White House statement, Trump "urged Turkey to 

Urged? How mighty presidential.

Another of Trump's conflicts of interest.

From Wikipedia:

In December 2015, Trump stated in a radio interview that he had a "conflict of interest" in dealing with Turkey because of his property, saying "I have a little conflict of interest, because I have a major, major building in Istanbul ... It’s called Trump Towers. Two towers, instead of one. Not the usual one, it’s two. And I’ve gotten to know Turkey very well."[6]

Turkey has systematically attacked the Kurds for decades using U.S. provided arms. Kurds make up a large portion of East Turkey (and Northern Iraq and Syria), and their attacks of Kurds are equivalent to ethnic cleansing.

What amazes me is that the Kurds still work with the U.S. after all the times the U.S. has burned them and supported regimes oppressing them. The U.S. lately helped them in Iraq and are helping them with ISIS, so there is an aligning of interests. Plus, the Kurds are (along with Jordan) the only group in the area (including our NATO ally Turkey) that seem rational.

U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday urged his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan --to limit --his forces' assault against a Kurdish enclave in northern Syria, the White House said.

What a funny man this Trumpy is!

How the hell can Erdogan limit his attack if his aim is to destroy the Kurds?

By telling Turkiye to use a slingshot? Lol!

Amerika should act like America and support the ally Kurds in establishing their very own Kurdish Republic and immediately establish diplomatic relations with them stat!

The great USA should not repeat what they did to allies ROC-Taiwan and the ROP (Philippines) , both of which Washington totally abandoned in their confrontation vs China.

Heck, Uncle Trumpy even erased, deleted, vanished the da-kine ROC flag in the State Department's website just so recently .

Abe should exercise caution in dealing with the Amerikan double crossers!

So Japan really believes that America will help them if there is a war against North Korea or China?

Germany is complaining that Turkey is using their Leopard tanks in Syria. Turkey is complaining that they want the latest armour upgrades for them, ASAP. We can guess that the PYG's anti-tank weapons must be hurting.

First of all, YPG and PYD are terrorist organizations which are connected to PKK. PKK is in the list of terrorist organizations of USA, European countries and UN which claimed more than 40000 lives, most of them Kurdish, Turkish and many other civilians. It was based on Marxist ideology in the beginning but later (after occupation of Iraq by US led coalition) they dropped that Ideology and allied with the USA. It's all clear that major powers like USA, EU and Brittan want to take root in the region, so they create and use some tools like Al-qaeda, Taliban, ISIS, PKK etc. to destabilise the region. They claimed that Saddam had WMD before starting the crusade but they found nothing. Their primary intention is to design the region considering safety of Israel. Arabic Spring was a plot and they managed to make the Middle East more destabilised. Germany and USA provides such sophisticated weapons that they witheld their NATO ally Turkey. Germany provided Panzerfaust 3 and MILAN anti-tanks to YPG. Friends like these who needs enemies!

Remember Osama bin Laden was a CIA backed fighter in Afghanistan.
