From CNN's Nick Paton Walsh on Turkey-Syria borderNow that Turkey has launched its offensive in northern Syria to clear the area of US-backed Kurdish forces, the key question is: just how extensive will the operation be?
Could it simply be symbolic, a moment to capitalize on the green light Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan feels he has from Washington? Or will we see a military intervention that unfolds gradually over the next weeks and months?A barrage of airstrikes and artillery fire could be heard volleyed into northern Syria Wednesday afternoon, perhaps a message to Kurdish fighters to allow Turkish convoys to proceed across the border.
This swathe of countryside is effectively the same area that incubated ISIS. And, without the US-backed Kurdish forces installed here, the risk of ISIS 2.0 is very real.Turkey has said it would take the ISIS fighters currently being guarded in jails by the Kurds into their custody, but that is a massive task to undertake while they're also carrying out this operation.
Almost all of the woes and ills we've seen in the last five to 10 years in the Middle East can somehow traced back to this Syrian border -- now it seems we are seeing that happen again.

Today 8 Turkish citizen killed by pkk/ypg/sdf terrorists. Why you dont write about this ?
PKK killed children and women without look who are they because their enemy is just human! They continue their massacres for 40+years. They killed 7500+ civilans. Our request from all over the world firstly select who is your ally! BabyKillerPKK or everyone's hopes Turkey!
I really wish defeat both the Turks and Syrian militaries using US strategies.
Heartbreaking 😔😥
Do not call Kurdish forces. They are terrorists! Regardless of their national background. Do not manipulate the media! Kurdish and Turkish are brothers and sisters for centuries and they will be!
The one who says Turkey is fighting against Kurds in Syria is the Biggest Liar..! Put this fact into your brain that Turkey is fighting against Terrorist Organizations as PKK,YPG, SDG to protect its borders.. NO doubt.! TurkeyJustKilledTerrorists
clarissaward Turkey is our Ally not Kurdistan
clarissaward TRUMP INTI BALLUDU
clarissaward realDonaldTrump EricTrump TuckerCarlson I think CNN was behind the bombings just to make Trump look bad.. Just thinking out loud'
clarissaward This is some real reporting for sure. Nicely done
clarissaward Troops = 50 servicemen who were used as human shields of sacrifice.
clarissaward Turkey is NOT attacking Kurds or civilians. Turkey is attacking “PKK” which is a Kurdish terrorist organization. Please stop this anti-Turkish propaganda and tell the truth!
Abandoning Kurd is a vile act, a stain of historical value and making the US no longer reliable. The wound will be much bigger than anyone can imagine. Fortunately, this is only a unilateral decision by Trump, a selfish and unreliable person
Nice shots
Not any more!
The American handshake does, Trump's handshake does not.
Every handshake now the world will think we have our fingers crossed.Trumps long con is really causing problems now.
ElissaSlotkin you’re so afraid of your own district that you refuse to take a stand or lead, on impeachment or anything else. Show some courage, not more flash polling or govt by focus-group
I normally don't watch this ... but I watched the entire thing ... and these two guys, whoever they are, didn't really help their stance any ... it was a mess of an interview! haha ... I don't know if I'm for or against whatever it is, but if I were to decide, its not from this.
What's a kurd?
Why did Turkey invade Syria?
StevenTDennis Oh shut UP, Adam. You literally helped make this happen by supporting that lunatic in all of his rather lengthy list of lunacy. Every last member of the GOP is complicit. All of them.
Hey corrupt news network he is a warmonger.
So what, he's still an enabler to the rest of the atrocities committed by Trump.
This will be Trump's Bay of Pigs, except he won't regret what he did.
But will bite for him again and didn’t find any of the other things he’s done disgusting and sickening. Get outta here
Ya, now do the Democrats...
A fool.
Au moins, le peuple américain découvre qui sont les lâches du parti républicain qui font partie de l’establishment et qui font partie de l’élite mondiale qui cherchent à créer un nouvel ordre mondial.
“I am sickened by this person I will do nothing to deter and continue to support”....
Just words. Where is the action?
Thank you, but more republicans needs to speak out... trump has way too many issues! ImpeachTrumpPenceBarr
You guys in the USA totally must have forgotten 9/11 and how terrified you all were. Kurds are people also. They have feelings, they get scared also. I have never been more disgusted with the USA than I am today. I have nothing good to say. NOTHING.
If you are still watching CNN you are being lied to!
This is a true story and NOT fake news. Many Conservatives are not happy with leaving the Kurds to be hung out to dry. Congrats to CNN for getting a story correct!
So GOP Rep. Adam Kinzinger is supporting to weaponise YPG terrorist against our Turkish ally? It is a war crime, there is no difference between ISIS and YPG-PKK! Turks have to defend their borders!
Is it me or does this guy have a ‘Gym Jordan’ vibe?
Don’t call on Trump. Call on your Republican colleagues in the Senate to commit to impeachment. Problems solved.
FAKE NEWS CNN with all their polls. Keep it up with the fake polls just like 2016. We the silent majority always keep silent until election NIGHT, where we deliver.
