Things just escalated even further between two of the powers involved in the chaos in Syria.
Outraged not only by Turkey’s shooting down of one of it’s planes but also it’s stubborn refusal to apologize for doing so, Russia has moved to begin aiding Kurdish rebel groups active in Syria and hostile to Turkey.
The Turks, who regard the groups and their compatriots within Turkey as “terrorists”, have taken to bombing Kurdish positions within their war-torn neighbor’s borders.
Turkey’s air campaign against the Kurds has been criticized by many as they are one of the few effective fighting forces against the Islamic State, to say nothing of the fact that Turkey has yet to mount any significant action against ISIS. But the Turks’ luck may have run out, now that the Russians are pledging to help groups like the Syrian Kurdish forces (YPG).

Kurds were so great that Hussein gassed them….lived in a independent and rich northern area of Iraq, wealthy and worth ALL our support!
Here we go.
The Kurds are wonderful people! Putin should support them fully. Our idiot in chief has his head in his$#%&!@*

Finally, a country whose women have become warriors to hold on to their homes gets some real help from a country,not just a few bullets.
Vladimir Putin is a Christian who has vowed to his church to rid the world of ISIS/Daesh. He is not a Communist. and Turkey had better hide and shut up. Russia does not need NATO or the USA to achieve their objective. Russia has Chinese, Israeli, French and German support. and what do you think is going to happen to the USA and it’s Muslim Brotherhood leader and government when Daesh has been obliterated ? Mexico is even talking with Putin.
Very sad! Obama is wrong in so many ways,I have lost count! He needs to be held accountable for his actions!
About time
i think Obama is afraid to arm the Kurds because the Turkish, Iraqi and Iranian, Saudi, Hell! Because every government in the Mideast hates and/or fears them. I said a lot of times we should arm them, but of course I have no say because I am just a citizen. Government never listens to us.
They deserve help.
