Erdogan: New military operation in Syria to 'start at any moment'
2018-12-20
[Al Jazeera] The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...Qatar's colony in Asia Minor....
 may launch a new military operation in northern Syria at any moment, President Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First
... Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him. It's a sin, a shame, and a felony to insult the president of Turkey...
 said, adding US President Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
 had given a positive response to Turkey's plans.

Erdogan's remarks on Monday came days after he announced Ottoman Turkish forces would launch a new cross-border operation against the US-backed Syrian Kurdish People's Protection Units (YPG) to the east of the Euphrates River in northern Syria.

The YPG is considered a terrorist organization by Ankara. American troops are also located to the east of the Euphrates River.

Erdogan spoke on the phone with Trump on Friday and they agreed to ensure "more effective coordination" between their countries' military operations in Syria.

#1  My father, when he wanted to motivate us kids, would start counting to three, after which, he promised, dire but undefined things would happen. “One,” he would say, very loudly and distinctly. “Two. Two and a half. Two and three quarters....”

By this time, we would join in the count. “Two and seven eighths. Two and fifteen sixteenths...”

I don’t remember ever getting to three, though surely we must have at some point in my childhood. Still, we all learnt our fractions beautifully, which was probably Daddy’s other objective.
