Pompeo: There will be 'devastating' consequences if Turkey attacks Syria - UPI.com
UPI reports: "U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo warned Turkey of 'devastating'consequences if it attacks Syria. [...] The warning comes as Turkey has
repeatedly threatened to attack the Kurdish-led American-backed Syrian
Democratic Forces as it believes the Islamic State fighters are also
far-left Kurdish militants who are affiliated with the Kurdistan
Workers' Party, which Turkey has been fighting."
Comment: This is striking. Keep in mind that Turkey is still a member of the NATO alliance, which means a formal ally of the United States, and they are threatening to attack Kurd forces allied with the U.S. in Syria. The friend of my friend is my enemy? That is apparently how Turkey sees it.
