I keep hearing he's gunning for the Kurds in the northeast of Syria. Is this just bald racism or is there some stated reason

Realpolitik they're just grabbing territory and resources, dams, oil, etc. but its justified through the lense of protecting Turkiye from the PKK who are supposedly supported by the Kurds in Syria and Iraq

So really, this rat bastard and Turkey’s main goals since the very onset of the Syrian Civil War has centered around the destruction of the Syrian state?

destruction, turning Syria or a portion of it into a puppet, whatever benefits Turkish firms, really
