Yes he did what you ask.. that's why the PKK is still there, cause he didn't do what you ask. VERY LOGiCAL LOL Priority is civilian safety not defeating isis in Mosul, this given that the millions of civs are still there in their homes. if capture was the priority they'd have succeeded by...

Problem is your post is full of opinions, your own opinions which are of no value. You say that iraq's gov can't control their forces, General townsend says they can, who would be a better source. Lt. Gen. Townsend: Before I got here, I read all kinds of things about the PMF, and I got here...

Seems like Turkey is so interested in these failed states, as you can see Turkey's current policy resulted in massive failure in both Syria and Iraq with both states being hostile to them, what could that develop to? At this point 'usefulness' is a luxury in this situation for Turkey, they're...

Who said paradise here? When did we use the PKK? PKK experienced growth after 1991 gulf war which Turkey joined against iraq, the northern no fly zone which resulted in iraq's incapability to prevent the PKK from having freedom for operations, as a result Saddam gave legal permission for Turkish...

Saudi and Qatar are terrorist states, Turkey should drop them both but they're stuck with the lunatic erdogan. There's a lot more benefits for Turkey to have better relations with neighbors Russia, iraq, iran and Syria as well as Egypt rather than the GCC who have messed up everywhere. Only...

Hawijah 450K city is larger than al bab. There's many large towns in the euphrates riverside under isis like al qaim and half of deir al zour. Bab isn't one of their top cities, it comes def after mosul, raqqa, hawijah and al qaim

Euthanized as in put Yemen to death? You think that choice of words wouldn't anger Yemenis? And no not the whole region just Southern Saudi.

that's an on paper only alliance

Some US SF are embedding with iraqi forces in Mosul for the 2nd phase of the OP, first time they embed with iraqi forces that close to combat and enter Mosul city, since 2011.

That is correct only in today's situation(post June 2014), not pre June 2014 before the global powers put their weight behind that war against IS. Pre June 2014 the army went through sabotage by politicians who caused the collapse, one has to look at the 2013 protests which were IS infiltrated...

Common sense i've been using all along, it's the people on this sub-forum who learn only after seeing the operation in Syria. There's no military operation without political limitations given that militaries are under the control of civillians, that was one of the reason for the isf collapse...

On paper that is. On paper the Saudi air force is superior to many, but in operations independently their targeting is the worst.

Didn't you all say how the TAF is vastly superior to any other regional force and that they would steam roll YPG, isis, iraq, syria? Of course countries that aren't actively at war believe it's easy until they do it, bad performance yes, nothing special. Not comparable, Turkey has not gone...

Situation in Syria now is for a large part thanks to Erdogan. Long term a loss for Turkey.

USA funds YPG who are PKK too right? So why keep complaining and talk with those that fund and aid your terrorists, just go to war with the US? as per your logic.. YBS should be funded as they counter Barzani who is an enemy that Turkey supports. There's no annexing anything, just nationalists...

APKWS guided missiles are in service now

US has more capabilities, B-52's and A-10's for attack alone bring many advantages, let alone recon platforms and ELiNT to disrupt their coms.

Barzani doesn't belong in Sinjar either way, he's been incapable of countering the YBS. After Mosul OP it's likely the isf deploys there. erdogan still refuses to deal with Baghdad, instead trying to spawn a Nujaifi army and support barzani, look where that bought him. Currently Baghdad supports...
