Erdogan vows to fight US-backed forces with rebels in Syria

’s planned military operation against Kurdish militia forces in Syria’s Afrin region, speaking from Ottoman Turkish Parliament in Ankara on Tuesday.

His audience of AK party members cheered and chanted as Erdogan announced Turkey’s plan to "demolish terror nests one by one, starting from Afrin and Mumbij".

Speaking on the US administration, Erdogan said, "Those who stabbed us in the back and appear to be our allies and terror-supporting politician lookalikes cannot prevent it."

The Ottoman Turkish leader has repeatedly talked about impending military operations in Syria’s Afrin and Manbij regions. His warnings follow the US-led coalition’s decision to build a 30,000-strong border force with the help of the Kurdish YPG-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).
The Guardian adds:
Ottoman Turkish troops and tanks near the Syrian border are making final plans to attack the US military’s Kurdish partners inside northern Syria as tensions between Ankara and Washington near unprecedented levels.

The area most likely to be invaded by Ottoman Turkish forces is a 60 mile-stretch lying between the towns of Afrin and Manbij, one of the most bitterly contested pockets of territory during the Syrian conflict. The US-raised force is proposed for north-east Syria, which Ankara is not thought to be targeting for a ground attack.

The move seems aimed to strike a symbolic wedge between the north-east and a smaller Kurdish presence along Syria’s north-west border. It would also stake a new marker for relations between Erdogan and the Trump administration, which have steadily deteriorated over the Kurdish issue.

Erdogan said he had not consulted Donald Trump

on any planned operations.

"Last time we spoke, he said he would get back to me. He still didn’t. So I’m not planning to call him," Erdogan said, and urged NATO

#1  Kick the Turks out of NATO. We really dont lose anything at this point. But be sure to demolish anything we built for them, like Incirlik AB.

And start economic sanctions - let the Turks learn that their electing this bozo is going to cost them, personally. NO aide, no spares, no free trade. If they want to be their own sultanate, then they get to do it without us. If the Russians are stupid enough to think they will not eventually get backstabbed, then they dont know the Turks.

Take that money and throw it into Kurdistan, bases in Crete (Brit airbase areas) and Crete.
