"A senior Pentagon official told Newsweek that the attack by the Turkish forces was so heavy that the US personnel considered firing back in self-defense but ultimately withheld their fire."

NATO "allies" firing on eachother

Wow, Turkey, such a good ally

<:pot_of_kek:544849795433496586>

Again, you're assuming we agree that Turkey is an Ally

>That's what you guys were saying our last discussion

<:pot_of_kek:544849795433496586>

Lmao, I didn't say they were an Ally

"you guys"

I dont think anyone did

^

Ally in Name only

Just because they are part of Nato doesn't make then our friend

That article doesn't actually say anything about what turkey knew about the spec ops team?

Their views are not in line with ours

you're in a server that really likes to say "roach", bear in mind

Europe after all are not our friends

It was certainly argued that they were our allies last discussion @Tiberius

So, if our Military Presence was what was Allegedly stopping the Turks from bombing the Kurds, why did Turkey bomb our guys?

@Hexidecimark the phrase we have is "special forces" and knowing press sensationalism that could be a stand in for anything

Because the majority of troops had been pulled out and the president *de facto* allowed Turkey to.

That's why

I love it when people finish their vapid statements with emojis like they think they have made some kind of point

kek

Spooks get the Nukes

Probs is

Still

still, if its not a buzzword, that might bring into question whether or not their positions/movements would be shared

They were at an established military base @Jokerfaic

And have been operating from there for the last few years

All things Turkey knows

US: "Lol, our Guys are in *Grid* please don't bomb them"
Roaches: "Lol, Ok sure"

Because you shared intelligence with them

Where does anything say they were in a base

Mr. Erdogan, please, pretty please don't bomb our Special Forces Soldiers at -Insert GPS Coordinates-

yeah looking through the links now, even keyword searching, nothing so far

It specifically states in the NYP article you put out that they were shelling *kurdish* positions

And that the US troops were *next to the kurdish positions*

the word "base" was not found in either of your articles

Nathan James everyone
let's get a round of applause
