Sultan Erdogan is finally withdrawing all his troops from their occupation posts in areas of Idlib, Aleppo and Hama that were liberated by the Syrian Arab Army. Mabrook, hopefully soon the neo-Ottomans will leave all of #Syria and #Iraq.

#1 even if true Turkey will still have mercenaries in these areas

how effective they are without Turkish supervision is the question

#2 Tough fighting a multi-front war. Particularly when your financial base is in collapse.

#3 how effective they are without Turkish supervision is the question

My impression is that they're not much even with Turkish supervision.

#6 Garth, I didn't actually mean tech proficiency - although it in issue because tech competence requires competent training. It's more like: they've no discipline, no unit cohesion. They, how shall I put it, they are not soldiers.

#7 They, how shall I put it, they are not soldiers.

Agreed. They are bully boys who beat and rob children and rape unprotected women on the way to tormenting them to death as their preferred methods of terrorizing the civilian population into submission.

#8 Maybe they can work the tech, but can they maintain it?
