Turkey and Israel are just saber rattling for the cameras. Both nations have been colluding with regards to Syria. Neither has acted without the other’s say so. They’re coordinating their invasions.

Turkey (excuse me, Turikye) has a legitimately great military. Major Air Force and army with better technology, training and morale than you’d think. I say get ‘em.

Turkey has for decades faced an armed terrorist insurgency from the Kurdistan Workers Party, a communist minority group operating in parts of Eastern Anatolia. There are significant Kurdish populations in northern Syria as well as Iraq and Iran. Kurds are an ethnic minority in all of those countries but have a relatively contiguous area across those nations where they are an ethnic majority, making them the largest stateless nationality in the World. As much of the areas where Kurds reside are split between 4 nations and include productive oil fields as well as critical sources of freshwater, the governments of all countries involved have opted to oppress their Kurdish populations to prevent a pan-national Kurdish uprising that could result in a unified Kurdish state. Thus, these governments oppose anything resembling too much Kurdish autonomy within their governmental structures.
Militants in Turkey often receive weapons and supplies from Syrian Kurds, especially since the start of the Syrian civil war, during which Kurdish militias seized control of a significant portion of northern Syria. To prevent the flow of weapons from Kurdish militias in Syria to terror cells in Turkey, the Turks invaded northern Syria and seized a string of villages along their border with Syria. Turkey has continued to occupy this territory for most of the duration of the war.
Last year, Turkish President Erdogan was set to be term limited, so he sought changes to the Constitution to allow him to run for reelection. However, his economic mismanagement and Islamist policies had begun to fracture his political coalition that had kept him in power for so long. He needed to win over new voters for his amendment to pass.
Edrogen ended up striking up a deal (the details of which are still secret) with leaders in Turkey’s Kurdish community. He also negotiated with Israel and the Syrian rebel groups they were already backing and all worked together to finally oust Assad and win the war with a Turkish friendly government in Damascus. In addition, the terror groups in Turkey have declared peace, are voluntarily disarming, and ask all Kurds to lay down their arms.

NWO Globalists caused this by ousting Assad.
