Then I answered that already
here but your assertion that there are no troops on the ground is still invalid.
Just because you don't know about something does not mean it doesn't exist.
Good day, Tay.
And we are looking upon a foreigner from hundreds miles away, whom read a few articles written by his media, acting like a foreign specialist.
Now, if it was possible to convince Erdogan to stop using the Syrian civil war as a front to pile on the Kurds
First of all, We are not conduct a war on Kurds but PKK.
First i need to educate you one factions.
PKK: A terrorist organization which is listed as a terrorist organization internationally by several states and organizations, including the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) and the European Union.
YPG: Extension of PKK in Syria. Has links with PKK. You can liken it like Al-Qaeda <> Al-Nusra
KRG: Kurdish Regional Government in Iraq. Which has excellent ties with Turkey. Their units trained by Turkey and still being trained by Turkey in Erbil. Their commander "Kahraman Kemal" said that 7. Peshmerga battalion liberated Sinjar from Daesh thanks to the their urban warfare training which has been received from TUrkish officers in Erbil.

Now as we finished factions, let's look at the time line.
At 22 July 2015 PKK cowardly killed 2 police officers while they were sleeping in their homes.
Turkey immediately bombed PKK positions in Northern Iraq.

At 23 July 2015 Daesh terrorists opened fire to the patrolling elements of the Turkish Armed Forces near the border at Gaziantep/Oğuzeli. Special Forces directed to the area all 5 ISIS terrorists whom ambushed our soldiers have been killed. ISIS tried to bring reinforcements, Turkish army destroyed them as well with Tanks, IFVs, and Artillery. At night recon showed that remaning ISIS terrorists were trying to fortify positions near the Turkish border. So, F-16s bombed them to smitherens.

and concentrate troops on securing his Oh So incredibly porous border so Deash oil trucks cannot pass ...
it would be great but his renewed ( elections 2.0 stunt ) control of government without help makes that ...
huh ... say unlikely right now.
There are no "Daesh trucks" passing to Turkey. If you say otherwise present your proof.
Let me tell you about the oil smuggling. This issue didn't started with Daesh or it will not end by Daesh.
Turkey found and destroyed 282km of pipelines in just one year.

They cross, oil in plastic barrels from rivers.
Some times try to cross the border with 1000-1500 people on horses each carrying 2 barrels of oil, even they fire on military time to time.
At last time, to deal with them army brought tanks !!!!
They even tried to construct a steel bridge to cross the river, smuggler's bridge !!!!!
We are not tolerating oil smuggling but things are surreal in the border as you can see. Entirely stopping the smuggling from the border is impossible, we are doing our best and they still can do it.
And don't forget that entirely stopping smuggling is something impossible. If it can be done there would be no cocaine in US.
I hope, you won't talk about the subjects that you have no clue about it, from now on.
