“No details were provided on how many or what kind of forces would be sent, or whether decisions on those details have been made.”
I really do not see the point in this. The oil fields WILL become property of Russia and or Turkey soon enough. Both Russia and Turkey have the means to protect the fields themselves.

In its report, Amnesty said refugees it had spoken to complained of being threatened or physically forced by Turkish police to sign documents stating that they were voluntarily returning to Syria.

Just a little bit of history repeating…
In a sane world, I would file this under NK being NK. These days, though, who knows? If I were in SK, I suspect I would need to double my omeprazole dose.
