1. It's tempting to view Erdogan's repeated assaults on Kurds as being driven solely by Turkish domestic politics but there is pattern involved in these acts that points to a connection between Erdogan's ruling AKP and our enemies in the Mid East: ISIS and Al-Qaeda.
2. First, Turkey's AKP is an authoritarian islamist party with proven affiliations with Muslim Brotherhood (MB) and Grey Wolves. Here's Erdogan showing MB hand symbol next to him giving a Grey Wolf symbol. Erdogan served jail time for is jihadist beliefs. He's not our ally.
3. Everytime we get close to Al-Baghdadi Erdogan attacks our allies in Syria. He did it several months ago to cause the SDF to redeploy to Manbij. Now that we are close to finishing off the remaining ISIS pocket in the ERV he's at it again. This is not random. IMO it is evidence
4. That Erdogan is ISIS affiliate and that he fears Al-Baghdadi and his lieutenants are soon captured by the US and SDF.

The PYD bring local governance and democracy to Syria. Rojava is peaceful area where all live in peace. Erdogan fears this revolution spreading but not
5. because it threatens violence. He fears it because it threatens peace, equality & democracy all things Erdogan hates & that he needs to deny his own people. I think we must be getting close to Al-Baghdadi. Our Turkish canary in the ISIS' coal mine is singing again. @WHNSC
