….and Assad to protect the land of our enemy? Anyone who wants to assist Syria in protecting the Kurds is good with me, whether it is Russia, China, or Napoleon Bonaparte. I hope they all do great, we are 7,000 miles away!

The US withdrawal from Syria and the Turkish offensive have once again demonstrated Europe’s geopolitical weakness. It are now turkey and Russia who decide on our safety. Europe must take its destiny into its own hands by building a real Defense Union. https://t.co/0OOXzFO8uI

Mistake du jour: sending the VP to Turkey. Suggests the Admin still thinks it can entice Ankara to stop. A further degradation of America's waning stature. Further undercuts his lead diplomat who should be the only one going, if anyone. https://t.co/DC0WEQVi5B

Today we’ve met exhausted Syrian Kurds who were smuggled into Iraq as violence worsened this week. Scared & uncertain, they were emotionally spent and had no idea what their future held. Holding her young daughter, one woman, Sawa, had a message for Trump. “We trusted you.”

— Louisa Loveluck (@leloveluck) October 15, 2019

If the Turkish army can’t take Sere Kaniye to colonize and ethically cleanse it, then it must destroy it to ensure than no Kurdish population lives next to the Turkish border. This, still, constitutes demographics engineering and is a war crime. https://t.co/5cVxKk0I7E

I disagree, Soner. They offloaded this to the TSO. And they have no restraint. And because of that TR is now liable for the war crimes its proxies have committed. A professional ground force would have been better for that. But increased risks to Turkey

Romantisizing Erdogan is a mistake:

Did Erdogan only go after Gulenists?

No, he used the coup to go after all rivals & the press.

Is Erdogan only going after the YPG?

No, his JN affiliated proxies – coopting the FSA(??) – see no diff between the YPG, SDF, & civilians.
