The debate on Turkish offensive in Syria has given an absurd local political twist in Germany. Left-wing politicians claim that federal government is actively helping Turkey to warfare. Kurdish groups, but also German journalists, even explain Germany to war party. Is it still twisted?

It is true that Turkey, in its offensive, also uses obsolete tanks from German production, which were delivered between 1988 and 2011 used to NATO partner Turkey. But Germany certainly does not have a war in Syria. Ors do this: Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad, opposition, jihadists, Russia, Iran, Turkey. In war against IS terrorists, United States is struggling with its coalition. The Germans also have a small extras role.
In Turkish campaign against Syrian Kurds, however, re are only three important actors: Kurds, Turks and ir great godparents. But to that later.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan wanted this offensive for a long time. He publicly claims to ban terrorist threat of Kurdish militias and to end ir “ethnic cleansing”.

You know fairy tales of Field Lords. Before Turkish invasion, international observers were unable to find any military attacks by Kurdish YPG on Turkey, even those that would justify a war. The PKK attacks in Turkey do not provide access to Syria. The “ethnic cleansing” is also a proof-free assertion.
But Erdoğan has a firm eye on his true goals. Once again, he manages to stir up Turkey in a tidy way. Outside war, indoors nationalist roar. So world is fine for him.
Erdoğan promises: “No step back!” The people gar around him for flag and army. The Kemalist opposition beats chops toger. Contradiction is futile. The few who still dare, are threatened with arrest. For terrorist support.
