Like Puppets On A String
Jihadists from ISIS and other terrorist groups like to think that they’re radical and revolutionary. But what is radical about answering to the likes of the U.S., Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, England, France, Pakistan, and Israel? And from the perspective of these states, you don’t fear something that you more or less control. That’s why Turkey is going after the PKK/PYD Kurdish groups and not ISIS. And that’s also why the Gulf monarchies are not too worried about any significant blowback from their pro-Jihadist policies in Yemen, Libya, and Syria. ISIS is pretty much preaching Saudi beliefs and state doctrine in Syria. And that’s not an exaggeration.
An excerpt from, “Al Qaeda in Syria leaves area where Turkey seeks buffer” Reuters, August 10, 2015:
The al Qaeda-linked Nusra Front says it has quit frontline positions against Islamic State north of Aleppo and ceded them to other rebels, leaving an area of northern Syria where Turkey wants to set up a buffer zone.
An excerpt from, “Turkey Invades Syria, Goes For Aleppo” by b, Moon of Alabama, August 10, 2015:
Today al Qaeda in Syria, aka Jabhat al Nusra which the U.S. has nurtured since 2012, pulled back from its areas in Aleppo governate. The Turkish president Erdogan wants these areas to block a Kurdish autonomous area in north Syria but also as a supply zone for his forces which those will need to later take Aleppo city, Erdogan’s real strategic target.Nusra claims that the retreat was because it would not support Turkey’s attack on Syria and/or fight against the Islamic State for solely Turkish and U.S. gains. But the timing makes it clear that it had simply received an order or an offer it could not refuse: “Move now or we will cut you off from the money and logistics you have received for so long.”
A few hours after Nusra pulled away from the fronts in Aleppo governate and moved towards Idlib the Turkish invasion started.

Although I agree on Turkey’s hiding behind NATO’s skirts to militarily slam the Kurds is reason for removal from NATO, anyone with a degree in history will call you out on claiming that Pakistan is, was, or ever will be a NATO member. Did I hear you correctly? Pakistan is a NATO member? Where did you dream up this dangerous fallacy? Who writes this BS?
