It seems now that the only worthy power to be on your side would be the Russians...

Kurdish general to U.S.: Either protect us, or 'move aside so we can let in the Russians'

Gen. Mazloum Kobani Abdi, the commander of the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces, did not mince words when meeting with William Roebuck, the Deputy Special Envoy to the Global Coalition to Defeat ISIS on Thursday, CNN reports. "You have given up on us," Mazloum said, referring to President...

anybody else besides the US originally assigned to help protect the Kurds? Just looking for a way they might get some protection.

The New York Times: Militants Backed by Turkey Kill at Least Two Prisoners in Syria.

Syrian Arab Fighters Backed by Turkey Kill Two Kurdish Prisoners (Published 2019)

The killings, one of them caught on video, raised the specter of wider sectarian warfare as fighting in Syria escalates.

Toll is increasing.
Testimonies about at least 9 civies executed are emerging, aming them one kurd politician and his driver

Which means the stable genius should do "something" about it.

 

[Ivan le Fou]

"Stable genius" or not any troop coming under fire has the right to fire back.

Unless they are blue helmets of course.

So, worst case scenario, the US troops would only be following ROE.

RT, I know, but how Hillary is trying to usher herself in, only to get reminded she played a pivotal role in the Syrian mess:

Crocodile tears? Hillary Clinton tweets that ‘sickening horror’ in Syria is ‘one man’s fault’ and gets reminded of her deeds

Hillary Clinton has retweeted a post by an NBC correspondent about ‘atrocities’ unleashed by Turkey’s incursion in Syria, hinting that it’s all President Donald Trump's fault. Twitter sent her down Memory Lane.

No matter how much I can despise Erdogan, and wish him to fail and bite the dust. He will not be the one paying the ultimate price. Like the rats he will always find a way to escape, and let a scapegoat take the blame. The Turkish soldiers on the ground are the ones who are going to do the fighting and do the dying.

Back at Mpnet had long debates, relative point of view and ideas comparision, information sharing, etc... with a few guys from Turkish armed forces, and came to apreciate and respect them.

Thanamestolga, Ulyatu, and other Turkish servicemen from the old days at Mpnet, wherever you are, stay safe.

This is going to F*** with Sultan Erdogan's narrative that he and the other Ottomans are only fighting the dastardly Kurds.

Turkey is the reason why the NATO chart needs to be updated to be able to hold NATO members accountable for their actions.

 

[Fred333]

US forces withdrawing from Kobane, presumably because of increased danger of clashes with Turkish proxies...seems like the Turks don't have a very strong leash attached to them... Also rumors of talks between SDF and Russia/Assad. Not surprising, because there's no one else they can turn to.

 

[Ivan le Fou]

Almost sounds like these Turkish proxies will act as death-squads to prevent Turkey from being held accountable for any wrong doings.

 

[Fred333]

My thoughts as well...

And France just announced it will stop exporting weapons to Turkey.

So did Germany and Finland.
Furthermore, the Arab League, led by Egypt, threatened Turkey with sanctions.

Oh yes, that's will help.....

Pretty sure Turkey stocked up, not sure which way Putinania sees it, limited invasion helps Assad, so probably ok, as long as they are gone in 6 months or something like.

Turkey would be willing to let go of some of its rep with the EU and NATO to flex and show the ME and other Muslims in the Area that it's not the SA or Iran that should lead the Muslim world but Turkey. Stope weapons delivery to Turkey? at this point they have a functioning weapons complex to maintain their warfighting capability. The rest can be sourced from russia

The Polish press says the Kurds made a deal with al-Asshat and Putin. The SAA will be deployed in Kobane and Manbyatch.

Just now, several reports of Syrian Arab Army convoys on the move to the Kurdish held áreas.
Take it with the average dose of salt.
