Turkey Invades Syria

[Newview01]

Probably a lot more concerning than North Korea.

Forces entered the country's Afrin province today just 24 hours after pounding the region with airstrikes.

Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim reportedly said they are targeting US-backed Kurdish fighters.

Shocking pictures show dozens of tanks and armoured vehicles crossing over the border in a terrifying display of military might.

Why does this not surprise me? Sad to say but that side of the world has been fighting since the beginning of time, it’s all they know.

Just keep sending them ammo.

I would be inclined to totally disagree. This is just Turkey, flexing it's muscles along it's border with war-torn Syria. They have done this several times before in the last two years, and they'll probably do it again (and I don't blame them). In the bigger global picture, this isn't really a big deal.

On the other hand, we have NK vs USA with two nuclear-armed knuckleheads at the helm, looking for an excuse to pull the trigger. Our biggest concern, by far, should be here.

With warheads in Washington, Montana, and North Dakota, I think you may have a legitimate concern.

Couple of decadent useless fat farts who like to posture and make cheap shots. Life is too good for them to give up their fabulous lifestyle and blow each other up. I'm not going to worry about it, there is nothing you or I can do about it. Life goes on till it doesn't.

Wyoming not Washington. Probably some in South Dakota as well.

Turkey (a NATO country) is targeting the US backed Kurds?
Don’t they have meetings about these kinds of things first?
And I think there are a few Canadians over there fighting alongside the Kurds.

Actually, the Kurds are backed by several NATO countries, including Canada.

Yes ... this was no surprise to NATO.

True, but not in Syria ... only Iraq.

Thanks for clearing that all up.
