Over the weekend, the US announced its intention to establish a 30,000-strong force along the north Syrian border, a group which would be mostly composed of Kurdish forces backed by some smaller Arab groups.
Turkey and Syria were both quick to complain about this plan, but Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov offered more serious concerns about the long-term ramifications of this new force.
Lavrov warned that in making the region controlled by US-backed forces a more permanent fixture, they threaten to lead to an outright partition of Syria itself, with a large part of the country wholly out of the central government’s control.
Ironically, the US had long opposed the suggestion of any partition in Syria, insisting that they would not accept any post-war situation that increased regional autonomy or established a federal system. US policy, however, seems to be headed toward maintaining such autonomy, if only to give them a pretext to keep military assets in Syrian Kurdistan.
US efforts in Syria are intended to break up Syria, so that Israel does not have a powerful neighbor, just a collection of terror groups it will freely bomb. The plan was published years ago, and is proceeding despite lies meant to hide what they are doing. It is called the Yinon Plan. It is proceeding.
The US (NATO) wants to guard Syria’s border with NATO (Turkey)? LOL! So which direction gets ‘guarded’ against the entry of Islamist mercenaries?
It’s simple America is taking a play out the ole Russian Military playbook and creating a frozen conflict in Syria. The same thing that’s happening in Ukraine damn was that so hard to figure out.
I see. So the US is just protecting the ethnic Americans in that part of Syria? And Syria is on the US border?
No they are violating a nations sovereignty and using there military influence to carve out strategic pieces of there territory to serve there interests in that region. Same thing Russia is doing in Ukraine all that protecting ethnic Russian propaganda is the a bunch of Putin juice you love to swallow. I don’t drink that Kool aid but you do.
Propaganda isn’t needed to tell me there are millions of ethnic Russians living in Ukraine. And you continuously ignore the geography. We are on the other side of the world in Russia’s backyard. I don’t doubt there is more to Putin’s reactions than just ethnic Russians and it’s not hard to understand why.
If you know that the infringing on Ukraine’s sovereignty to protect the Russian population who live in Ukraine is just propaganda than why do you repeat Putin’s talking points? Everyone knows he didn’t want Ukraine to join the European Union and Russia was afraid Ukraine would join NATO so he created a frozen conflict and used hybrid warfare to infringe on Ukraine’s territory and serve Russia’s interests. Now America is doing the same thing by protecting it’s Kurdish allies in Syria that want to seceed from Syria and create an autonomous state and you have the audacity to complain. Like I said go get you a big cup of Putin juice and chug it.
It isn’t propaganda, there are over 8 million with a very long history of being a part of Ukraine. I said it wasn’t the only reason. The other being it’s in Russia’s backyard. Ukraine had decided against the EU, hence the US assisted coup. And let me know if there are 8 million ethnic Americans in Syria with the history like the Russians, and Russia, have in Ukraine and maybe the comparison with Syria will have merit. The Kurds are hardly allies, just pawns, and the only interest the US has in the region is doing Israel’s bidding. Again, look at a map.
You certainly seem infatuated with Putin’s juice.
Seems to me there’s a cheap trick that’s been around a long time … . I.e., to deter a particular train of thought, first put it in the mouth of someone we’re not supposed to like –and that could be as trivial as just saying he said so. Then anyone who thinks it is just-like so-and-so, or even buys-the-bs-from so-and-so … or is silly-to-repeat stuff supposedly from so-and-so.
But that’s just Canadian Propaganda. Everyone knows it shouldn’t so seem.
