I will tell you why Erdogan wants Manbij, to have a wider front against the """SAA""" as the only shared front between the TFSA and the Assadist forces includes the well fortified Kuweires Airforce base, the base projects power and prevent Aleppo being encircled on three sides (I will tell you why this is important), otherwise the area between al-Bab and Lake Jabbul can be easily taken. But if the TFSA were to launch an offensive from Manbij they could go around to the east of the base and connect to the lake much more easily. The three sided style of besiegement is what Turkey used against Afrin, instead of completely encricling and having the enemy fight to death, they only encircled on three sides and this gives your enemy the option of running. But all of this won't happen until after Turkey clears out Idlib of HTS, and then Russia will leave Syria as they won't have a purpose to stay (plus future, inevitable attacks on their personnel will make them pull out faster) not having the backing of Russia anymore means the ragtag militias in Aleppo would flee at the first sight of trouble.
Furthermore, by trying to push the eastern Aleppo countryside the Turks will be creating a salient, thay could be easily attacked, the Turks having been trained to NATO standards, are smarter than this so they want Manbij to prevent being flanked when taking Aleppo.
>being in this much denial Go ahead and start spamming the destroyed tank video, can't wait when Turks stop at Tel Rifaat (which they already did) and you make another retarded prediction

It is in a ceasefire agreement. The war is essentially frozen there for now. Apart from Douma. The Turks will not personally take Tell Rifat as it will be the TFSA instead. This is a test for them to see how well they can fight and if they gained experience from Afrin, you can tell this by the fact that Turkey has set up observation points and bombed the """SAA""", it is a warning to the Assadists to not intervene when it will happen.
>Speaking to Fox TV as the coup plot unfolded in Turkey on July 15, 2016, Bolton, a former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, said : “I have no charity in my heart for Erdoğan, if he goes down I'm not shedding any tears. I do not believe he is a friend to the United States.”
What do you guys think of this?

How long before Turkey captures Aleppo? Within the next six months maybe?
It probably takes Russia 20 years to build a single small boat though.

honestly the whole next set of elections is hilarious, you can't throw a rock without hitting someone in either party running that's not ex-state security or military

assange linked to a good article that funnily enough was written by some socialist blogger like a third of all democrats running for congress are ex-cia or fbi
>Red, commanded by retired Marine Corps Lieutenant General Paul K. Van Riper, adopted an asymmetric strategy, in particular, using old methods to evade Blue's sophisticated electronic surveillance network. Van Riper used motorcycle messengers to transmit orders to front-line troops and World-War-II-style light signals to launch airplanes without radio communications. >Red received an ultimatum from Blue, essentially a surrender document, demanding a response within 24 hours. Thus warned of Blue's approach, Red used a fleet of small boats to determine the position of Blue's fleet by the second day of the exercise. In a preemptive strike, Red launched a massive salvo of cruise missiles that overwhelmed the Blue forces' electronic sensors and destroyed sixteen warships. This included one aircraft carrier, ten cruisers and five of six amphibious ships. An equivalent success in a real conflict would have resulted in the deaths of over 20,000 service personnel. >Soon after the cruise missile offensive, another significant portion of Blue's navy was "sunk" by an armada of small Red boats, which carried out both conventional and suicide attacks that capitalized on Blue's inability to detect them as well as expected. >At this point, the exercise was suspended
>Burgers top Tier Navy can be beaten by motorcycle Messages and Radio-Less Airplanes

h-he cheated
>After the war game was restarted, its participants were forced to follow a script drafted to ensure a Blue Force victory. Among other rules imposed by this script, Red Force was ordered to turn on their anti-aircraft radar in order for them to be destroyed, and was not allowed to shoot down any of the aircraft bringing Blue Force troops ashore.[2] Van Riper also claimed that exercise officials denied him the opportunity to use his own tactics and ideas against Blue Force, and that they also ordered Red Force not to use certain weapons systems against Blue Force and even ordered the location of Red Force units to be revealed the absolute state of the world's "greatest" military power
>Russia will leave Syria as they won't have a purpose to stay LOL

It looks like Nubl and Zahraa are almost entirely surrounded. It would be pretty easy for the Turks and the rebels to pinch off the entire salient. Iran might not like it though since those are Shiite towns.

>Future >Israel is still on the map LOL you are very optimistic. You have no idea where this war is heading do you?
