There was international pressure from all sides. It was a political decision to stop it not military, even though I think more should have been area should have been taken and then stopped it.
You know very well most of the fighting was done by the SNA while special forces alongside them directed air and artillery support. The thing is Turkey deployed massive forces at its border but used a very limited number of them instead of going into full force and achieving its objectives,from ayn al arab to qamishly to establish its so called safe zone. Maybe there would have been losses,but given the YPG is such a pathetic fighting force without the coalition air support,their lines of defence would have quickly collapsed as we've seen.
Now instead you only got a small piece of desert and now the YPG behind the Syrians and the Russians,both failing to keep their promises on agreements signed with Turkey. Why should Turkey do ?
