    It’s a misplaced statement to say tensions are rising in the Middle East because tensions never fall. And again, who’s protecting who over there? Yep the US – PB/TK

    US troops patrol Turkey-Syria border after Turkish strikes on Kurds – By

    US forces have begun patrolling part of the Turkey-Syria border after Turkish airstrikes killed some fighters there closely allied to the United States.

    The People’s Protection Units (YPG) and the Peshmerga in Iraq — both Kurdish groups — said at least 25 of their fighters had been killed in the strikes on Tuesday. Ankara denies deliberately targeting them.
    The YPG fights in the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), a rebel alliance armed and supported by the United States, but is considered a terrorist group by the Turkish government.
    The airstrikes, and reported cross-border skirmishes since then, have added yet another complication in an already complex war of alliances.
