The State Department actually justifies Turkish artillery shelling the Syrian territory.

A surprising position (although we are talking about the US authorities, and therefore already not surprising) the position of the US State Department spokesman John Kirby on the Turkish artillery shelling of the northern regions of Syria. Mr. Kirby was asked to comment on the information that the Turkish army was launching artillery strikes on Syrian territory. To this, Kirby stated that "Turkey is taking action to improve the security situation on its borders."

Kirby mentioned the 98-kilometer stretch over which the Turkish side allegedly tries to regain control. When Kirby was asked how the attempt to regain control over the border with shelling of a foreign country’s territory came together, Kirby said he was not ready to comment on the actions of the Turkish military for the simple reason that "Turkey is a US partner in the antiterrorist coalition." Mr. Kirby was immediately reminded that his predecessor as the official representative of the US State Department (Jen Psaki) readily and verbally commented on the "activity of the Russian troops near the Ukrainian border."

Kirby's answer is RT:

I would not even be ready to comment on the actions of the US military. And Turkey is our partner in the antiterrorist coalition. At this point!

It turns out that if anyone (according to the logic of the State Department) is in a coalition with the United States, then he is allowed to conduct shelling of any state, to wreak havoc in which is the goal of the same United States. Clearly a new word in the system of international relations ...

When we have a company of paratroopers, it just comes out to harvest cranberries for the winter near the Estonian border, then the Americans raise a universal howl about aggression and a nuclear strike in the Baltic States, scaring Europeans with our tanks near the English Channel, and here the Turks are scribbling heavy from the territory of a foreign country guns and they call it:"Turkey is taking action to improve the security situation at its borders."
Well done!

Moreover. This is “clearly a NEW word in the system of international relations”, the USA, most likely, will SOON be written under HIMSELF in some NEW international law, or CORRECT the old one so that the journalists stop the representatives of the US State Department from asking such UNCONVENIENT questions.
Too often nowadays, journalists began to turn to the US State Department with similar questions!

In other words, everything will be done in the same way as with the change of the IMF Charter under pressure from the USA - in order to allow the IMF to give loans further to Ukraine - the bankrupt state and the US colony.

1. If all of a sudden tomorrow Syrian troops fire at Turkish artillery deployment sites, then the states and Turks will shout about aggression against NATO. So, here the situation is deadlock.
2. The shelling of the northern territories of the SAR by the Turks is definitely a crime against the Syrian people. That would be some "neutral" and "no-man's" ground = ground missiles flew to the Turks and weeded their artillery at night, huh?
3. If the border of Turkey with Syria is so transparent, then "some Turkomans, but not the ones that used to be, but the" correct "ones who are against the pro-Turkish Turkomans" entered Turkey and undermined their art nafig.
4. Unidentified "ISIS / Kurdish / Sepoy / UFO bandit groups" attacked the positions of the Turkish troops and after their defeat and destruction of equipment "disappeared" "nowhere."
5. Friends of Turkey from ISIS, "by mistake and very repentant" (from the territory controlled by ISIS) fired at the Turkish positions where their arta was.
Any scenario is shorter, but the Russians would have nothing to do with it, and the Syrians too.

[hobot]

If the Turks are fired upon by the Kurds, there will simply be a conflict at the international strife

[mojohed2012]

That Psaki, that Kirby - both play the role of jesters of peas. They do not comment on anything, explain nothing, are not ready to explain anything. The only thing, they learned to say: "And the point!".
Psaki was remembered at least by the fact that Siberia was placed next to Ukraine. Kirby is not so spectacular.

[rotmistr60]

The State Department actually justifies Turkish artillery shelling the Syrian territory.

Thus, it pokes Turkey into continuing the anti-Syrian and anti-Russian campaign. But in the end, Turkey will have to answer for everything. In an acute situation, the United States will simply withdraw itself and shift all the problems onto Erdogan. And this "sultan", intoxicated by such support, completely ran out of coils and really felt unsinkable. But the fall will be very, very painful.

[demo]

Wait.
Information slipped through the box that Saudi Arabia was ready for a ground operation.
Not so simple and unambiguous.
Americans directly try to draw everyone and everything into a conflict.
And there at least grass does not grow.
Erdogan is a boy, "the seed".
Which also shears his "cache".
It will be difficult for the Syrians, oh, how difficult.

A good example is the presence of Turks in Iraq.
Iraqis mourned and all.

[rotmistr60]

I wrote about this on another thread.

Iraqis mourned and all.

And who now practically controls the Iraqi government?

[donavi49]

No one, there is a multi-trunk:
- You can’t get away from Iran, there are so many pro-Iranian troops and moods in society that the government that announced the break with Iran will not last a week.
- It’s also impossible to quarrel with the United States, yet the United States supplies high-tech equipment, planes, holds most of Iraq’s money, a key trading partner, trains the army, and strikes by order of the Iraqi army, and in general, if a small, and especially a warring country swears USA, she does not live long.
- Saudis, the dominant force in the south for Iraq, even the prime minister used to hysterically against the backdrop of finds of weapons, food, equipment with the arms and inscriptions of the KSA, now this is commonplace and even not shown in the news (like this on tweeters, and here the bearded kittens had a warehouse out there are boxes with rations from Qatar, and then from KSA).


