Turkish News Video Shows Heavy Fighting in Syrian Border Town

Heavy fighting between Turkish-backed Syrian rebels and Kurdish-led forces in the border down of Ras al Ain was shown on Turkey’s Anadolu news agency video, Monday, October 14.
---------
READ MORE: U.S. President Donald Trump is pressuring Turkey to stop its offensive in northern Syria with calls for a cease-fire and sanctions against Turkish officials, as he plans to send a delegation led by Vice President Mike Pence to Ankara for talks to resolve the situation.
Trump's action follows sharp criticism in the week since the White House announced Turkey was going forward with its long-held plans to try to carve out a buffer zone along its border with Syria free from the U.S.-backed Kurdish fighters it accuses of being terrorists linked to separatist Kurds in Turkey.

Actually false, although, I can see why you think this. The camo they are wearing here is an internationally used camo available to the public as the "Crye Precision Multicam". This Camo is derived from the British Multi-Terrain-Pattern, or MTP. US Camo looks EXTREMELY SIMILAR to Multicam, but in fact has distinct differences. The US Camo, "Scorpion", or Operational Camouflage Pattern (OCP), is derived from multicam but features different shapes, more colors (11 vs 6-8), and more gradient blends. The Nikes..... well even Russia and China have Nike Stores...
