Turkey Spills Out Secret Details Of US Troop Locations
Jonah Bennett, Daily Caller, on July 19, 2017
Turkey has decided to knock the U.S. via its state news agency by leaking out secret details of U.S. troop locations in northern Syria.Anadolu news agency published a list of 10 U.S. military installations in northern Syria and even included details about the number of troops in specific areas, which is a shocking move for a NATO ally, The Daily Beast reports.
Story continues below advertisementTwo of the bases were already known. Some other locations had previously leaked out through a news agency in Iran, but Turkey compiled all of the information and put it out on blast through Anadolu Tuesday via its English language site.
A spokesman for Operation Inherent Resolve asked The Daily Beast not to publish base details from the Anadolu news agency.
The U.S., which is already operating in Syria without the permission of the regime of President Bashar al-Assad, has also faced ire from Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan over its support of a U.S.-backed, Kurdish-led fighting force, known as the Syrian Democratic Forces. The SDF is comprised of a large number of fighters from the Kurdish YPG militia, which has apparent links to the PKK, otherwise known as the Kurdistan Workers Party.
For Turkey and the U.S. as well, the PKK is a terrorist group. The YPG first emerged as a Kurdish fighting force in 2004 and has battled ISIS since 2014.
Turkey’s National Security Council said Monday that weapons sent to the Kurdish YPG force in Syria had already ended up in the hands of the PKK.
Turkish officials revealed in late June that Secretary of Defense James Mattis apparently intends to take U.S.-provided weapons back from the SDF battling ISIS in Syria after the fight is finally finished.
“I want to believe that Turkey’s allies will side with us, not with terrorist organizations,” Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said. “I hope this mistake will be reversed as soon as possible.”
What the Turkish officials revealed in June contradicted the express and public comments of the Pentagon.
Army Col. John Dorrian, spokesman for Operation Inherent Resolve, said in May that any weapons sent to the Kurds would remain with the Kurds. Dorrian did say, however, that the U.S. would monitor usage of the weapons.

How can you trust a Muslim country . And that is why USA should be out of Iraq.
And NATO member Turkey allows harvesting of organs from refugees and killing them in the process http://tinyurl.com/mfpzzl8
And that includes killing children too ! And even UN was aware of it for over 3 years but keeps blaming syrian govt !

The attitude of Turkey appears to be conflicted over ISIS, on the one hand there is obvious evidence of collusion, oil trade, organ harvesting etc and support for their religious fervency, on the other hand Erdogan wants total power and rule himself. Same goes for Saudi Arabia, their values probably closer still, again the only thing seperating is that the Saudi Royals expect to be heads of a Royal Caliphate. The US needs Middle East bases, personally I think the cost is prostituting your morals too far.

This is how Turkey likes the Kurds, unarmed. It makes it easier for Turkish Forces!

However, genocide is actually very EASY when the victims don’t fight back.

Why don’t you try visiting to Kurdistan…find out how wonderful, moderate, secular they really are up close and personal. Just for laughs, try publicly criticising islum or their holey prophet while you’re there. Call it a sociological experiment and you might even get a grant to fund your trip.
Just because the SS slaughtered the SA doesn’t make the SA the good guys.

Here’s some stories the f’ing enemedia doesn’t tell you about your “moderate” Kurdish muslum buddies:

Don’t you think that the “Kurdish women’s rights activists “are moderate? It would be nice to train and arm them and sic them on the mullahs.

Your excuses and obfuscations for the f’ing Kurdish muslums is vile. It’s hilarious how atheist defenders of muslums and islum don’t ever seem to have the desire to live anywhere muslums have political power (e.g. Dearbornistan, Michigan).

I asked you what you had done for the brave female activists who try to change the evil societies they were born into. Your response was to attack me and make a comment about me not wanting to live in Dearborn.
There are good Kurds and bad Kurds. You don’t care about those who want to escape from or reform their nasty islamist society. You think I should punish myself for recognizing the humanity of innocents? No thanks.

I don’t trust f’ing muslums whatever their sex is, islum is a lie and f’ing muslums are liars.
I expect when an independent Krudistan is inevitably formed it’ll join the growing list of islamic pig’s anus states that constitute the OIC.

An example of how your “moderate” f’ing Kurdish muslums are hard at work for allah:
In spite of the region’s diversity, discrimination and violence against
ethnic and religious minorities persists. They report systemic bias and
often live as second-class citizens who endure arbitrary legal
decisions. USCIRF also found Yazidis pressured to identify as Kurds,
persecution of people who criticize Kurdish authorities, and Kurds
seizing land from Christians.
Kurdish police blocked a peaceful Christian demonstration against land
encroachment in April 2016, Human Rights Watch reported. UN agencies
also face accusations of ignoring the needs of displaced Christians
living in the region, according to World Watch Monitor.

Guess what? Discrimination and violence exist everywhere. If you are that afraid, your best bet is to live in an enclave surrounded only by your own kind.

Syria: Not our monkeys and not our circus.
Turkey, our “ally”, openly supports Hamas and Hezbollah as well as covertly assisting ISIS. Turkey sends material aid to Gaza including chemicals that can be used to manufacture rocket propellant.
Doubtless Israel could use its C-130 aircraft to supply Kurdistan with a buttload (official middle eastern unit of measurement) of heavy weapons as well as shoulder fired and vehicle mounted anti-aircraft missiles, communication equipment, access to real time satellite mapping, etc. Let’s see Turkey punch THAT tar baby.
There is no Istanbul. There is only occupied Constantinople.
