    #ISIS has a very clear interest in carrying out the #AnkaraBlast, the YPG on the other side risks losing everything including US support

        For #ISIS the uptick in tensions in southeastern Turkey is a bonanza: The instability makes it difficult for Turkey to control the border

        It jeopardizes any possible attempt by #Turkey to close the border. This border is critical for #ISIS

        It may also hinder any upcoming Kurdish op against Manbij (in eastern Aleppo), which has been in the works #Syria #Turkey

        The only risk ISIS is taking is to accelerate a Turkish op in Syria. It's a risk worth taking given chance for #Russia/#Turkey incident >>>

        @michaelh992 And Turkey likely knows well that it was ISIS who carried the attack, but it does not serve its narrative to admit..

        @michaelh992 @BiladFransa US support is far less important to the YPG than in the past. The US need the YPG more than the YPG need the US.

      @michaelh992 Michael could this be situation where PKK couldn't help themselves after curfews inside Turkey? I agree on YPG unlikeliness.
