Still not hearing anything about any movement by the army, but it looks like their airforce has started to step up their bombing. https://twitter.com/QalaatAlMudiq/status/954723332548677633 https://twitter.com/Conflicts/status/954728067511062535 Ikasuhito fucked around with this message at 16:16 on Jan 20, 2018 |

Much like the fighting for al-baby, Turkey seems determined to fight this battle as personally uncommitted and lazily as possible.

It may end up being more than that. There are rumors of shooting between Turkish and Assad forces. https://twitter.com/Ozkok_/status/958082857326514177?ref_src=twcamp%5Ecopy%7Ctwsrc%5Eandroid%7Ctwgr%5Ecopy%7Ctwcon%5E7090%7Ctwterm%5E3 What the gently caress?

Looks like we are going to get a chance to see if Turkey has learned anything about trying to take a settlement larger than a village. The last village before Jandairis has apparently been taken and they may soon be marching on the town itself. https://twitter.com/QalaatAlMudiq/status/963419856019304448

https://twitter.com/BarzanSadiq/status/965940834431578113 I wonder if he actually means the front lines or ( whats left of ) the actual border with Turkey. Because if he does mean the border that would be a pretty good way to throw them in the trash.

Speaking of city fighting, as would be expected, a lot of people are fleeing Afrin ahead of the fighting. Supposedly most are headed to Aleppo to wait it out. https://twitter.com/BarzanSadiq/status/973202077391446016 Still haven't been able to get any sort of accurate number for how people were/still are in Afrin though.

To what end though? A thousand dead, many more likely wounded, and Turkey was inconvenienced for all of two months. Afrin will fall and the kurds will have lost everything. At the end of the day this was just a huge waste of time and lives with nothing to show for it.
