Turkey could take Afrin quickly if it used the Aleppo or Raqqa method but this would entail massive damage and huge losses of life which isn't what Turkey is looking to take on. There are 3 main routes into Afrin. One from the NE from Azaz direction, one along the valley from the SW from...

North and west Afrin are now connected

Jinderes has been pounded all day long. Seems now the few hundred Assadists who entered Afrin and moved into Jinderes have marched into an early grave. I'm sure in their final moments they wished they turned back too. Utterly useless. Meanwhile, 600 Hamza Division commandos have finished...

More self incriminating evidence of YPG committing war crimes. Using civilian homes to attack from.

Yeah, I meant National Defence Forces, not the Popular Mobilisation Forces. I think the general poster here is knowledgeable enough to know the difference so don't be paranoid, I'm not trying to spread false info. Still NDF were created and armed by the IRGC.

Have the Iranian funded PMF that entered Afrin 4 days ago now actually done anything yet, other than pose for the cameras?

Another YPG child soldier has been captured. This time a 16yo girl. These kids should be in school, nurtured into adulthood. Not used as cannon fodder while their "brave" men hide behind them.

IRGC Maj Gen Yahya Rahim Safavi has already said Iran is exporting Syrian Phosphates, and is looking to take some of Syria's oil and gas fields too.

So many anti Turkish and pro pkk sources have been spreading so much disinfo regarding the operation in a deliberate effort which in turn has led to many "analysts" and "reporters" willingly repeating these false reports. This makes it hard for people who want an honest picture of whats...

I wouldn't put anything past Assad and his Iranian funded mercenaries. Turkey should push into the Tel Rifaat strip. Especially Kafr Naya and Ahras to the south of Tel Rifaat. If Assadist forces get too cocky then its not far to Anadin from there and we can cut their necks off and isolate...

When the US/SDF and Assadist forces were rushing towards Raqqa and the Deir ezzor, they could of completely wiped out ISIS in Syria. Instead, after the hardest fighting was over, they let ISIS keep control of some villages in the desert. The US, along the important Iraqi border which is the...

Maybe we need a fact checking thread? There's so much disinfo going around through anti-Turkish networks. The most likely source for smoke inhalation

This "attack" has to be up there alongside the cardboard tank as one of the most fake stunts to come out of the PKK fakist studios. According to the PKK media accounts they've already trapped f16s above the skies of afrin, submarines have appeared on top of the mountains, so maybe next week...

So we can just turn to Russia right? The Russians will throw more mud at Turkey whenever the opportunity arises than they will do at the US who just took out hundreds of their men at Deir ezzur.

More evidence of the YPG disguised as civilians while carrying out attacks

It not the height of the hills that makes it tricky. It's the uneven terrain, the deep gorges, the forest cover, small woodland paths concealed by overgrowth that can only be known by local knowledge, the caves and tunnel networks, every nook and cranny providing a place to hide or a place to...

Turkey isn't going after the Kurds, that's just the western agitprop obfuscating the difference between the PKK network and Kurdish people. Turkey will try to win over average Kurdish people, from this alien quasi commie/ethno-nationalist ideals. They aren't natural ideas to the peoples of the...

Iran's Press TV is claiming one of their vans got hit by a Turkish missile. Judge for yourself. I would put it up there with the cardboard tank as one of the cringiest fake videos coming out of Afrin.

A few thoughts I have on the "armenian genocide" issue. Firstly, if Armenian church and Ottoman census figures have a population between 1.3 and 1.6m armenians then how the hell is there a diaspora population of around 10m if 1.5m of them were killed? Some researchers have shown only around a...
