I am still at a loss trying to figure out what Erdogan's plan is with his new "occupy syria" movement.
This most likely will turnout into one of those long and endless wars like the Saudi war against Yemen, which Saudi thought would be swift, but never was.
But then what? What's the point of running another endless war in Syria? Even if we accept Kurds were destabilizing Turkey, but how long can Turkey run this war without destabilizing its economy? And what's the exit plan?
Turks aren't stupid. And Erdogan possibly isn't an idiot. He most surely has a plan. But even though the war has started few hours ago, I am still at a loss understanding what that is.
And Kurds are probably one of the most beaten around groups in middle east. They were beaten during Saddam, and now are getting beaten by Turks.
