Turkey suffers mass casualties in Syria airstrike

[Swordsmyth]

Turkish forces suffered heavy casualties on Thursday when dozens of troops were hit by an airstrike in northeastern Syria apparently ordered by the Syrian government.
The New York Times reported Thursday that at least 22 Turkish soldiers were killed in an airstrike on a Turkish observation post in Syria, with one Syrian aid agency telling the Times that the number of fatalities could be as high as 34.
A convoy resupplying the post was attacked, Turkish officials told the Times, before the post itself was hit by the airstrike. No Syrian forces on either side of the conflict were injured in the attack, according to the newspaper.

Maybe so, but I bet the US will jump in and lob a few cruise missiles to crater some airfields.

Then again, Assad may get knocked off like the Iranian General.

Turkey suffers mass casualties in Syria airstrike

Think what you might of globalist neoconservatives driving MAGA foreign policy or 'take the oil' narratives etc but luring in Turkish troops into Syria recently was brilliant strategy to continue war violence there in the aftermath of ISIS terrorists roll up to to pit two enemies of our closest ally Israel against each other.

Granted Turkey had sent its troops to stand with America in Afghanistan after 9/11 and they gave lives for American led for IOF, Turkish leader has also been saying some pretty bad things about Israel's handling of Gaza occupation.

This alongwith recent US led military strikes in Iraq could also play well for 2020 MAGA election funding and support from various wings of Media owners. Thank you ss for sharing a somewhat positive story.

Russia's military has denied it is responsible for airstrikes that killed dozens of Turkish soldiers on Thursday night in the Syrian province of Idlib, in an incident which threatens to cause a major escalation in Syria's civil war.
