Started with protests in Daraa in 2011, the Syrian conflict rapidly turned into a war with a number of foreign powers supporting various militant groups (including al-Qaeda-linked) against the government of Bashar al-Assad. Since then, the country has been a point of instability in the Middle East.
Russia began a military intervention in Syria in 2015 after an official request by the Syrian government for military help against militant groups.This allowed the Syrian government to survive and to regain initiative in a battle against Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (formerly Jabhat al-Nusra, the Syrian branch of al-Qaeda), ISIS and other militant groups.
This escapade shows firstly that, as if we did not know, that Erdogan only has tactics, no strategy.This will cause Turkeys policies to fail, the population of all concerned countries will suffer for it.
Secondly, it shows who is in the driving seat and it is not Erdogan.
Lastly, the rabble that is Euphrates Shield, fighting amongs themselves who gets the most profitable checkpoint to rip of passing trucks and civilians, that rabble is not fit and able to rule a country, the more so as they only have positions thanks to turkish armor, artillery and airattacks.
if the aim was defeating Assad, as Erdogan slipped through his now openly ‘jihadist’ mouth, things change. Turks are not happy or supportive of the jihadist groups, They only tolerate Turkish and FSA cooperation because they have Turkmens in them and most importantly, Turkish army is there to defeat PKK and ISIS.
if PKK and ISIS was just an excuse to go in and topple Assad, that is one of the biggest shames in the history of Turkey and a large portion of the Turkish public hates the very idea.
Erdogan supporter imbeciles may rejoice at his words but I don’t and no one I know does.
We have been very rudely disillusioned. We had hopes that despite Erdogan’s idiocy, the generals of the Turkish Army are still patriotic people and are after the security of the people of Turkey (Turks and Kurds). I still want to believe that, but apparently Erdogan’s power in the army is much higher than we thought.

Erdogan will rule just like Ataturk!
Nah, just kiddin’.
Kidding aside, Atarurk would have had Erdogan shot as a traitor.
