#2 short of that link:

Turkish troops are not withdrawing. Syrian army lost 3400 soldiers and those equipments only in certain place in 4 days. Turkish Army deployed 30000 soldier and ready spread the war all over the border.Syrian Army is not going to be handle when its spread and will loose much more

#3 I'm told that the US Government assesses these #Turkey claims to be accurate:

- 3 jets
- 3 UAVs
- 8 helicopters
- 135 tanks
- 86 artillery & MRLs
- 77 APCs
- 9 arms depots
- 5 AD systems
- 16 ATGM/mortars

That amounts to a HUGE loss for pro-#Assad forces; the effects will show.

#4 if this kind of beating keeps going on Assad's forces will be too weak to keep ISIS from coming back
