Turkey sends more troops, tanks to Syria amid Idlib assault

Syrian rebel drive toward the government positions near the village of Nerab, in Idlib province, Thursday, Feb. 6, 2020. Turkey sent more reinforcements into northwestern Syria on Thursday, setting up new positions in an attempt to stop a Syrian government offensive on the last rebel stronghold in the war-torn country, state media and opposition activists said.

Turkey, which backs the Syrian opposition and has been monitoring a cease-fire in the rebel enclave, protested the government offensive, calling it a violation of the truce it negotiated with Russia. In recent weeks, Ankara sent in troops and equipment to reinforce monitoring points it set up to observe a previous cease-fire, which has since crumbled, but also deployed around towns threatened by the Syrian military advances.

Syrian government troops took control of the former rebel town of Saraqeb this week. The town is strategic because it sits on the intersection of two major highways, one linking the capital, Damascus, to the north, and another connecting the country’s west and east. Turkish officials say three Turkish observations posts are currently inside Syrian government-controlled areas in Idlib. A security official, speaking on condition of anonymity in line with government rules, insisted the posts would not be evacuated.

Raymond_LLM Thanks donald for F’ing that up just like everything you touch turns to excrement. You have stirred the pot of muddle eastern tribalism of which you have absolutely no knowledge. Hoping to start the Battle of Armageddon and think Jesus will save u and Billy Barr, I doubt it!

Backed by Russia being the key words. Russia is trying to take over the middle east and their oil.

Turkey is eager to protects it's terrorists..

What a shame if Turkey & Russia were to not be aligned with Syria & Iran. Maybe fewer genocidal acts will be committed.

They exchanged fire and 4 turks and 70 syrian soldiers died. Trump fuels the fire by moving more troops from iraq to the syrian oil fields to give the rebels a boost to get more deaths. Dirty trump.

ترکی زندہ باد

All these troop movements are starting to look just like the retweet icon....

Not surprising for the “left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing” strategy 😡

Ich glaube, wir stehen kurz vor dem grossen Knall, zwischen Russland & der Türkei. Ich kann nur für uns alle hoffen, dass die Nato sich daraus hält.

RTErdogan! PresidentBAssad! And you thought Putin was on your side! He is playing both of you. Of course.

Why is turkey entering someone else’s land?

We Fixed Everything That’s Wrong with Turkey ChiliYesterday our deputy editor Julia Kramer RAN over to lallimusic and was like '...your turkey chili. It's SO much more than what I thought turkey chili could be.' lallimusic id love to try this, but it seems like every BA recipe relies on ancho chiles, guajillo chiles and pasilla chiles. i haven't seen a single supermarket in my area (Suffolk County) carry these. lallimusic I’ll make a veggie version of this. lallimusic That isn't chili. Call it Brooklyn fowl bean soup if you like. It isn't chili.

U.S. Troops in Standoffs With Russian Military Contractors in SyriaRussian personnel are engaging in tense standoffs with U.S. troops on highways in northeastern Syria in violation of agreements between Washington and Moscow to stay out of one another’s way in the war-ravaged country, the top U.S. envoy to Syria said Wednesday. Sand, and lots of it. As a matter of fact only SAND everywhere you look. More and more sand. LET THEM HAVE IT This seems not good. Well their puppet won his show trial yesterday so I am sure Russia is feeling pretty cocky right now. But our troops are in harms way and the poor Syrian people are still stuck in this perpetual Hell. Corporate ghouls sit contemplating how to exploit this tragedy. This is 2020.
