PT: When looking at this, it really makes you wonder why Turkey wants anything to do with Raqqa... it would take them years.
Turkey has made little progress vs. IS in al-Bab after 3 months, not even fully encircled. SDF/YPG took all of Manbij in 3 months.pic.twitter.com/9imMCOMfYO

PT: Analysts can slam the YPG all they want for ideology (while quiet about ideology of rebels), but YPG is the best fighting force vs IS.

PT: After saying that Turkey would go to Raqqa multiple times... I think Erdogan has finally learned his lesson in al-Bab.https://twitter.com/DailySabah/status/833029465617858560 …

YPG was helped by 100s of US special foreces & 24/7 airsupport to take
#Manbij & in the end a deal was made between YPG & IS. -
ES is supported by 100s of Turkish SF. Also gets 24/7 air support along with Turkish artillery, including US/Russia AS...

You cant compare US special forces and the air support they receive to ES support.

They supported ISIS but decided to fight them when Kurds said they wanted to connect with Afrin.

They are fighting ISIS now because they know YPG will take all the land belonging to ISIS in N. Aleppo

that's the difference between a state and a guerrilla warfare. YPG could have more casualties and cause more civil deaths.

YPG are kryptonite to ISIS.
#SAA managed to lose all areas in Palmyra in 2 days and it will take 6 months to recover -
you do know that ISIS does not resist much in the useless Raqqa CS, but in East Homs they do!
-
I wont believe that for a second. Raqqa is the most important front for them. Their capital lies there
-
they haven't reached the canals that surround Raqqa yet! These will be ISIS main defences
-
Remember when the
#SAA lost almost all their territory in Hassaka 2 ISIS until YPG came to save the day. -
Im not denying that YPG are good fighters, but the SAA has probably fought on more fronts at the same time ;)
-
Incompetent strategy and commanders are costing lives of SAA soldiers, which isnt the case with YPG
-
YPG lose a shitload of fighters, too.
