kill Kurds. Ain has already been cleaned up, today Tel Abyat will fall. In one section, we reached the M4 highway (important) and blocked the communication between Kamyshly and Moonbij.

              And the Turks also had calculations of such losses in technology and people? Well then, count for the time allotted by you, taking into account the growing conflict ...
              Ras al-Ain - The Turks did not take, contrary to statements, artillery and aviation are working in the city.
              That's when they take ... then we'll discuss!
              In My opinion - Erdogan, was a big substitute! Given the reaction of the West ...

                Full of lies, on account of the loss report ... Until the night there were 4 dead Turkish soldiers (2 killed by a sniper, 2 howitzer shell hit nearby) and 6 dead from the SNA ...
                Still, apparently you don’t know the psychology of the Turks. They might lose 10-30 thousand soldiers there, but that will not change anything in decisiveness. The armed Kurds must carry their legs off before defeat comes for them.

                      It’s normal for belligerents to hide their losses: so that the enemy is less happy, so that their own people do not lose heart.

                        This is VO, here everyone who does not like anything in the statements is minus. And listening to information from different sides of the conflict is right. It is clear that in the war Everyone lies, but in reality the truth should be somewhere in between the statements of both parties ...
                        Time will show very soon what were the losses .. I don’t think that the Turks could not succeed in their plan.

                        When you press the + or - button, a field for filling with text may appear, and the rating can be taken into account only when filling in the field with more than 10 characters. Isn't that complicated?

                        It is not difficult but useless. Everyone who wants to fill in the fields with text and so do this in the comments. I believe that silently expressing the attitude to the written plus or minus sign is also important. I myself look at the estimates of sharp and contradictory comments, including not only the total amount but also the number of votes.

                        And I am very surprised that adult men are worried about these pros and cons. They removed the "plus signs" from the tragic news, and that's fine.

                        And yet - I believe that you are in vain afraid of all sorts of bots. They just don't need us. For some reason I am sure that the "ratings" are given by live users. Bots themselves cost money, it's hard for me to imagine who would spend money on plus and minus signs on such a niche resource.

                        In open oral communication, the right to express an attitude must be earned by an argument, "to answer for the bazaar", if in the street. Why lower the bar for our communication? In addition, among those who put a minus there may be participants with new arguments, or those whose opinion is important to me, and then my chances of seeing my own stupidity will increase.

                        Why lower the bar of our communication?

                        The sign of our time. Communication pluses and minuses.
                        In open oral communication, the right to express an attitude must be earned with an argument, "answer for the bazaar", if in the street

                        Also a sign of internet communication. Here it’s more difficult to answer for the bazaar and therefore behave as loathsome ones than in life.
                        In addition, among those who put a minus there may be participants with new arguments

                        Once again, those who want and can express their arguments use the comments.

                        and would find it strange their absence at the forum on military-political issues

                        The resource is still niche, attendance is limited, pluses and minuses from the point of view of influence on society are generally useless in my opinion. If I were trying to somehow botovodit in the VO, then in the first place I would drive some kind of analytics according to the comments. There are positive, negative moods.

                        So there is another option: put a plus sign without a comment, and a minus sign only with a comment. Then those who have their arguments will be able to express them, and those who do not have anything to say can put pluses to the one who put a minus and expressed an argument sufficient from their point of view. Silent minusers annoy many, and some quick-tempered like Jeyhun react: the desire to write something suddenly disappears.

Look at the city of Afrin after the capture by the Turks and at Raqqa after the Americans with the Kurds. Nothing remained of Raqqi, nor did the inhabitants. And where were these media outlets?

They act with caution, since a lot of civilians, trying not to harm, because they know that there are a lot of stinks in the West, like, Turks kill Kurds. Ain has already been cleaned up, today Tel Abyat will fall. In one section, we reached the M4 highway (important) and blocked the communication between Kamyshly and Moonbij.

              Something like this. The Kurdish front as such in the classical sense does not exist and b / action is conducted positionally. In principle, nothing prevents the Turks from developing a further offensive in other areas, leaving Ros-al-Ain in isolation, excluding the possibility of supplying entrenched Kurds, clearing the city with the help of pro-Turkish militants and supporting them with aircraft and artillery. In addition, it cannot be ruled out that in the coming days the SAA will begin to crush the Kurds from a different direction, which will force the Kurds to fight on two fronts, which, if there is no outside support, deprives the Kurdish resistance of a tactical perspective.

        And direct combat clashes with the mechanized units of the Turks are not included in their plans.
        They will knock out the ssa, as the needles were knocked out, only they will not be taken prisoner in the prisons;
        Further, the Turks will suffer tangible losses.

            And by the increase in losses, it is still unknown how the situation will develop in Turkey itself.
            Well, the main weakness of the Kurds is their fragmentation between the diasporas of different countries.
            It is rather the success of the actions of the secret services and politicians of Turkey.

              About the combat readiness of the Kurds I judge by successful actions in the wearing of needles.

              The Americans did everything for them, and the Kurds were just a screen, no more. The Americans needed to assign the Kurds a victory over the igil, in order to later heroize them and use them for their own purposes. But, something apparently went wrong).

                Kurds were combat units on earth.
                And how Americans fight, we all know.
                And before, they had done the same thing in Syria for a very long time and did not achieve any success.
                It was the Kurds who succeeded in getting rid of the needles.
                Americans are no warriors.

    I don’t know, but one gets the feeling that a very subtle game is being played against Turkey. Perhaps there is no country in the world that would be on the side of Turkey, and would like to achieve its goals. It’s even amazing that everything is against and no one is stopping (for real), hence the conclusion - that means Turkey’s actions are in the interests of these countries, and if it’s not an invasion, it means Turkey’s involvement in a protracted military conflict with the Kurds (it’s not for nothing that Americans taught). Forecast: the first months of the Turkish triumph over the genocide of the Kurdish population will gradually flow into an endless semi-guerrilla war, which will ultimately lead (not without outside help) to the weakening and collapse of the existing statehood of Turkey. But the whole world will probably advocate such an outcome of this act of the Turks, no matter how sad it looks from Turkey.

    No guerrilla war is possible without the support of the local population.
    Therefore, if an active guerrilla war really begins, then Turkey will face the need:
    1) Active impact on the existing local population;
    2) change (replacement) of the national composition of the population in this area, for example, with the help of accumulated refugees).
