Erdogan: we will 'strangle' U.S.-backed force in Syria "before it's even born"
BEIRUT/ISTANBUL (Reuters) - Turkey’s Tayyip Erdogan threatened on Monday to “strangle” a planned 30,000-strong U.S.-backed force in Syria “before it’s even born,” as Washington’s backing for Kurdish fighters drove a wedge into relations with one of its main Middle East allies.
“A country we call an ally is insisting on forming a terror army on our borders,” Erdogan said of the United States in a speech in Ankara. “What can that terror army target but Turkey?”
Erdogan builds empire. He doesn't need weak USA for it.
Nathan Scott
Poor Israel. I hope Turkey won't kill Jewish army of Kurds.
Tyler Reyes
Leave Assad alone pls
Brayden Lee
Don't these guys own F-35's?
Jace Reyes
I don't think so. But they have 8th strongest army in the world, according to statistics

Why does Sup Forums hates East Slavs and Turkey? I thought Eurasian ethnicities were the final master race.
Michael Gomez
bannerlord is the only good think about turkshits
Kevin Evans
You're just jelly of Turkey' hybrid vigor
Dominic Bennett
No , tho they are included in the f35 program
Jace Parker
even so, what good is a masterrace, if said masterrace is hostile to you?
Dominic Smith
Based Turkey.

Well, actually East Slavs and Turks are really a human trash mostly, with some exceptions.
Juan Taylor
Then all America has to do is withhold them and say "you better behave or we won't give you the shiny fighter jets".
Jace Ross
The USA didn't give them technology transfer of the Patriot system, so they bought S-400 from Russia.
Brayden Torres
East Slavs are ?
Josiah Sanchez
East Slavs = Ukrainians, Russians and so on.
Jaxon Sanders
How did kicking Russia, Iran and the Hezzbols out of Syria work out for them?
Joseph Wright
I honestly really like Turkey as of late. I really hope them and Iran team up to take over the middle east and restore order. I can't believe I'm pro Turkish now, my great grandfather who killed them by the dozens a century ago must be spinning in his grave right now.
Grayson Murphy
They are the second most powerful NATO country after us, are impressively self sufficient and have an amazing private sector. Turkey is a regional shot caller and will hold much more power as the demographics in Europe change to their liking, especially in Germany.
Christian Cook
Iranians are still vastly anti-Turkey, though. There is absolutely no reason to be pro-Turkey since they've proven to be turncoats.
People tend to forget the whole Syria thing was made possible by them having a major logistical role. Iran and Russia sure didn't forget that, though.
Nolan Gutierrez
that's just roach daydreaming
Aaron Harris
Nice move by Trump Arm the Kurds, bring terror to the streets of the Turkrats. Avenge the genocide!
Eli Thomas

Yeah, almost as much as the Polish.
Connor Jenkins
the guys that played a "major logistical role" where FETO. They are in prison atm.
Isaiah Brooks
Yup and the noble polish are of course on par with the aryan masterrace
Caleb Wilson
Weren't the founders of the Ottoman empire Salafists? No doubt they are full on sunni now, but Islam in Turkey is it's own brand since they have a superiority complex from the Ottomans being Caliph for 3/4 of a millennium. I think the age of antisectarianism in Islam is coming to an end.
Aaron Adams
Erdogan is more a US-style culture warrior than a sunni hardliner
Juan Parker
A shitskin country wants to kick the US out of another shitskin country that will end up its enemy no matter what.
Eli Jackson
Friendly reminder not so long ago, Erdogan called Assad a terrorist, openly supported the "rebellion", and openly criticized and showed bellicist behavior towards Russia. You can find this trend holds true until ISIS began to seriously lose their footing.
>the logistics team magically finds itself in prison, and thus it proves Erdogan is a good guy No. It proves my point: he's a fucking turncoat.
Ethan Adams
Turks are building up a huge presence all along the border. The Kurdish Afrin pocket is surrounded by Turks on 4 flanks. It's happening very soon more than 30,000 are surrounding that pocket alone with 180,000 along the Rojava front looking hungrily south. Artillery strikes and air strikes already happening even now as I type. YPG responding with mortars,rockets and light artillery on Turkish controlled Syrian territory.
Owen Sanchez
Ahh the extreme turkish hubris again...
Juan Gonzalez
We have nukes in Turkey atm, we really need to get them out asap. It's kind of an awkward situation though, as it's obvious to everyone they should be pulled, but the moment we move to remove them it's an open admittance that US/roach relationships are going to shit. And the roaches might just be dumb enough to try and steal our nukes or prevent there removal before we can do so.
Lucas Reyes
Was it even him turn coating or was it that failed coup that made him realize that he needs to stop being a pawn? How we're policies after the failed coup by the US/Gulenists?
Leo Ortiz
ROACHED O A C H E D

