#5 Turks, Peshmerga, Iranians, Iraqis, US SOF, French...all surround this city as the attack begins. The Iraqis threaten both the Turks and YPG...the Turks hate just about everyone in this mix, the Sunni in the city will rise up in the thousands to fight the Iranians and their militias...ISIS is already sending the suicide bombers out by the dozens today...what could go wrong?
