@emptywheel I think they will hit Isis hard. Refugees putting enormous strain on Turkey's economy, resources of security. Unsustainable.

@HT4Real Refugees have been straining Turkey's economy for years. But somehow that never changed Turkey's tacit support for ISIS. -
@emptywheel Yes, but this influx from Syria dwarfs numbers from previous years. Erdoğan sees the added security risk, along w/PKK uptick. -
@HT4Real Do you have a source for your claims? -
@emptywheel About influx of refugees? Or uptick in PKK terrorism within Türkiye? Nothing specific - reg reader of@HDNER &@todayszamancom -

@emptywheel An understatement but unfort still needs to be said bec so many ppl ignorant on what's rly happning in Syria, massive prop -
@joanneleon You'd think the Saudi insistence that Assad won't survive this would be a tell. -
@emptywheel Yeah, bit of a hint! Plus the Turks rolling tanks thru Kurdish areas of Turkey & their Euphrates "red line" for Kurds in Syria -
@emptywheel + these are Kurds who they have no jurisdiction over (the ones in Syria). Turkey has no right to say where they can & can't go -
@emptywheel Decades of stronger army Turkey & Israel bombing & interfering in Syria was never legal. Now they can't & they're rdy 2start WW3

@emptywheel that's why I question how grave a threat ISIS is to USA - if regional ME powers aren't panicking, why should we? -
@BusterBroncoEsq There are other conclusions one might draw by the lack of panic among our Sunni allies. -
@emptywheel that's true too
