US special envoy for Syria James Jeffrey says the US is in talks with various NATO allies for providing more direct military aid to Turkey for the sake of the war in Syria. The US wants other nations to do more in the Syria conflict.
Jeffrey says “everything is on the table,” but it does not seem like the US will be offering much direct aid beyond ammunition. The US is conditioning Patriot missiles for the Syria War on Turkey not activating its S-400 air defenses.
Jeffrey also ruled out the use of US troops in Idlib if the ceasefire collapses. With the ceasefire still holding, the US calls for NATO involvement are likely not being viewed as high priority, but reflective of the US not liking the ceasefire.
The US was backing Turkey’s invasion of Idlib, and the US later blocked a UN resolution that backed the ceasefire. Turkey made a deal with Russia on joint patrols in Idlib, aimed to avoid further fighting.
The North American Terrorist Organization doesn’t need to aid any more terrorists You have already done enough damage all over the world .
Washington is now openly supporting ISIS and asking others to help support these mad dogs.
wow – what a long strange trip this has been
The S-400 is necessary to defend Turkey from Israel. That is the only reason for the freak-out.
US special envoy for Syria James Jeffrey is the sort of Iraq War WMD guy who has led the US into ruin for 20 years, and he is still doing it. It seems unlikely the EU part of NATO is interested in being used in that way, as the US finally crawls away from the disasters these guys caused.
This is the US last ditch effort to buy into the Syrian War via NATO proxy. I hope that Turkey can see that this plan will only last until the US sees something better and will then leave Turkey for dead.
Turkey would be better off asking for Taliban aid which even the US agrees defeated ISIS without US help.
Jeffrey needs a massive heart attack.
I always prefer ass cancer.
The US now openly admits its goal in Syria is to make it ‘difficult’ for Moscow and Damascus to defeat terrorists.
US Ambassador James Jeffrey told reporters on a conference call out of Brussels on Tuesday.
Russia and the Syrian government “are out to get a military victory in all of Syria”,
“The US goal is to make it very difficult for them to do that by a variety of diplomatic, military, and other actions”.
Jeffrey openly admits that an outright Syrian victory over these terrorists would deny the “international community” – as they style the US and its allies – the leverage to insist on regime change in Damascus.
When did NATO turn into a treaty of mutual offense?
When did NATO turn into a treaty of offence? By using NATO to attack Syria which has NOT attacked a member of NATO, instead it is being attacked by a NATO member state.
Jeffrey is about as useful as the Special Rep for Venezuela, Eliot Abrams ie make sure you interfere where you are not wanted and will cause great harm and damage as usual.
hahahahaha
Jeffrey is a war mongering hack and crack pot
If there is a History in 200 years, who will believe all this
the US has no real positive say anymore in what goes on in Syria, it’s trying to be a spoiler, but the die is cast and Syria will soon enough recover all it’s territory, including those parts now occupied by illegal US forces stealing its oil etc etc
