This shows ISIS was defeated in 2018 and now Turkey (?!) is invading Syria. The Kurds (yellow) and the Syrian Gov't (red) had to team up (orange) to contain the invasions by Turkey (blue) on their north border in 2019 and 2020.

And it also looks like Turkey took land in 2017 in the very northwest as ISIS collapsed, which it still holds.

I've never heard of Turkey's invasion of Syria until this very moment of just happening to see it on this map... seems like kind of a big deal.

Odd how the media talks about ISIS in Syria all the time, but not a peep about the Turks invading Syria
