How long until Turkey starts Operation Kurd Crusher now that the US/SDF can't use fighting IS as an argument to keep the SDF in control of their territory?

No i am pretty sure France and most eu countries (Italy and the UK mostly) are backing Haftar (the us backed would-be tyrant) and the only side it fucks is the UN backed democratic government currently in Tripoli.

Weird how you can get the military to defect when a government is doing its own austerity and not being sanctioned instead. :thunk:

Turns out completely destroying a country and leaving the ruins to warlords doesn't lead to a stable future.

Hafthar may have made a mistake attacking; the disparate groups and militias inside the capitol are banding together now against the common threat. I don't know what the Mistrata militias are up to. Maybe attacking the rear once Haftar's reserves are committed?