Didn't the US sell the war planes to Turkey that they are now using to slaughter the Kurds?
Pkk/ ypg is a terrorist organization. Is U.S. supporter of terrorism? Pkk/ypg killed 40.000 Turkish people last 40 years. Pkk/ypg killed children- teachers-soldiers-engineers- drivers-mothers-fathers- students-officers-farmers..........,
Long live the Ottoman empire!
He just started a WW-III
Trump is an uninformed, uninterested fool. The world is in trouble.
It is not an invasion, Turks are bringing democracy to the region. Thanks God, Trump stopped supporting pkk terrorists with taxpayer’s money.
TRUMP IS MAKE ISIS GREAT AGAIN DISGUSTING REPUBLICANS ,DON'T HAVE SHAME THIS PEOPLE
أطفال الكردية ضحايا مؤامرة المجرم أردوغان و مجنون ترامب أنقذوا الشعب الكردية
You will say NO TO TERRORİSM first🇹🇷 The right to self-defense, not war
Is it really strange though? Choosing a NATO ally over a couple terrorists. Choice is swiftly made.
Obama gave money to ISIS Obama gave weapons to ISIS Obama gave training to ISIS ..... and now the dems are worried about the Kurds?!?! Puh-lease
Duh
Our ally here is Turkey, remember NATO?
This alone is worth impeachment.
I know 50 US troops could kill 100k turkeys.
realDonaldTrump released the Ukraine Transcript when he saw a Tsunami drive to Impeachment; He released it & turned out the truth is even worse! So now he decided Impeachment over Obstruction is better than cooperation & more revelation
Stop misrepresenting
They are Kurdish terrorist fueled by drug. Google PKK cnn and see your freedom fighters(!)🤣🤣
This is soo sad!
clarissaward npwcnn NEWSFLASH:
Let them all kill each other, that’s what they want.
clarissaward npwcnn
clarissaward npwcnn They are Kurdish Terrorist Groups, not Kurdish Forces

clarissaward npwcnn 50 freaking troop 50! Thats how many men the U.S. has in Syria, think about that.
clarissaward npwcnn Trump hotels in Turkey were built with over $400 million from a turkish official, plus Turks gov spend more at Trump hotels than anyone else.
The USA used to provide stability
Take this up not only with realDonaldTrump .. but all the members of the GOP and even the people you know that support this jackass and continue to make up excuses for him. They're just as responsible for this as he is. 😒
President Trump is waiting for thanksgiving to pardon Turkey!
CNN do not give FAKE News. There is not SDF. There is only Terorist PKK PYD YPG ISIS and Western With man terorist in Syria.
We(Turkey) are not fighting the Kurdish people, we are fighting kurdish terrorists. our goal is to end terrorism. Don't be fooled by fake news.
Acosta Agent Trump successfully executing his mandate to divide the West and specifically have the US shunned. This will cause decades of harm. Putin laughed.
A NATO member starting a war against the Kurds, our allies in the fight against ISIS? Time to question Turkey within NATO....
Turkey is not fighting with Kurdish. Kurds are our brothers. Turkey is fighting with imperialist power’s tong Ypg-pkk pyd
Stay on impeachment THIS IS HIS DISTRACTION HE IS F'ING SICK
realDonaldTrump do you see exactly what the freakin hell you’ve done a$$hole?! 😡😡😡😡
This is how a Madman treats his allies. The Ukraine better be prepared for an all out invasion by Russia because Trump has made Russia his personal friend.
The operation is not for Kurds. It is for PKK. If you come Turkey and speak with Kurdish people in big cities,you can understand how we live in peace together. But PKK is a terrorist group and we are not stupid!
Americans are heart ❤️ broken. WE Republicans demand DC Republicans impeach a corrupt man and POTUS Trump TODAY 🗳🗳🗳🗳🤬🤬🤬🤬☦️☦️☦️☦️❤️☦️👫🇺🇸
Why would these people ever trust anyone again Two Dictators playing with poor peoples lives Shame on Them
Be proud America this is how bone spurs take care of Americans friends. Watch the bombers striking.
Chaotic scene? FakenewsCNN , Turkish people suffering of PKK/PYD terrorist since 40.years and have lost more than 30 Thousand civilians in region included innocent pregnant woman and babies because of the terrorist attacks by PYD/PKK + 3Millon Syrian refugees located in Turkey
Trump owns this but the questions is what's behind his decision to withdraw troops? Something has to be there and is probably scary
CNN needs to focus immediately on what's happening with the Kurds in Syria. Shining the spotlight on the situation for the world to see is the only way to prevent massive bloodshed and highlight Trump's monstrous betrayal of an ally. KurdsBetrayedByTrump
So sad. Trump is truly an evil person. 😡
TRUMP YOU OWN THIS NO MATTER THE OUT COME !!!!
Thank GOD AMERICA isn’t involved!!!!
Ffs we are not fighting kurds or killing civilians. We are only cleaning terrorists (pkk/ypg/isis) from our borders. Kurds have been our brothers since I don't even remember when. This is just bad or 'fake' news. Stop misleading please.
