How The Hasakah Clashes End Kurdish Nation Dreams

Severe fighting in Hasakah, in north-east Syria, continues between Syrian government forces and U.S. advised Kurdish YPG groups. It is still unclear why these clashes broke out after years of mostly peaceful co-existence in the city.

These clashes convince Turkey that the danger of a Kurdish state creation is imminent. This will unite the Turkish, Syrian, Iranian and Iraqi hostile positions towards such plans. This unity ends the dreams of an independent Kurdish nation.

The YPG declared that it wants all Syrian government forces to leave Hasakah. But those forces are the sole protection of the large Assyrian (Christian) and other minorities in the city. These minorities fear to be ethnically cleansed by the Kurds who try to install their own state in the north of Iraq and Syria.

This nicely summarizes the situation, the subject was discussed on several Syria and Turkey threads recently, but MoA puts it together.

I admit to being an armchair tactician. But what are American troops doing in a place where there literally isn’t a good guy to support? There are only variations of different flavors of Sharia evil. There is no moderate Muslim. There are more extreme versions of Muslim, but I knew the perfect moderate Muslim. In a fit of anger he told me I would be his slave when “they won.” They are only moderate when killing or enslaving you will get them into trouble.

With fracking, we don’t need oil. Let them kill each other and we’ll come back when they are dead and gone.

Oh, US troops are protecting Obama's Sharia friends from a small Christian community in Hasakeh, they are an affront by their very existence.

May be it be that Obama's reading of the Quranic version of OT somehow resulted in the "Kill All Assyrians" idea? I'm guessing here, a mere mortal would not know what the Constitutional Scholar thinks.

Yes, significant evidence that Obama, US foreign policy shills and US "military advisors" are suckering the Kurds into military attacks on Christian Syrians, knowing the Syrian, Turkish and Iraqi response will decimate the Kurds.

Obama knows the Kurds are a group with much more sympathy in the West and Western Media than the previous proxy fighters Obama created, funded and supported, ISIS.

The objective is to turn the public and media against the Syrian military and Russian air attacks against US supported Syrian "Rebel" insurrectionists by mixing the Kurds (and their good name) in with the insurrectionists.

When this goes bad, Obama and the US will throw the Kurds away like the trash the US made them.

Part of the problem is that our recent leaders are tacticians, incapable of thinking long term. Junior was a bit better, he could think in terms of "tomorrow", but not the day after; for Obama "tomorrow" is already too far away... so, naturally everything he does fells apart before long.

Only the damage remains :(

Thanks. This is actually good news. My sympathies are more with Assad, but i do not want to see the Kurds really screwed yet again either.
