Turkey sends large number of reinforcements to Iraq despite Baghdad’s objections
2020-06-23
[ALMASDARNEWS] The Ottoman Turkish Ministry of Defense announced the deployment of additional forces to Iraq as part of "Operation Tiger Claw", which is targeting the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK).
"It's a light-alcohol seltzer"
The ministry said in a statement issued yesterday evening that additional commando units were deployed to new locations in northern Iraq after carrying out air operations there.

The Ottoman Turkish Defense Ministry published on Sunday that showed its forces preparing to take part in the military operation.

That should be Rantburg’s subtitle. Or perhaps Snark of the Day — it could go either way.

#7  Islamic Caliphateâ„¢ recognizes no borders

When you come right down to it, it's just a stupidly violent game of Calvinball. There are no borders, 'sides' depend on which way the wind is blowing and the rules are whatever rotten nonsense one team or another decided on for the day. These people need hobbies.

That makes it an invasion, right?

So it would appear, unless we're missing something here. Even so, the whole thing is quite unseemly. Gentlemen don't invade each other's countries.
