Turkey Says No Need To Launch Another Operation Against Kurds For Now
RFE ^ | Oct 22 2019 | Radio Free Europe

Posted on 10/22/2019 7:18:20 PM PDT by rintintin

Turkey has announced that there was “no need” to restart its offensive against Kurdish fighters outside the current area of operation in Syria because it had been informed by the United States their withdrawal from the border area in the north had been “completed.”

"At this stage, there is no further need to carry out a new operation," the defense ministry said late on October 22 in a statement, as cited by AFP.

Trump was right on this all along. The traitors in the Congress were wrong.

Syria & Russia will patrol northern Syria and illegal military formations will not be allowed in the security zone. Turkey will gradually pull out. Syria will control Syrian territory, the way it should be.

Idlib (the Al Qaeda nest) will be cleansed of Al Qaeda soon. Lindsey, Marco & Mitch better get over their fast because their terrorist proxies are about to be destroyed.

This ‘announcement’ cannot be true because of OrangeManBad green light to Turkey to unleash ISIS.

But, but, but what about those 28 troops? Will the Kurds ever forgive us? Will anyone in the Middle East (other than the King of Jordan) ever trust us again?

The Dems and half the GOP really needed a bloodbath. They need to prove how much smarter and knowledgeable they are compared to Trump.

Sorry guys and gals, the Troll Master has had your lunch once again. You look foolish, you are foolish. Grow up.

Was this before or after he threatened to blow up their economy? Before or after Pompeo said we’re ready to roll if military action is needed?

They may be slow but appears they ain’t stupid...

in reading this article remember Syria has been a client state of Russia since signing a treaty in 1946. Russian “advisors” have been embedded within Syrian (and Iranian) military for more than a generation. (not since Trump took over the WH as some in the media will imply) Also, the only Mediterranean sea port for the Russia fleet is in Syria. Russia also has a tight relationship with Iran which goes back to 1980.

Also, Turkey will resettle two million of their 3.6 million Syrian refugees in the new buffer zone. Turkey has the most severe refugee problem in the world, so it is said. So Syrians refugees will resettle the north Syrian buffer zone.

We have no business there. Get the nukes out and let them at it.

“No bloodbath”.

Media: Say there will be a bloodbath, then don’t report that there wasn’t.

Result:t people think there was a bloodbath.

This relationship between Russia and Syria is precisely why Oabma, serving his Saudi Masters, entered the USA in Syria's civil war, with the ultimate goal of overthrowing Assad (and thus getting rid of Russia), allowing the construction of a natural gas pipeline from Qatar and KSA through Syria and Turkey, to Europe.

Of course, Turkey says no need for another operation for now. They announced at the start that their goal was to clear the Kurds from a 32-kilometer buffer zone inside Syria along a 120-kilometer border region with Turkey. Mission accomplished.

With a Treaty going back to 1946 you know Russia wasn’t going to allow Assad be overthrown. Russia and Syria are like a hand and glove.
