it's always incredible to watch the New Turkey to suprass inself , breaking a record after a one just established . It's a disgrace . Not the evacuation , in the sense the land left behind is still Turkish . And not in the sense that those 38 guys stuck in (during the months the ISIL was raging ahead) and just had to be taken out (as the ISIL gets into trouble) . And for that to happen , those two mechanized battalions had the run the gauntlet with 15 strong-roadblock running away as soon as they saw the size of the convoy ... Only with the "help" of the seperatists . Approximately for 30 kilometers . The rest of just 3 under the protection of ISIL . And not in the sense that they are actually bragging about this "game" where them evil Westerners want us in Syria and Ankara wisely and smartly and heroically stops that game . As if it's not Ankara who "could" go in and could not and that's why them Westerners are actually laughing at the mighty powerful Goverment . It's like blindingly clear that "Muslims" like Jihad so much as long as they don't get to fight .
the disgrace is the invasion . Which obviously makes Turkey legally a rogue state or something . Ankara supported our dear sunnier Sunni Brothers like hell ; shot down Syrian planes to prolong the war as if Ankara would ever be allowed to "conquer" anything . There was this glorious talk of prayers in the Mosques of Damascus , just like Sultans would pray in Constantinsomeplace or Belgrade or Baghdad or Vienna , had the last ever fallen . Ankara claims 350 000 people died in the Syrian fighting ; that naturally means the casualties are maybe about 150 000 . In return for all the talk of hegemony over the Middle East , the conquest amounts to 10 000 squaremeters . Was declared to be 800 meters from the border ; ı had assumed was all about securing an infiltration point to Syria ; later "amended" to a physical presence between the "cantons" and stuff of the "Western 'stan" . Turns out to be a field 180 to 250 meters from the border where the dearly and supremely glorious seperatists can guard our tanks guarding the "temporary" tomb . Foreign Minister actually claiming that we had doubled our holdings in Syria . Syria calls that invasion , the Little Imperialist calls Syrians murderers , a failed state and the field is ours . By a rough division of 2.5x1 meters , you can bury only 4000 dead Syrians in it , my Casio Fx-3600 calculator tells me ...
there's nothing recognizable in this , compensation is a natural for unlawful agricultural grap and construction ; but not on the scale of re-construction . That the Kurdish owner arrives to demand compensation does not negate Syrian title to the land . And of course , as per the course , we hold Washington responsible for every action of the New Turkey . If this turns out to be a basis of legal argumentation that (say) advanced bases for long range patrols are similarly unlawful , 2015 should have made it clear those are by the right of firepower . Do we look like as if we would accept ?
