I doubt the drone was squawking IFF or coordinated on whatever passes for an ATO in that theater these days.
I'm surprised we haven't shot down a Turkish F-16 yet.
The issue wasn’t the “hot mess” that is indeed Syria. The issue is sticking a poor one star up in front of a room full of journalists to try to explain how any of it makes sense. Without offending any nominal allies. It’s pretty well impossible to not offend at least one without coming across as a fool.
Especially when your Kurdish and Turkish Allie’s hate one another and you can afford to offend neither. And when BOTH are easily offended.
