    4 myths regarding Turkey and the YPG in Syria: 1. That Turkey will not enter Syria to fight the YPG (“it is all talk”) 2. That Russia will not allow Turkish troops go into Syria 3. That Assad will support YPG, if Turkey enters Syria 4. That the YPG will stall Turkish forceshttps://twitter.com/kjovano/status/1158051551803576321 …

    Erdogan says Turkey will enter Syria again - into an area controlled by the Kurdish YPG. An enemy of Turkey and ally of the U.S. Potential for Nato member state Turkey attacking an area where there could be U.S. personnel. https://af.reuters.com/article/worldNews/idAFKCN1UU0G6 …

        Turkey will wield its legal rights by launching a new cross border operation into northern Syria. Because a terrorist structure which is the Syrian branch of outlawed PKK terrorist org. that poses a very clear threat for TR must surely be rooted out at any rate.Sooner or later!

        Exactly 1. Turkey will enter Syria to fight the YPG or YPG will retreat 2. Russia will allow Turkish troops go into NE Syria 3. Assad would rather absorb a weakened YPG into his army, then give a stronger YPG autonomy 4. Turkish forces will make quick work of the YPG as in Afrin

        Agree. Do you think that a limited preliminary Turkish military intervention in YPG-control area might prompt the US to respond with CAATSA sanctions even before Turkey activates the S400s?

        I don't think a Turkish offensive would prompt the imposition of CAATSA - it may lead to a selection of harsher sanctions out of the 12 listed possibilities in CAATSA. But, I do think the imposition of CAATSA can fast track Turkey's military operation.

        Turkey would smash the YPG to the ground really really fast if enters into the east of Euphrates... Americans are also aware of this undeniable fact.

        You think that it's the worst days of 1000s of years old TR nation. You believe that TR has a limited window to intervene NSyr cause there're US troops present. Also you're sure that int'l community will take their side beside sdf because they are saviour of the world.…
