After Türkiye's largest city Istanbul encountered a terrorist attack, Türkiye decisively crossed the border to "counter-terrorism" and launched revenge on Kurdish armed forces in Syria . After the incident, the US immediately condolences to Türkiye, claiming to strongly condemn the terrorist attacks. However, this time, Turkish was obviously furious and said that "the murderer will always be the first to arrive at the scene", which made it clear that the United States has nothing to do with this matter.
Seeing that the hot face was pressed against the cold butt, the US side stopped pretending and issued a warning of interference, saying that Türkiye's air strikes had seriously threatened the safety of the Americans and wanted to put pressure on the Turkish side to stop military operations. However, this threat has had a counterproductive effect. Recently, Turkish President Erdogan bluntly said, " No one can teach Turkey a lesson." When his just finished his speech, there was a news that US base in Syria was attacked .
According to the news from Observer.com , in a speech at the Istanbul shipyard, Erdogan claimed that Turkey would continue to crack down on all forms of terrorism at home and abroad, and was determined to eradicate terrorism from the source. And he stated in a targeted manner that no matter which force the terrorist colludes with, Turkish will definitely make it "responsible for every drop of blood shed by the Turkish people." He then stressed that "no one can teach Türkiye a lesson" in response to the previous warning issued by the Pentagon of the United States.
On the day Erdogan's speech, The US Central Command issued a statement saying that two rockets attacked the US military base in the Shadadi area of Syria. The Kurdish forces in Syria also found the third unignited rocket at the rocket launch site. However, the attack did not cause casualties, nor did it even damage the base property, which was more like a warning to the US military. Because just a few days ago, the Pentagon claimed that Türkiye's military operations seriously threatened the security of the US military in Syria, hindered the US's process of combating the "Islamic State", and demanded that the Turkey stop operations.
It is worth mentioning that Erdogan’s “bloody incident” refers to a recent explosion attack on Istanbul Independence Street. It is reported that the incident caused 81 injuries and 6 deaths, and even a 3-year-old baby girl was killed. Afterwards, the Turkish government caught an attacker. According to his confession, the incident was instructed by the Kurdish armed forces. Subsequently, Turkey once again crossed the border and attacked the Kurdish armed forces and planned to launch a ground offensive against it to conduct a comprehensive "counter-terrorism" in Syria.
After this incident, all parties expressed their opinions one after another. Syria and Russia condemned Turkey's unauthorized military operations. However, after negotiations and communication, the two sides reached a consensus that Russia relaxed the Syrian airspace under its control and allowed Turkey to cross the border to attack the Kurds, which also demonstrated the current friendly relations between Russia and Turkey. However, Turkey is not so polite to the United States. After the terrorist attack in Istanbul, the United States immediately sent condolences to the Turkish government, but was mocked by the Turkish government. The Turkish government hinted at the connection between the United States and the Kurdish armed forces by saying "the murderer is always the first to reach the scene of the crime."
Objectively speaking, the condolences sent by the US to Turkey are undoubtedly hypocritical. If the United States, which claims to be a "vanguard of counter-terrorism", really wants to crack down on such terrorist attacks, relying on the large number of US troops stationed in Syria, it can work with Turkey to "counter-terrorism" with Turkey, especially Turkey is also a member of NATO . However, in the face of the Kurdish armed forces' attacks on NATO member states, the US is deaf and dumb because this Kurdish armed force, designated as a terrorist organization by Türkiye, is originally an armed force supported by the United States in the Middle East and region.
The reason why the United States continues to aid the Kurds in the Middle East is to continue to provoke unrest in Syria and Iraq. While helping Israel overthrow the Syrian regime, it can also take the opportunity to steal oil and food from both countries. On the other hand, the Kurds are treated as cannon fodder to combat IS organization and continue to maintain the chaos in the Middle East. After all, a split Middle East is more convenient to expand its country's arms sales business. At the same time, the Kurds with a population of 30 million are the only choice for the United States to develop its strength in the Middle East, and it is also possible to become the next Israel.
It is precisely because we know that the United States is standing behind the Kurdish armed forces that Türkiye treats the United States with this attitude. The attack on the US military base is probably because Turkey is responding to the Pentagon's previous interference warning and showing the United States Türkiye's determination to crack down on the Kurds. Moreover, as the situation in Ukraine backfires against the West and the Sino-US relations are also declining, the United States may not dare to take action against Turkey, causing internal unrest in NATO. It can be said that it is currently a good opportunity for Türkiye to ignore the US warning and crack down on Kurdish armed forces. Erdogan is a very wise decision to become tough on the US at this time.
