Turks on the move

Slate has an article by Ben Mathis-Lilley about the Turks, losing patience:

Turkish tanks and special operations troops, backed by American airstrikes, have crossed into Syria to attack ISIS forces holding the town of Jarabulus, described by CNN as "the last major town held by ISIS on the Syrian-Turkish border", is located on the banks of the Euphrates, less than a mile from Turkish territory.
At least fifty people were killed this weekend when a suicide bomber who may have been affiliated with ISIS attacked a wedding in southern Turkey. ISIS is also believed to have been responsible for the shooting/bombing attack at Istanbul's Ataturk Airport that killed more than forty people in June of 2016. While Turkey considers ISIS an enemy, it has been hesitant to deploy its full resources against the group because the anti-ISIS alliance also includes Kurdish elements; Turkey has long fought against Kurdish separatist groups within its own borders. Turkey, a NATO member, is also hostile to the Russian-backed Bashar al-Assad regime that continues to fight ISIS.
Vice President Joe Biden is scheduled to meet with Turkish leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Ankara in a move that signals that the American's military partnership with Turkey will remain strong, despite the authoritarian crackdown that has taken place in the country after a coup attempt against Erdogan failed in mid-July of 2016.

Rico says he's long said you shouldn't fuck with the Turks, and now they know why...
