Turkish president renews threat to launch offensive against Kurds in U.S.-controlled territory in Syria

Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan escalated his threats Monday of a military attack on U.S.-controlled territory in northeastern Syria, while the U.S. military insisted that the two countries were “making progress” in resolving their differences.

Erdogan said that President Trump had “responded positively” in a Friday telephone call to one Turkish demand — that U.S.-allied Syrian Kurdish forces be moved out of the Syrian town of Manbij. But Erdogan said that Turkish operations farther to the east, where Kurdish fighters occupy a series of Syrian border towns, were ready to start “at any moment now.”

Turkey, Erdogan said during a speech in central Konya province, would act “without harming the U.S. soldiers” in border observation posts and interspersed among the Kurdish fighters.

Especially for the people of Syria who have been through so much horrific suffering during the war orchestrated against Syria. It was never a civil war as reported by western media due to the fact that western and Gulf State powers along with Israel pumped money and jihadists into the country. They used NGO’s to fool the public and orchestrate regime change.

I’m no fan of Trump but this is certainly a good development. I saw some videos the other day showing Syrians celebrating Christmas in a number of cities. That was quite nice to see as the terrorists there aimed to kill Christians and other religious sects that were not strictly Sunni Wahabi Salafists.

Better be careful he does not get Kennedied.

Way to go Trump!

Declare victory and walk away. Let’s do the same in Afghanistan and Iraq.

:unsure:

There is no chance of a positive outcome should we stay.

Well, that’s today. We’ll see about tomorrow.

remember dems will soon be attacking trump for doing this and scream puppet of putin.remember dems today are to right of trump on foregin policy.

i really hope bernie isn’t pressed to attack trump on this.

Since it is Trump and seems to announce such things as a way to negotiate, eg. could be taking this position just to get something from the MIC in order to stay.

Also, as we have seen, it is not really up to Trump whether we stay in Syria or not and every time Assad is on the eve of victory or resolution he mysteriously commits a “gas attack” that forces us to stay.

to finance his wall.

He definitely is not concerned about the Syrian people.

I would like to see some quotes. I’m highly skeptical that European leaders favor an increased probability for conflict with Russia.

And look at the Washington Post pretend that US foreign policy brings security to the ME.

Another switcheroo after another false flag gas attack.

As belated as this is imo, it is surely better than what Hillary would have done.

I believe that she’d have accomplished ‘regime change’ in Syria by now, (regardless of what the Syrian citizenry wanted and further straining relations with Russia), and she’d been well into doing the same in Iran.

That said, one must always wonder if President Trump actually plans on doing what he says or if he’s playing some sort of 1/2 dimensional tiddley winks.

Turkey will probably move in and slaughter them without protection. Right or wrong, we encouraged them to help us.
