Turkey to Establish Bases in Syria
MEMRI ^ | 01/03/25 | Ibrahim Khalidi

Posted on 01/05/2025 6:48:32 PM PST by doc maverick

Recent reports in the Arabic and Turkish media and social media claim that Turkey intends to establish new military bases in Syria as part of a defense agreement with the new Syrian government formed by Hayat Tahrir Al-Sham (HTS) under the leadership of Ahmed Al-Sharaa (aka Abu Muhammad Al-Joulani). Turkey has been the primary supporter of HTS, which has a jihadist background “Damascus and Ankara are drafting a mutual defense agreement that includes the establishment of two bases in Homs and Damascus and the deployment of an air defense system against Israeli attacks.”

Erdogan has begun his take over of Syria. Now the neo-Ottoman empire will be right next door to Israel. US foreign policy Obama regime style. Get rid of the Jews.

My guess is that Israel will expand their buffer zone to protect the Druze near Golan Heights.

I think President Trump will take care of it.

Turkey out of Syria and more importantly now Turkey out of NATO or the US out of NATO.

Makes political sense to me, they share a large border. I negotiated with Turks in Mosul 2006, they are looking out for their interests. Reminds me of Trump’s attitude for his country, America First.

Where are all they people who were so against invasions? Seems like Turkey Invaded their neighbor via proxy groups and is rapidly solidifying control.

Israel will be completely surrounded. Europe will soon belong to the new muslim empire who supplies their oil.
No wonder Trump wants Canada to join the US.
NATO should be ditched and the US should build a new alliance.
Add Australia, Canada, Japan and something has to be done about Mexico.
Soome South American countries are already CCP connected.

Erdogan has begun his take over of Syria.

As i lerned fro Darbyites fifty years ago, in the study of eschatology, particularly as pointed out by the Bible prophet Ezekiel, chapter 38:

Eze 38:2  Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him, 
Eze 38:3  And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:
Eze 38:4  And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords: 
Eze 38:5  Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of
them with shield and helmet: 
Eze 38:6  Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee. 
--snip--
Eze 38:16  And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes. 
Most of the reliable commentators say that Togarmah 9the land area is Turkey.

God's Word is true.

People think it is Erdogan motivating himself to extend his influence take charge of Syria (establish another caliphate?).

But Ezekiel says that Jehovah is the One motivating Erdogan to come out against Israel, and be destroyed by Godly forces that keep the Hebrws safe. And the ones to be completely destroyed include Gomer (Germany), Mesech (Moscow/Russia), and Tubal (Tobolsk/Siberia).
