Turkey will continue with operation “Olive Branch” in Syria until they have pushed “all those terror groups out of Afrin,” Turkey’s Deputy Prime Minister Mehmet Simsek has said.
Speaking to BBC Hardtalk’s (http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/n13xtmdc) Stephen Sackur, Mr Simsek said Turkey wanted a unified, stable Syria because anything else would be a security threat.

What this guy is saying is "it's on" without saying so. Turkey considers the YPG a security threat on its border, and they want a unified, stable Syria; which, means eradicating the YPG. If they can't be in Turkey OR Syria, only one other choice.
Gunny's personal view w/invectives :) : Turks are arrogant bastards and we need to kick their asses back into Turkey. You think I'm kidding. They think in their stupid little minds they can take us.
Way it looks, if we kick their asses out of Syria we might get away with it. If we go into Turkey, they'll go to the Russians. I wouldn't want Turkey. The shithole has been a problem child its entire existence. They played us against the Russians during the Cold War and are quite willing it seems to now play Russia against us if need be.
Dumbasses don't see that puts Turkey squarely between the US and Russia and guess who usually gets blown up first?
Our other choice is leave the YPG in the wind when they have been completely loyal to us since the First Gulf War which would be totally shitty of us. IMO :)
