Recep Tayyip Erdoğan is threats to Syria
Erdogan's threats in Syria tested the borders with Biden and Putin.
The Turkish president's warnings have been as targeted in Washington and Moscow as they have been in Syria's Kurds.
The attack on the Turkish caravan broke the camel's back.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said that a rocket attack on a Turkish convoy in Syria, in which two Turkish special forces personnel were killed, broke the camel's back, adding, "We were born there. Are determined to do, or with their own resources. "
Erdogan is preparing for another military strike on Syrian Kurdish-administered areas. Or US President Joe Biden and Russian President Vladimir Putin saying more needs to be done to deal with the Syrian crisis on Turkish terms.
The Turkish president is worried about his "never-ending war" and occupation of Syria, the economic burden of hosting 3.6 million Syrian refugees and differences with Biden and Putin on the next stage in Syria.
Two months ago this month, with the green light from then-US President Donald Trump, Erdogan launched "Operation Peace Spring" against Kurdish-occupied towns in northeastern Syria, against which he called the Syrian Kurds terrorists. Declared Create safety zones there to deal with the flood of groups and refugees in Syria.
Erdogan then struck a deal with Putin that sent Syrian troops to the adjoining areas, limiting Turkey's occupation of the two small towns of Tel Aviv and Ras al-Ain.
However, the Russian agreement promised that all elements of the Kurdish People's Protection Units (YPG) and their weapons would be "removed" from adjacent areas, but this did not happen.

Another reason is the United States, which maintains 900 troops in Syria and has partnered with the Syrian Democratic Forces, which consists primarily of the YPG, with which the United States has fought the Islamic State in Syria.