Keep in mind, this is 48 hours after realDonaldTrump caved to pressure from the Turkish leader who met w/Russian & Iranian leaders earlier this week. He was easily outsmarted and outplayed by 3 adversaries of the US. You think it’s the 1st time?
The whole world will see the power of the Turks. Ottoman came back 💪🇹🇷😉
Acosta Someone is due to rot in hell for this
Must make those Americans who fought beside the Kurds proud of America today.
My heart is sore pained within me: and the terrors of death are fallen upon me. Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, and horror hath overwhelmed me. And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! for then would I fly away, and be at rest. - Psalm 55:4-6
OMG...this is horrible... oh wait... had to check the map... yep.... nevermind... NOT OUR PROBLEM
ITS NOT OUR PROBLEM.
Time for the rest of the world to abandon Trump, sorry U.S.
Great picture of how we now treat our allies. They will never trust Americans again.
POTUS Look what you’ve done. These people fought our enemies and we abandon them.
You all here do not understand Turkey. We can not allow any autonomous structure alongside our border. This is so sensitive. We would do what it takes. It is so important for us keep Syria as a united country. Anyone who challenge this reality has to face an army which full of
chilepeppermama And isis prisoners go free
What has trump done 😟
The blood of the Kurdish people is on the hands of realDonaldTrump and his GOP enablers!
What time did you guys book RickSantorum to come on air today & tell us all that this isn't happening & that it is fake news made to make his dear leader look bad?
Their blood is on your hands Trump
Kurds didn’t fight against ISIS for US. All they care is to divide Syria and make their own state. They fought for themselves. They real ally for US is the second strongest army of Nato and 60 year old strategic partner of US = Turkey LindseyGrahamSC camanpour
Acosta TurkeyTrump TrumpIsAMurderer MoscowMitch
Hoping and praying Kurds and Christians can stay safe from the Turkish attacks. So sorry this is happening to them. They deserved better outcome than this.
So I guess realDonaldTrump will use all of his wisdom to crush turkey’s economy now!?! I’m sure it will be very easy to do?
Turkey's swift invasion of Syria is probably because Erdogan knows Trump may change his mind and do the complete opposite
Acosta Well at least Trump's hotels are safe.
Acosta I am so sorry, our president is guilty of so many things

Acosta Are you journalists gonna have the b*lls to take the GOP to task for bootlicking the nation into this disgusting move?
a perfectly good way to seed hatred among former allies....what a disgrace🙈
CIA and Deep State own You.
Acosta Is this enough for Trump to act with a Humanitarian intervention against Turkey?
Acosta Way to go realDonaldTrump What a great betrayal. You have no morals.
Acosta Anyone left in the GOP is just a Trump supporter. We have no government now. No hope for a future, just blind loyalty to one person.
Sad day for the world 😪🌍😪thanks to the heartless crook, Trump.
Acosta trump, the self-proclaimed genius, has caused all this misery. Ppl dying. Ppl having to flee their homes. Does it even register that he’s giving comfort to the enemy - ISIS?
Acosta Sensible move 👍🏻
Acosta Trump is the Anti-Christ himself. Trump is the one that will kill lives for his own gain. People have voted for him and support him will forever have that blood on their souls. The supposed ‘Christians’
That’s an INVASION.
Acosta This Telephone Call 'frightening' is this why this was moved to safe file? This is horrendous.the Kurds are guarding ISIS.ISIS will rise again.the poor Kurds.
Acosta Shameful deeds by our Fake President !
Acosta Great and unmatched Wisdom in effect
Acosta Trust CNN for the most up-to-date information from the war zone
Acosta Blood is on your hands, Trumpers. Now you're complicit in genocide.
Acosta 😢😢😢
Acosta NoFlyZone4Rojava KRGaction rojava
Acosta So beautiful
Acosta Wouldn’t have been this way of Obama hadn’t gotten us involved in the first place
What. Fighting in the Middle East.
Another example of POTUS realDonaldTrump destroying US credibility abroad. Any nation joining a coalition with the US against Iran or any other country does so at their own peril. Depending on Donald Trump to have your back is like depending on him to pay his debts.
So when does trumpdog unmatched wisdom kick in.
This is the thanks they get from the United States,' their ally' for helping defeat ISIS.
Always remember, realDonaldTrump is the American president who willfully set countless ISIS fighters free in Syria, while granting Turkey a clear path to move in and slaughter our long standing, loyal Kurdish allies.
Trump knows that his time is limited in office, and so does Putin, so he needs to finish doing Putin's business in the WH...too bad the Republicans are letting him get away with everything.
And the US does nothing. Shameful.
Turkey is not fighting with Kurdish. Kurds are our brothers. Turkey is fighting with imperialist power’s tong Ypg-pkk
Dolandirilar bu hale getirdi her tarafi sağ sol diye bisey yok hepsi yalan şimdide sakal devam ediyor büyük oyun oynayi insanlarin haklari öldürülüyor evet
Sleep tight realDonaldTrump your impeachment is no longer news.
