Erdogan goes on offensive against US, accuses them of supplying Kurdish YPG with weapons
2018-12-13
[ALMASDARNEWS] Ottoman Turkish President Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First
... Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him. It's a sin, a shame, and a felony to insult the president of Turkey...
went on the offensive against Washington on Wednesday after announcing his forces were preparing to kickoff their new offensive east of the Euphrates.

Erdogan accused the U.S. military of continuously supplying weapons to the Kurdish-led People’s Protection Units (YPG), despite denying that they weren’t giving them heavy arms

"They (the U.S.) said they did not supply heavy weapons when we objected to them arming YPG. They said they will collect the current arms after the threat of ISIS is eliminated. Who are you deceiving? They are talking about a 150 square-kilometer zone where they (ISIS) are active. If it is about this zone, The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire....
is ready to immediately eliminate any ISIS presence in the area," Erdogan said, as reported by the Daily Sabah.

According to Erdogan, the U.S. has failed to live up to its promises in Manbij, which has forced him to take action east of the Euphrates.

"Although Manbij is made up 80-85 percent of Arabs, there are terror organizations there and they are not being honest. They still can’t remove gunnies from there. Then we will do it," Erdogan added.
