What's the point of this thread if we can't share news updates on the Euphrates Shield operation?
Like I said many pages ago, I'm actually not against Turkey's intervention in Syria. In fact, I think Turkey should carve a Turkmen autonomous region out of northern Syria since that's the only thing that will protect ethnic Syrian Turkmens from future persecutions at the hands of the Syrian government.
And I also suggested that Turkey gets rid of the FSA and focuses mainly on its Turkmen and Barzani-aligned Kurdish allies for stability in northern Syria.
Just because I post news that you may not like to read or hear doesn't mean I'm enjoying it.
Fine. I really don't care. I'll post news about the Euphrates Shield in the Middle East sub-forum instead.
Off-course everyone can share his/her opinion as per observation which may or may not be correct. However, during such time of war, where mostly truth dies or killed by the culprit (Truth is the first casualty of war), one must understand that there are many forces into play and above all, media warfare is the best thing to play with minds and mislead the populace/people from outside the subjected area/country to gain sympathy. So, it is necessary to do every homework before sharing the news which people take it as information which can damage the fact and progress against terrorism as well and to make sure about the home work, we must evaluate the source, the channel of information and credibility of the host as well as the Internet cannot be trusted always.
Sharing update is not an issue but it has be kept in view that we are not being played by the common enemy due to our own differences on political level or based upon international diplomacy. What ISIS etc will do the best, can spread rumors, false propaganda or even can utilize the sympathizer channels/gateways/sources for chaos, demoralization and unrest.
Telling the ground update or operation progress is not wrong until & unless it is not a leak or false/misleading feed. For such understanding of credibility, misleading, propaganda and media warfare, we can review feeds during failed coup attempt in Turkiye whereby the most so-called credible declared the same as successful contrary to the ground realities which was deliberately done so the people may be demoralized and loss.
Hope to see productive discussion onward.
We wish our brothers to win this war against terrorism and sacrifices will not go in vain. Being the victim of terrorism, we can understand as we have been fighting such cancer too long and have sacrificed a lot as well and by the blessing of ALLAH, gong to win it. Stay strong brothers and crush the snake head.
