deploy 500k soldiers into Afrin, Idlib, and Manbij.. and call it a day
In proxy warfare deploying huge numbers is not smart.
If Turkey wants to speed it up it could use more air strikes but that would up the costs and civilian casualties.
Personally I don’t like the slow advance but I think it is a good strategy for Afrin. PKK had 5 years to fortify Afrin. There are booby traps everywhere. Slow advance is right for Afrin.
Only downside is that somebody is arming YPG. We need to cut the logistics to Afrin. That is the thing I’m worried about.
