@RichardEngel @OARichardEngel .@NBCNews viewers will never be able get the facts about the ongoing situation in Syria as @RichardEngel works literally embedded w/ YPG, PKK offshoot in Syria, both are hostile to NATO member Turkey. Here are the facts that #NBC viewers will never see through Engel. Thread
@RichardEngel @OARichardEngel @NBCNews 1) PKK/YPG, which Engel presents as “Kurds” is just a fraction w/ violent marxist-leninist ideology. They are basically commies representing only the 5% of the Syrian Kurds. Calling them “Kurds” is like claiming KKK is “Americans”.
@RichardEngel @OARichardEngel @NBCNews 2) While the Turkish army fully complies with the deal cut with the US for the facilitation the Peace Corridor, PKK/YPG terrorists continue to make violations in the #OperationPeaceSpring area,,carrying out multiple attacks with mortar, car bombs and drones.

#OperationPeaceSpring has effectively prevented the emergence of a subversive statelet at #Turkey’s doorstep, and put an end to the YPG/PKK terrorist network’s territorial plot in #Syria. This geopolitical achievement is above everything for #Ankara.
At this point, one can't help but ask the million dollar question: Does the failure of this fait accompli autonomy project remain the underlying reason of some reactions, mostly using the humanitarian guise, against Turkey’s military campaign? If so, let us give a sobering call

Following the launch of #Turkish military operations and the extremely volatile situation in northeast #Syria @MSF has taken the difficult decision to suspend the majority of its activities and #evacuate all its international staff from northeast Syria. #OperationPeaceSpring
@MSF Since Wednesday 9 October, the extreme volatile situation in northeast Syria has forced MSF international staff to evacuate from MSF’s projects in Ain Issa, Al Hol, Tal Abyad, Tal Tamer, Tal Kocher/ Yaroubiyah, #Kobane/ Ain Al Arab and #Raqqa city. #OperationPeaceSpring
@MSF These have been extremely difficult decisions, as @MSF
is very aware of the needs of fleeing and vulnerable people in the region. #OperationPeaceSpring

Some important facts when reporting on #TurkishArmy operations in #Syria:
•The #YPG has ethnically cleansed several cities of their Arab inhabitants as documented by @amnesty & others
•ISIS has carried out many terroris attacks inside #Turkey including 2016 Airport, 2017 NYE
•As with every war, each side pushes its own propaganda. The #PYD/#YPG have previously used images that were proven to be either doctored or from other countries
#Turkey says main aim is to create safe zone &go after “terrorists” but #OperationPeaceSpring has other motives too
•These include economic benefits from construction projects + others in post-conflict #Syria
•The issue of refugees has become a toxic electioneering one domestically in #Turkey. There’s a belief that by reducing their number Gov popularity will increase.

So far, the PKK / YPG rocket and mortar attacks have already claimed the lives of 18 civilians in Turkey, including children. Image
The PKK / YPG militants use unguided weaponry, some relying on the WW2 technology like the Grad rockets, to indiscriminately hit populated areas, marking a textbook example of terrorism through hybrid concepts
From a military standpoint, there is no silver bullet C-RAM (counter - rocket, artillery, and mortar) solution to this kind of projectiles. Thus, the Turkish ground offensive must swiftly secure some 20km tactical depth to protect the civilians.

I strongly condemn the Arab League for mischaracterizing Turkey’s counter-terrorism operation in northeastern Syria as an “invasion” in a statement issued earlier today.
We are fully aware that government which dislike Turkey’s advocacy for Palestinians, objections against handing over Jerusalem to occupiers and calling things as we see them –including coups, murders, and the bombardment of civilians in Yemen— do not speak for the Arab world.
We can only take pride in the fact that governments, which did not mind the terrorist organization PKK’s occupation of a predominantly Arab area, the displacement of Arab civilians from their lands, or the destruction of Arab villages, are unsettled by #OperationPeaceSpring

If people read US Defense Secretacy @EsperDoD speech, it is clear that USArmy is not between Turkish Army and PKK Terrorists,the later one (PKK) is called as ally by USA
@Newsweek @Independent @ehamedya @ragipsoylu @OmerOzkizilcik @malikejder_ @haskologlu
@EsperDoD @Newsweek @Independent @ragipsoylu @OmerOzkizilcik @malikejder_ @haskologlu After @EsperDoD speech, according to agreement between Turkish Army & US Army, (all US ground troops GPS coordinates have aldreay given), Turkish AirForce and other forces started to bomb some locations in west part of Ayn El Arab (PKK renamed it as Kobani)
@EsperDoD @Newsweek @Independent @ragipsoylu @OmerOzkizilcik @malikejder_ @haskologlu That is clear that Western Media are trying to spread "fake news" against US President @realDonaldTrump to be able to create an pressure in public. Already Turkey continues to operation according to the talk between Mr. Trump and President of Turkey, Mr. @RTErdogan.

There two main mistakes rages on in the media and articulated by many political figures and analysts which would eventually mislead the reading of geopolitical consequences of Turkey’s #OperationPeaceSpring as it did during #OperationOliveBranch
1) the equation of YPG to the entire Kurdish community and overcasting YPG-PKK ties: YPG is an overwhelmingly controversial group and has a bad recent past in it treatment to the peoples living in the region. So the population is suspected to come to their help
2) claiming the massacre of Kurds is underway: this was the same rhetoric employed during #OperationOliveBranch but check this:

Alerte Militaire
1) L'Opération #PrintempsdelaPaix a débuté avec une puissance de feu importante, qui avait déja porté ses fruits lors de la phase initiale de l'opération Branche d'Olive en 2018.

#Syrie #Turquie
#BarisPinariHarekati
#OperationPeaceSpring
L'armée turque a acquis une expérience considérable dans la lutte contre les menaces hybrides lors de ses efforts transfrontaliers en #Syrie.
2) L’artillerie et des systèmes de lance-roquettes multiple ont martelé des positions militantes du PKK/YPG le long de la frontière. L’armée de l’air turque a pénétré dans l’espace aérien syrien jusqu’à une trentaine de kilomètres.

Mil Alert

1) The #OperationPeaceSpring started with heavy firepower, which also paid-off at the initial stage of #OperationOliveBranch back in 2018. The #Turkish military has gained significant experience in fighting hybrid threats throughout its cross-border efforts in #Syria.
2) Artillery & multiple-launch rocket systems have been pounding PKK / YPG militant positions along the border. The #TurkishAirForce penetrated into the #Syrian airspace up to some 30km.
Notably, the air-ground operations extended up until the #Syrian - #Iraqi border areas. The air force can generate high sortie rates for keeping up high operational tempo thanks to #Turkey's air-basing posture.