Juan Rodriguez
Poland is pretty based atm.
Lincoln Gray
BANNER LORD 2 WHEN!?
Samuel Allen
It's him turncoating. Again, you need to see what his stance was on Assad before the whole Syria operation:
He flipped his stance 180 degrees in the span of mere months. There actually were political individuals and groups heavily criticizing his stance at the time, they basically were deemed traitors and terrorist supporters and were ousted from turkish politics. And now, because the side he was actively and DIRECTLY supporting failed, he's trying to hop on the victory train and acts all mighty and shit. He's only fooling the regional sunnis, who are well known for being eternal sheeple anyway.
When you look for a potential ally, that's as big a red flag as it gets, really.
Xavier Fisher
he can't even hold a 10 mile buffer zone on his border, erDOGan is a laughing stock getting cucked by some hermit who lives in a cabin in the poconos
David Richardson
Arabs are fine in their own land. Israel and the diaspora Jews work hand in hand to destroy Europe demographically. Jews are the real monsters.
Zachary Foster
>he's trying to hop on the victory train
they are just as bad as the italiens
Gabriel Powell
They're not any US backed Syrian forces anymore.
Lincoln Wood
I assume he means Kurds in Syria. We back those guys because our Jewish masters say we must.
Owen Wood
yes there is. PYD for example.
Joshua Johnson
>Again, you need to see what his stance was on Assad before the whole Syria operation: Don't blame him, blame his father to training and harboring PKK terrorists for years. Hafez backed off after Turkey threatened them with war. Years later, Erdogan wanted to befriend Assad, but Assad's arrogance lead to all this hostility. Syria, especialls Hafez and later the shortsighted politics of Assad led to a hostile Turkey.
Anthony Smith
To put it bluntly, yes. He's simply asphyxiating his country from forming worthy alliances. One day he's sucking US cock, the other he's pretending he isn't.
At the very best, he'll be in charge of the Israeli puppet state in charge of maintaining the Sunni world asleep, which isn't exactly the hardest thing to do, considering the last few hundred years or so.
Benjamin Nelson
Aren't Turkey US client state? Maybe US should crank up prices of UH-60 and F-16 spare parts. Maybe even downgrade the armaments for Turkish F-35's.
Nicholas Murphy
They produce the spare part themselves, under licence ofcourse. >F-35 They should be happy that they sell any at all.
Sebastian Sanders
Only Amerimutt considers Roaches to be white.
They produce some of the components, but not even nearly everything.
Nathan Long
>Israel wants Syria down for ages now, but they decide it's time to act >Turkey is expected to be in charge of the logistics of providing, training and arming the """Syrian""" rebels. >"b-but that's because Assad is arrogant! we have a justification to totally shit on his country!" Fucking roaches. If anything, Assad was right to see Erdogan as a treacherous motherfucker, since that's precisely what happened. There is absolutely no way to justify and/or legitimize Erdogan's stance in any other way than "might is right".
Israel directly took over Turkey since Trump got elected.
Joseph Lee
they'll just start buying Russian planes for 1/10 the price
William Butler
>>Israel wants Syria down for ages now, but they decide it's time to act >>Turkey is expected to be in charge of the logistics of providing, training and arming the """Syrian""" rebels. >>"b-but that's because Assad is arrogant! we have a justification to totally shit on his country!" Backthen, Syria under Hafez trained, equipped and harbored PKK inside Syria. They've actively supported the insurgency. Turkey got backstabbed first by Hafez, now they're getting revenge.
Nathaniel Taylor
Gonna need a template for reasons
Jason Richardson
Comes with three times as expensive maintenance and higher total costs.
Russians have three kinds of clients for their planes. Ones that are completely embargoed by west, partially embargoed and China that reverse engineers everything they buy from Russia.
David Robinson
You must be mistaken
Ian Gray
Reminder that Turkey will become the biggest economic and military powerhouse of Europe,
Joseph Myers
You do realize each and every Syria-Turkey conflict can be "justified" by a backstabbing made in prior years, right? Yet, all those conflicts had one major point in common: they were mainly localized and very internal.
We're not talking about what can very well be considered as a typical case of Syrian-Turkish relationship there. Syria was to fall, because it was to the benefit of Israel, and Turkey actively helped turning Syria into yet another Lybia, by helping literal parasites, and with most of the western world backing them.
Show your flag, roach faggot.
Charles Robinson
But doing something like that is instant war declaration. King roach isn't that stupid
Dominic Watson
So when will these fucking Turks have the balls to take on the Jews in Israel??? The Turks are expanding and Israel is in their sphere of influence geo-politically speaking.
Luke White
>Turkey actively helped turning Syria into yet another Lybia, by helping literal parasites, and with most of the western world backing them. Well, Hafez tried the same shit backthen, it didn't work. Suddenly its so "unfair" when the tables are turned. An eye for an eye. >Show your flag, roach faggot. If you want to reduce this discussion into your meaningless "muh community" shit then I just filter you. No need to be mad. Besides, if Assad were so smart, his country wouldn't be in this mess.
Logan Rivera
Sasuga Brit-senpai. You have top notch intel as always.
Turk here. Sorry for the proxy. Sup Forums banned here. Ask away.
Sebastian Nelson
The newks have already been removed from Turkey. Now in Romania, I think.
Austin Cooper
This. Turkey is currently being underestimated.
Logan Robinson
Meh, can't wait when Russia and Iran will team up with USA and Kurds to genocide turks for supporting ISIS.
Isaac Butler
>"Suddenly its so "unfair" when the tables are turned." >what is the Southeastern Anatolia Project >what is Hatay
Fuck you and your local feuds. I don't care at all. You've been backstabbing one another like the fools you are, while the obvious enemy is striving right next to you. But when one of you hops on the plan of a people branded as the Synagogue of Satan, don't expect people to treat it as casually as your everyday pettiness, you roach.
I celebrated when Turkey de facto lost all credibility and Syria came out victorious from this proxy war. I will celebrate once more when the Saudi regime collapses on itself, knowing full well you are next.
Blake Cruz
>Hatay Noone forced them, they voted for it. >Southeastern Anatolia Project Clean up project to finally wrap up the insurgency >I don't care at all. You do. >I celebrated when Turkey de facto lost all credibility. Which country has any credibilty? >you roach Why do you still assume that?
Caleb Stewart
>russia >teaming up with usa lmao
Austin Brooks
Why not? If Turkey spregs out and attack kurds, it will be inevitable.
Noah Ramirez
Stop killing my ISIS minions Putin! We want whats left of the middle east destabilized so the migrant crisis can be exacerbated. Then Europe will continue to say that I'm a better president than Trump!
Noah Baker
>You do. Not enough to argue on extremely localized conflicts, no. >Which country has any credibilty? Iran and Russia, those who didn't resort to siding with the Devil to fulfill a personal vendetta, and that's assuming Erdogan isn't a cocksucking jew pawn that does everything his (((masters))) say. >Why do you still assume that? Your partisan-like stance and your justification that the ends justify the means, but only if your country does it, is typical of the run-of-the-mill middle eastern nationalist.
Again, show your flag, roach.
Charles Gonzalez
>Aren't Turkey US client state? Erdogan took it personally when the US tried to assassinate him. He became a lot fonder of Putin, as it was Russian military that warned him .. It seems he went within 10 mins if being taken out. Since then, the US has had to remove its newks. US arming Kurds only exacerbates the tensions.
Don't any of you dip into the Syria General on this board?
Jordan Fisher
>Iran and Russia >Iran >Russia heh >Again, show your flag, roach. I'll show you my finger, into the filter you go. hon hon hon.
David Cruz
>Iran >Russia Still butthurt over turkmen asses getting kicked?
Wyatt Taylor
>"heh" >I SURE SHOWED HIM!!!11! Well my apologies for rooting for countries who made it very clear from the very fucking beginning that such and such was a friend and ally, and no amount of dollarydoos nor threats could change their minds, instead of siding with turncoats now blown out of any relevancy.

