Pick your enemies wisely. If you attack sdf and coalition in manbij and they respond with same brutality as yesterday, brother you will be embarrassed as a regional power. Especially if we take into account how conduct operations in ES and now in Afrin. No need to escalate with the US. Things changed and you have take a long and scornful look at Erdogan when he refused to “fight Isis” back in 2014.
Anyway, response from LtGen Funk
Funk told reporters in Manbij that the U.S. would continue to support the Syrian fighters despite tensions with Turkey and that a continued U.S. presence in Syria’s north is aimed at de-escalating tensions.
“I don't worry,” Funk said when asked about recent Turkish threats, “It’s not in my job description to worry, my job is to fight.”
