US-led coalition forces have announced an evacuation deal has been reached with ISIS fighters within Raqqa, allowing the fighters to withdraw from their capital city and into other ISIS territory. US officials insist only Syrian ISIS members are included, and foreigners are forbidden from withdrawing.
The evacuation deal is sure to raise eyebrows, as the US loudly opposed evacuation deals negotiated by Syria with ISIS elsewhere in the country, demanding that all ISIS fighters be killed on the spot. It also undercuts past US claims that there would be no survivors.
The US claim that foreign ISIS fighters won’t be allowed to withdraw also appears to have been untrue, with local officials confirming that a number of foreign ISIS fighters have already left, and have taken civilians with them.
It’s not clear how many ISIS fighters remain in Raqqa, but it doesn’t appear that the battle for the city is over, with ISIS forces remaining in some small enclaves, and only some of the fighters within have agreed to withdraw.
Shocker! Naturally, fighters are needed to go to
Deir Azzor province to fight Strian Army, blocking them from liberating Iraqi border. And then there is US outfit(s) around Al-Tanf, comfy within ISIS territory, and we are supposed not to notice it! Kurds are PKK outfit from Turkey, all of their offices with the pucture of Turkish PKK leader. And as they cleanse Arabs from their future “homeland”, nobody is supposed to notice. We brokered the deal with ISIS in Manbij, over a year ago, kicked out large percentage of Arabs, and let Kurds lord over it. But now, with nowhere to go — ISIS is as good ally as any. Trump is either not listened to or even asked, and is told what to say. With nobody around him to give him any independent information, he is litteraly at their mercy. There is simply no explanation for rhis simulation of fighting ISIS, except that Israel wants at all costs to force US to stay in Euphrates valley, even if it means getting into war with Russia. Israel keeps provoking, bombing Syrian positions here and there — whereever this can be of help to whatever remnant mercenaries are left in isolated pockets. They are hoping that at some point Russia wiuld respond — and the world wide globalist chorus would force Russia to give up. But Russia unlike US has hundreds of years worth of experience with the attempts of various progressive cosmopolitanism — then the word for todays globalists. But nobody destroyed it like Trotsky’s international communism — based on “permanent revolution”. And Trotsky’s spirit was passed on to American progressives, revolution minded left from his intelectual lair in Mexico. Neocon ideology is deeply immersed in Trotskyism, only today in the service of democracy — based on “permanent wars”. To that, added are “free markets”, for globalist corporations to roam.
The only saving grace is the absolute lack of grace in Trump administration, removing all the appearance of propriety and righeousness from neocon agenda. It stands naked in all its ugleness.
But I do not hear left screaming against wars. The reason is — they have bought into globalist nirvana of world without borders, and thus given intellectual foundation to neocon militarism. One cannot scream against militarism, while endorsing the world view that makes the very militarism essential. Left is condemning “nationalism”, as xenophobia, and essentially white racism. And forgetting that fences make good neighbors, rights and respondibilities of owners and household members clearly known by developing over time rules and laws. States are today at the time in history that is calling for better rules of conduct, without infringing on any nation’s privacy — their way of life. But the well meaning left globalism and world without stares and borders — is denying the very right of states to keep their independence. By subscribing to this kind of freedom, they are giving the right to murky interests to roam the globe, while our homes — our countries, are powerless to defend us. Globalists can never answer basic question — if states and its institutions are weak or destroyed, who will protect the ordinary people from the plunder of the rich and powerful? What is to stop them from having their own mercenary army? With piverty, insecurity and no perspective, to be a well paid mercenary — no matter ideology or religion — will be attractive proposition. It allost became reality in Syria and Iraq, but the armies of Wshhabi inspired glibalist calilhate, nearly overwhelmed two states — and the battle fir Libya is still going on. There is no democracy, rule of law, private property or rights to privacy in glibalist nirvana. Globalism, even though neoconservatives are at the helm today gies well beyond that group. It is a fantasy if better world that attracts many — especially houng and idealistic — until they learn better. It is a key to transnational hydras that detest birders and their piddly laws, quaint local givernments, weird ideas of freedom and independence. They, like Trotsky have figured it all out for us. They are the thinking elite — and the cattle would be made reasonably comfortable during its usefull life. Globalism cannot perceive any spiritual meaning to humanity, it is utilitarian and elitist. We have unfortunatelly lost progressive left to globalism, while right often, by reflex, can be convinced to approve wars that actually destroy whatever their values are. Globalist can always find the war we will like.
