Wow.
Sudan is wholly controlled by China.
Pretty suspect (and awesome) that this goes down right after we suspect China of taking the Taiwan blackhawk down. Take 13. We will take 20.

Second that. We still control Libya and will not be giving it up. This was a D5 btfo to Erdogan.
When is the last time you heard a story about a Raider op? Delta maybe but Rangers are overrated. LTC Vindman was a Ranger kek. Rangers hold down perimeter security for Delta ops and securing areas for mineral drilling. Not front line.
He ran into Putin's arms after the very public Karlov hit on his soil. He knew he was thrown to the wolves. I think NATO carried out the hit thinking Putin would smoke Erdogan for it. He went belly up to Putin and said he didn't do it. Have been working closely w Putin since. That said, and to your point. I think Putin and D5 are working very closely to root out the cult and are squeezing cult assets now. Incirlik is a sensitive issue that has to be handled the right way. Erdogan needs to go but unfortunately you can't smoke a leader until you have a solid replacement. As bad as Erdogan is, is he as bad as a destabilized terror state housing our nukes?
I know you've avoided the link once baker but a Chinese proxies(Sudan) military plane going down within days of one of our proxies(SK) mil planes going down is notable.
