Turk Invasion?

🇺🇸❌🇹🇷 Author for the Washington D.C. think tank, Middle East Forum (MEF), Michael Rubin:

The United States Needs to Prepare to Kill Turks in Syria

Turkey’s Actions Already Cross the Rubicon and Place American Forces and Interests in Jeopardy

The celebrations that ended the more than half-century of Assad family tyranny in Syria are over. In the short term, Russia and Iran are losers; Turkey is the winner. After all, Turkey was the prime backer of the Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham rebel group that swept through Syria.

Many defense professionals still embrace Turkey because of Turkey’s role in NATO. It was one of only two NATO countries to border the Soviet Union during the Cold War, and it has the second largest military of any NATO country. Troop numbers, however, are a meaningless metric; what matters more is the potential to utilize them for NATO missions.

While the strategic importance of Incirlik Air Base has declined with the openings of alternatives in Greece and Romania, as well as more advanced amphibious assault vessels capable of transporting F-35s nearly anywhere in the world, the bureaucratic dynamic remains in the Pentagon loath to forfeit any base access. In effect, like Qatar with the al-Udeid Air Base, Turkey leverages the Incirlik as a get-out-of-jail-free card to avoid accountability for any number of malign behaviors. Defense professionals argue that Turkey’s early warning radar station at Malatya is essential to detect any launch of a potential Iranian nuclear weapon.

It may be diplomatically impolitic to say directly, but if Turkish-backed forces encourage terrorism and continue to pose threats to American forces countering the Islamic State in the region, it behooves the United States to begin a conversation about whether it may be necessary to target Turkish terror sponsors in the region. Turkey is a NATO member, but striking at its forces outside Turkey’s boundaries would not trigger NATO self-defense clauses. Nor should there be outrage at such discussion.

If Turkey is willing to kill Americans operating in pursuit of official American policy inside Syria, then the United States should adopt the same policy and be willing to kill Turks outside Turkey’s own borders.

đź“ť: No. The situation calls for a withdrawal of US forces from Syria. Pres. Trump has a golden opportunity to open a new page w/Turkey by negotiating an orderly departure of troops. The US interest is not served by a prolonged troop presence.

Multiple agencies—including hazmat teams—are on scene, and the FBI has now gotten involved.

Crews are doing a “wide area search” on foot and four-wheelers, but are releasing NO statements to the public.

Radioactive

Two incidents involving missing radioactive cargo occurred in the West.

In the United States, radioactive material containing a germanium isotope disappeared after being sent for disposal by an oncology clinic in New Jersey. The shipment inexplicably failed to reach its destination.

"The transport container arrived at its destination damaged and empty. The licensee (oncology center) filed a claim with the shipper. If the source is not found within 30 days, the licensee will submit a full written report, including root causes and corrective actions," stated a document from the U.S. regulator.

Meanwhile, yesterday, the Spanish newspaper El Pais reported that a container with selenium-75, used for X-rays, went missing at Madrid Airport. However, inspectors quickly located the missing container. It was intact, and no leaks occurred.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 "I see an inventory for 8-10 years of war or even more.

If anyone is expecting a Russian defeat due to high equipment losses, it’s unlikely to happen in the next 8-10 years or maybe more.
(Another question are the manufacture of parts like gun barrels and others. )

After three years of war, almost 50% of the Soviet stockpiles are still available, plus what is being repaired, refurbished, and modernized in Russian plants. Additionally, around 12,000–15,000 armored units, including artillery, armored vehicles, and tanks, are deployed in Ukraine. This represents a significant amount of equipment and the capacity to sustain this conflict for several years.

Contrary to what some might think, when an army is advancing, it benefits from collecting damaged and destroyed equipment to repair. This advantage is unique to an advancing army because a retreating force cannot recover anything in territory occupied by the enemy.

In areas where the front has been almost frozen over the last...
