Where are all those military experts who yelled all day here in PDF that Turkey will suffer in Afrin or Afrin will be Turkey's vietnam etc...?
Even that is not sure...Since report claims of a good chunk of YPG withdrawing...Its over until it’s over. The real battle will start by entering Afrin city.

http://time.com/5195442/eastern-ghouta-syria-civil-war-anniversary/In the end, U.S. policy in Syria rests on the U.S. and Turkey working together. Turkey is currently engaged in Operation Olive Branch against Syrian Kurds in the northern Syrian city of Afrin, to stabilize its own southern border and to prevent the establishment of a Kurdish statelet. The problem is that the U.S. relied on the Kurdish Syrian Democratic Forces as our partners on the ground in its counter-ISIS campaign.
Rather than build up a more credible, long-term coalition of Syrian Arab forces, the U.S. built its campaign to defeat ISIS around the Kurds, despite the long-standing objections of Turkey. While the campaign against ISIS proved successful, it is not sustainable to stabilize former ISIS-held areas with a Kurdish ground force that is not credible to Syrian Arabs and is vehemently opposed by a NATO ally.
Only Turkey has the credibility, resources and geopolitical heft to steward U.S. interests in Northern Syria. Alternatively, if left unmanaged, Turkey can spoil America’s plans. We need to consider a Turkish security zone, which can function as a military and humanitarian buffer in Northern Syria. This is a NATO border that we are sworn by treaty to protect. We must construct a workable modus vivendi.

Most of them secretly working with intelligence agencies. Social media disinformation, manipulation agents... Run hewal run! Funny. 95% of EU countries are supporting mountain rats. For them, rats are best FREEDOM FIGHTERS AND BRAVE WARRIORS, just funny...Where are all those military experts who yelled all day here in PDF that Turkey will suffer in Afrin or Afrin will be Turkey's vietnam etc...?
Yes, also all prisoners were released before takeover which makes you wonder: who did they keep in those jails and why did YPG release them? (I doubt they did it because of compassion)
