This the first incident I’ve heard of a turk attack directly on the Syrian army. This smells like a provocation like that when the turks shot down the Russian Su-24.
Was this turk artillery attack on Syrian forces intentional, or a screw up?
Was this with full regime authorisation, or by rogue elements that escaped the earlier purges, acting on their own or for a foreign regime?
“MEPs voted 479 to 37 in favor of the non-binding motion сalling on the European Commission and national governments to institute the largely symbolic freeze in negotiations with Ankara.
“The European Parliament … strongly condemns the disproportionate repressive measures taken in Turkey since the failed military coup attempt in July,” the motion read, according to Reuters.”
‘NATO out!’ Anti-war activists clash with police during Italian base demo (VIDEO)
“Video footage shows dozens of protesters trying to enter the base by cutting the fence, with the aim of halting the military drills being carried out there. Demonstrators threw stones at police, who attempted to block them by firing tear gas and using batons, Ruptly reported.
The demonstrators chanted “NATO out from Sardinia!” as police surrounded them at the entrance to the base.”
“A Chicago politician who accused ‘aggressive squirrels’ of causing refuse chaos in the city suffered serious injuries after one of the furry rodents knocked him off his bike.”
“One of the Royal Navy’s cutting edge Type 45 destroyers had to be humiliatingly towed back to port just two days after setting off to take part in NATO exercises.
The HMS Duncan is believed to have suffered total propulsion failure, forcing it back into Plymouth harbor on Wednesday, according to the Telegraph.”
As I understand it, the RN ships do not do well outside the room temperature fishbowl inside ‘The Greatest Empire Television Has Ever Seen Ballroom’ in Buckingham Palace.
For all those who mistakenly thought that the ‘coup’ in Turkey was anything other than an Erdogan power grab/consolidation….do we have a Turkey for you this thanksgiving
Why did Russia give Turkey the green light to go into Syria? Did they actually think Erdogan would keep his word and limit the scope of the operation? Are Russians gullible? Or maybe just patient, I don’t know. It’s frustrating.
I wonder how true this is. If it is, then the prophesies of that famous Eastern Orthodox prelate could be true. He said that when Russia attacks Turkey, right then Our Lord will return.
For a while after the supposed coup, I thought at it wasn’t a true prophesy. But now I a, not so sure.
This weekend (Sunday) the Syrian army has a huge victory, almost a military miracle…in one day they have taken half of islamist-controlled east Aleppo, a hardened concrete city. Amazing, and very good news.

This is OT, but there isn’t a recent general subjects thread to put it in. Unintentional irony, or the beginning of a dedicated squirrel insurgency?

In that case what did Ergodan hope to gain by accusing the USA and certain European countries of being behind the coup?

Was wondering when the blame Russia crowd would show up, recentros. You took a longer time than usual this time.

Russia and Turkey have been in wars before but the prophesy didn’t come true after those.
