To be fair, that's not the only reason why the UN is a fucking joke.

You know what's guaranteed to fan the flames of turrurizm though? Brutal crackdowns along the border.

Legalize drugs and the cartels will be pwned overnight.

ISTANBUL (Reuters) - As Turkish troops finalize plans to attack northeast Syria, Ankara’s scheme to move millions of refugees into conquered territory there is alarming some Western allies as much as the military operation itself.

Addressing world leaders at the United Nations two weeks ago, President Tayyip Erdogan held up a map of the region setting out ambitious proposals to build dozens of new villages and towns to settle Syrian refugees.

...

But most of the 3.6 million Syrians in Turkey are from Sunni Arab areas in western Syria, not the mainly Kurdish northeast. Moving huge numbers of refugees into an area hundreds of miles from their homes would involve a drastic demographic shift.

...

Ankara has dismissed the concerns about the impact of a return of refugees from Turkey, saying any change to the population would only be redressing moves by the Kurdish forces which currently control the region.

It's an interesting turn of events to see that we now agree that it is best to keep these refugees as close to their place of origin as possible. It really is the best and most economical way of doing it.

P.S. This was a part of Steve Bannon's geopolitical policy and was labeled as a racist policy.

So what is their reason for attacking them then?