Therefore, they pursue a policy of all-all. Iran is promoted as they can. Despite the protests, the Assad / Iran / VKS boards pass through without any difficulties in any volume. The United States also helps, as they can, have already stopped scandalizing for the loot and the number of deployed US troops.

They are NATO allies. Even if the Turks send troops to Syria, and the United States strikes against our airfield, they will only support them.

[alex-cn]

Because the return will not fly to the United States. But, I think they won’t get into a fight, but they’ll technically help, so that then they will be dictated both to us and to us ...

[Aleksandr72]

I would not say that this is a very new word. It’s just that Mr. Rear Admiral (and who gave him the admiral epaulettes? Did he go to the sea at least once, or just swim, like a well-known substance in the toilet?) Spoke in a straightforward manner, characteristic of some oakish military style:

I would not even be ready to comment on the actions of the US military. And Turkey is our partner in the antiterrorist coalition. At this point!

And thereby, voluntarily or involuntarily, he directly reflected in his statement the policy of his country in this matter. The policy that various talking heads from the State Department tried to veil earlier, hiding it in their verbal concept ... all.
I have the honor.

You're right. At least in this regard, the representative of the State Department turned out to be more honest than his predecessor. Although, most likely, due to insufficient language hanging

The entire so-called coalition acts illegally in Syria. So Turkey is bigger, Turkey is smaller - it does not change the essence of the matter. And why is it only about Turkey, and not about all this cole of vultures?

[Zomanus]

Wait...
Syrian army is now approaching the border
with Turkey over a sufficiently large extent
and will give an answer as expected.
And at the same time we will check the operation of our radar counter-battery war.
In the meantime, on the diplomatic field we will prepare everything for this.

[Volzhanin]

[Andrey160479]

It clearly smells like an invasion of Turkish troops, with the support of the United States. So it's not far off, but it seems to me that in 1-1,5 months we will see everything. This will be another test of Russia's strength. In a word, this is War. I no longer believe in the common sense of the "partners".

Well, he is not hiding. Their window of opportunity closes. Therefore, the movement should begin in February-April. Now the Saudis will join. They are not very fighters, but the planes are more or less there, and after the Saudis and all sorts of Sudanese, Colombians will go.

The DPRK artillery, which has corresponding agreements with the PRC and the Russian Federation, must also prepare the sweeping of the border with South Korea. And Abkhazia, which has an agreement with the Russian Federation, is clearing the border with Georgia. This gentleman is pushing the world to war. I have the honor.

As they say in the east, a quarrel between a neighbor is a disaster for you. Let Tan and Canada better protect the border between themselves

[Corsair0304]

Unfortunately, Kirby did not say anything new. Rather, he spoke out predictably to nausea. All this mouse fuss is nothing more than a continuation of pro-American politics in the Middle East: ISIS did not succeed in ruining Syria and dropping Assad - they came from the other side, through Perdogan with his frostbitten ambitions about the Great Port. The shelling of the Syrian border is nothing more than a continuation of the provocation to destroy our Sushka. From a military point of view, an artillery strike does not mean much, I think the Syrian military has not experienced such a thing during the war.
Americans are trying us and the Syrians for nerve strength and endurance. They are looking for a reason for Turkey's military invasion of Syria.

[Velizariy]

Now it has even become interesting, what will he say if the Greeks begin to bring down the Turkish planes violators? The stump is clear that if Assad responds to the Turks in the same way, then the entire "coalition" will pounce on bombing and bombing for real, and not how they fight ISIS

[kit_bellew]

I would like to separately note that the United States is the only country in the world that does not have a ministry (or a department) foreign affairs. In 1789, the fathers of world democracy, the giants of thought and persons close to the Potomac River decided that everything happening in the world was directly related to the interests of the United States, and, without further ado, they called the department - the department public US Department of State. What other logic do you want from them?

[afrikanez]

Interestingly, in Syria there is something to shoot at their artillery? It would not be bad to put the Turks in their place.

[Million]

Turkey fulfills the will of its owners, the United States. They will not blame themselves)

[triglav]

It's time to shut their mouths. It is necessary to firmly warn the Turks that, in the case of continued shelling of the territory of the SAR, a retaliatory strike will be delivered by the forces of the Syrian army. And all at once shut up! By the way, the American coalition should be warned against rash steps. And indeed, by order of Assad, this coalition should close access to the territory of the SAR.

[guzik007]

You can humor as much as you like, but the question is in the air. And what will we do if Erdogash still decides to send troops to Syria? Something is disturbing in my soul.

[bikeev1234]

Double-faced anuses, correctly VVP said "wet them all in the assortment"

[koshmarik]

I think that the artillery duel between the Turks and the Syrian army has been going on for a long time. At present, apparently, the Turkish-Americans are looking for an excuse to start a small victorious war between Turkey and Syria, followed by the connection of NATO forces. A peculiar test of strength. Well, let them try, especially since the peoples of the EU are simply eager for battle to give their lives for the Turks.
