The US Is Helping Israel & The GCC Team Up Against Turkey In “Syrian Kurdistan” | OrientalReview.org

 

 The US is setting up so-called “observation posts” along Syria’s border
with Turkey. This controversial move was sharply criticized by Turkey,
which sees it as further proof that the
US is continuing to protect Syrian Kurdish groups that Ankara officially
regards as terrorists. The argument can be made that the US is trying
to deter Turkey’s threatened anti-terrorist intervention against the YPG
by putting its own forces between these two possible combatants,
wagering that President Erdogan doesn’t have the political will to risk
the hefty consequences associated with his military potentially injuring
or even killing American troops in the course of any forthcoming
campaign there. [ 469 more words ]
