So I see on the news this morning that Bolton is warning the Syrian government against the use of poison gas attacks. Not this crap again! Is the stage being set for yet another FAKE, false flag gas “attack”? The main group of Islamists in Turkey today are the militias operating under Islamist Turk protection and occupation.

The “blob”? Are we using that as a new term for the msm?

Career government workers don’t give up their gravy train too easy. Expecting a wave of sympathetic resignations was not an intelligent expectation.

When you understand that the goal of Islam is to kill / enslave all infidels; when they’re gone, they turn against each other. People who read history understand this.

Interesting article. Thanks for posting.

Kilic Kanat, the research director at the Foundation for Political, Economic and Social Research in Washington, agrees. “There’s no doubt that this is a fragile situation,” he said, “but the idea that the U.S. withdrawal will be followed by a Turkish invasion to slaughter the Kurds is laughable. The Turkish government is focused now on the U.S. withdrawal and making sure that it will clear Syrian territories bordering Turkey from ISIS and the [People’s Protection Units (YPG)]. There will be no tolerance for these groups freely navigating along its borders.”

First, FP is pure globalist crap. Second, this statement by Kilic Kanat shows how truly clueless that researcher is. Erdogan's Turkey would unleash the ISIS and al Qaeda remnants in a heartbeat and take all of Syria if the global community did not act swiftly to stop it. Which they would not. Nobody who had seriously looked at Erdogan's history and actions could come to that conclusion. (I have no clue who Mark Perry is.)

The commanders of the Syrian Democratic Forces understand this, which is, in part, why they’ve been engaged in political negotiations with the Assad government for several months. The goal is to bring the SDF back under the control of Damascus—a prospect that Ankara would welcome. As former U.S. Ambassador to Syria Robert Ford recently noted,Trump’s announcement has actually smoothed “the way for a deal between the SDF and Damascus that would allow Syrian troops to return to eastern Syria in a manner that meets Turkish security concerns and gives no new space to the Islamic State.” More simply, the U.S. withdrawal of its forces from Syria will nudge the Kurdish-led SDF down the road to Damascus—which is where they were going anyway.

Who's Goal. It is sure not the path Syrian Kurds chose. And Turkish security concerns are only an excuse for more Neo Ottoman expansion. Even a blind fool could see it, if they were honest. US and Russian presence in Syria is the only reason that Turkey has not invaded and tried to take all of Syria, I'm sure Obama promised him he could have it.

My N. Syrian Kurd friends have already told me that they would rather all die than accept another Efrin (Afrin) invasion by Turkey. I don't believe that is an over statement. The N. Syrian Kurds are not like those in Iraq. I'm not sure how they compare to those in Iran, that picture is largely isolated from view. I have NO doubt that our Israeli allies fully understand the danger in all of this and are prepared to do whatever is necessary to protect themselves. And remember there were once 400,000 Kurdish Jews (Erdogan has called them "Mountain Jews") in the Middle East (Iraq, Iran & Syria), they were driven out and largely went to Israel. There are 2 Israeli (diplomats) who follow me on Twitter, it is very clear to me that they "get it" on this situation. I've had conversations with the one in the US on a couple of occasions, and one way DM conversations with the other for outside the US, explaining my interest in the Syrian Kurd issue and my perspective. Both still follow me so the channels are still open.
