Maybe they should leave menbij and concentrate on raqqa? It would save all parties unneccesary headache.That Kurdish/SDF operation for Raqqa is heading nowhere (no progress).

You guys are now learning the same lesson as the Americans: you cannot depend on tribal militias with questionable allegiances to do the ground fighting for you.

With Aleppo falling into Perso-Tsar empire's hand, I wonder what Turkey will do if the regime decides to retake al-Bab before FSA/YPG does?
End of Euphrate Operation?

As you can see, Turkish Armed Forces and Turkey-backed FSA closed the Manbij-Al Bab Road against YPG. The main problem is the YPG and SAA forces from Afrin. YPG and SAA are moving together to take over Al-Bab.
I fail to understand the stupid strategy of Assad's forces, they have allied themselves with YPG, a force which wants to break Syria and carve out independent Kurdish territory, its a dumb move on Assad's part.
With this part i disagree. If anything, Turkish govt should have taken north Syria years ago before ypg was propped up this big by the US and co, everybody is using the pretext of isis to further their own agenda, so should we have done to justify cleaning north Syria and propping up the fsa there. Instead this operation has come at a point where Assad has been propped up/secured by Russia and ypg almost succeeded in linking up west with east. Turkish govt should have been more sly, faster to realize the West's game and more ruthless with heavily arming and training the fsa, at least definitely the Turkmen. I think the Turkish govt really waited for support from the western 'allies' for a no-flyzone or at least to take a combined action, a fatal mistake imo, but finally took the matter in its own hands to make a last minute effort with this operation. Fsa is a good experience for the Turkey, but it seems when it comes to using proxies and being sly and opportunistic in foreign affairs we still have lots to learn.Turkey anticipated this design at the right time