Yeah, the ruskies sure showed them a lesson when they sperged out and shot your pilot down.

Do you still fund your economy with natural fart and Saturated oil ? Also gib missiles. 2020 too long. By the way when do you guys Balkanize ? You are taking too long.
Jordan Sullivan
That was before the coup and Trump election, back when american neocons were in damage control mode, fully supporting Erdogan. We weren't going to start a fucking WW3 because of roaches autistic butthurt. But now it's different, Americans are now hostile toward turks because of the kurd situation, so they won't defend them anymore.
Brody Campbell
Kek, what have you done to get banned on Sup Forums? Spammed too much blacked porn?
Josiah Perez
>kurd situation I really want to see their faces when america starting to kill them.
Andrew Cruz
A lot of fun stuff was planned to happen in Kurdistan but then USA organized coup and Erdogan switched sides and those plans were scrapped.
Kayden Watson
Didn't Turkey suffer heavy losses against an offensive on IS? What makes you think they will fare any better against SDF?
Ayden Jenkins
Why would they do that? It doesn't make sense, kurds are the only american allies left in the region, they would rather kick Turkey out of NATO and start bombing Ankara, than betray kurds.
Jack Gonzalez
Soon
Ian Lopez
>Didn't Turkey suffer heavy losses against an offensive on IS are you serious? they killed around 3000 shitheads, took al-bab and only lost 70.
Dylan Hill
It wa a single offensive that we couldn't bring F-16 because we were on bad terms with Moskof (Russikes). Hurr Durr don't fly planes near my forces type thing. We took some infantary casulties and lost a tank + a couple AFVs but returned next week and took the village anyway. I know it sounds like classical "Roach boasting" but we can sustain some loses if we are told to. It sounds cruel but it is the way it is.
Joshua Parker
Because sooner or later the US will start killing them, this is how it is. Forgot Afghanistan?
Jackson Jones
turkey backed FSA got hit. number of turkish casulties is around 40 or so
Landon Gomez
US called for kurdish militia in turkish syria border Roaches btfo What a lovely day
William Baker
and a good number of tanks

I think you took the nukes a few decades ago

They were removed sometime around that coup attempt.
