#4 We have to have some old M198's laying around with munitions stock nearing the end of shelf life. Pretty sure the Kurds would figure out how to use them with some on-site demonstration training. |

So, really, it's just Turkish imperialism. I'm surprised Russia is allowing their wannabe client Turkey to to war with their long-standing client Syria. |
