According to global network reports, after Turkey launched an air strike codenamed "Claw Sword" on the Kurdish area on the border between Syria and Iraq, all parties involved in the situation in Syria could not sit still and ended up "pulling a fight".

Turkish air strikes on Syria

As a key ally of Syria's Assad government, Russia has always wanted to maintain a military base presence in Syria and turn it into an anti-American bridgehead in the Middle East.

To this end, Russia called on Turkey to exercise restraint, saying that Syria has finally stabilized and should not let the situation escalate again. If the leaders of Turkey and Syria are willing to communicate face-to-face, Russia will provide them with a platform for dialogue.

Iran, which has also recently carried out air strikes on Kurdish forces in Iraq, also believes that Turkey's military action will further complicate the situation in Syria. Iranian Foreign Minister Abdollahian said that we understand Turkey's concerns about border security, but if it continues like this, it is likely to hurt innocent people and involve more armed forces, and the situation will be difficult to control.

Iran's calculations are similar to Russia's, but in addition to being anti-American, they also want to open up the "Shiite crescent belt" between Iran and Lebanon to counter the Saudi-dominated Sunni forces.

The US statement is very interesting. At first, the White House said that Turkey's air strikes on the Syrian border were also to protect the safety of its own people, and they had the right to do so.

Unexpectedly, Turkey did not bomb a wave and finish the matter, and threatened to launch a ground attack, then the United States is not good to sit idly by. Pentagon spokesman Pat Ryder shouted to the Turkish side, your air strikes in Syria have threatened our human safety, if this is accidentally injured, who will eliminate the terrorists of the "Islamic State" in the future?

Ryder's reference to them is not only U.S. troops illegally stationed in Syria, but also the Syrian Democratic Army, a Kurdish armed force that cooperates with the U.S. military, which Turkey considers to be a branch of the PKK in Syria. The PKK, on the other hand, is the main target of Turkey's strikes.

Simply put, Turkey and the United States are NATO allies, but the PKK, which does not share Turkey's sky, is also an ally of the United States in Syria, which is a bit difficult.

On the one hand, the United States certainly cannot clearly oppose Turkey, the Russian-Ukrainian conflict is not over, if NATO is in internal strife at this time, Putin will probably wake up laughing in his dreams. But at the same time, the United States needs Kurdish forces to contain the Syrian Assad government and Turkey and maintain their influence in the Middle East.

In addition, the Kurds can also help the US military steal oil and food locally. According to statistics, as of the first half of this year, the US military and the Kurdish forces they support have caused 107.1 billion US dollars in energy losses to Syria, equivalent to Syria's GDP for several years.

As for Ryder's contribution to the fight against terrorism by Kurdish forces, that's even more ridiculous. How the "Islamic State" was born is clear to everyone, its predecessor can be traced back to the Iraqi branch of the terrorist organization during the Iraq War, and later became bigger and stronger during the Syrian civil war, becoming the world's largest terrorist organization.

And these two wars are inseparable from the United States. The Iraq War was directly initiated by the George W. Bush administration, and the outbreak of the civil war in Syria also originated from the "Arab Spring" of the color revolution led by the United States. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that the United States indirectly created the "Islamic State".

Including the United States in Syria in recent years, but more and more terrorists, but also want to use the "Islamic State" to contain the Assad government, as long as it is an opposition force, it can be used.

In addition to the aforementioned countries, Israel has also inserted a foot in Syria. They do not care about who is in charge of Syria, but they are afraid of the Lebanese Allah Party supported by Iran in Syria, so they want to strike on Syria from time to time to brush a wave of presence.

Many European countries have also intervened more or less in the Syrian situation, and everyone wants to come here to get a piece of the pie.

In recent years, Syria's forces have barely been balanced, led by several major powers, and Assad's government has begun to prepare for reconstruction. But who would have thought that the Russian-Ukrainian conflict broke out again, Russia was pinned down in the Ukrainian battlefield, could not divide more energy to manage Syria's affairs, the balance was broken, and some people were ready to move.

However, Turkey may not really want to eliminate the Kurds in one fell swoop, mainly because the recent domestic situation is not good, the general election will be held soon, and Erdogan wants to transfer the contradictions to the outside world. The problem is that the situation in Syria is too complicated, and the slightest mistake will lead to chaos among all parties, and it will be difficult to get out on that day.
