Turkey increases military on both sides of Syrian border

Tanks, armoured troop carriers and soldiers are gathering along Turkey's southern border as they prepare to move into Syria as soon as US troops leave following Trump's shock announcement. Officially Turkey is there to take over the fight against ISIS, but it is widely expected that Ankara will also direct its forces against the US-backed Kurds, which it also considers to be terrorists.
