Kurdish forces strike deal with Syrian government to oppose Turkish incursion

Oct 14, 2019 11:30 am By Robert Spencer

Handling the problem themselves? What? How can this be used to destroy Trump if they do that?

“US-backed Kurdish forces strike deal with Syria’s Assad,” by Helen Regan and Eliza Mackintosh, CNN, October 14, 2019:

(CNN) – Abandoned by the United States and facing a deepening Turkish military offensive, Kurdish forces near the northern Syrian border have struck a deal with the Syrian government, marking a major shift in the country’s eight-year war.

On Monday, Syrian troops were reportedly advancing north towards the border to confront Turkish forces, returning for the first time in years to a region where the Kurds had established relative autonomy, and further solidifying Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s grip on the country….

On Sunday, the Kurdish-led Autonomous Administration of North and Eastern Syria said it reached an agreement with the Syrian government to deploy troops along the entirety of Syrian-Turkish border.

Units from the Syrian Army were moving towards the north Sunday night to “oppose the Turkish aggression” on Syrian territory, according to Syrian state news agency SANA….

    This is a really good development in that it will help put Turkey back in its box (hope US and EU materially support this effort). But the big questions are how will the other parties, Russia & Iran react to this deal and what happens to the Kurds in the long run.

      Actually, Russia was the power that influenced the Kurds to reach a deal w/ Syria: the Kurds obviously would have liked Moscow to do what Trump refused to do. But yeah, Turkey has been taking advantage of the Syrian civil war to sponsor their own puppets – including ISIS – in the hope that they’d conquer more Syrian territory, in addition to historic Hatay. Now, since Russia, Iran Syria has defeated the Sunni insurgency that started w/ the Arab Spring, the only faceoff going on was b/w Turkey and the Kurds. Now that the Kurds have made their peace w/ Damascus, Turkey will find it a lot trickier to make incursions into Syria

      Of course, the DC establishment hates it b’cos we’ll stop playing empire in the Middle East w/o sending the kids of DC politicians to work there w/ Muslims, risk getting blown up any time and so on. Maybe they all could form a legion, take up arms and go to ‘Kurdistan’

    Even CNN had to (if back handed) acknowledge that President Trump was correct. I think that after Erdogan’s malfeasance against the Kurds in Syria, his illegal attempted encroachment of Greek islands near Turkey as well as his latest attempt to intimidate Cyprus with his navy completely encircling the island nation, Turkey should be thrown out of NATO. He seems to be attempting to re-establish the creed of the New Turks of the 19th and 20th centuries.

    CNN? I’m surprised. I thought they had gotten out of the news business years ago…

      Well, there’s an overlap with the cooking business – “nothingburguers” are often packaged as news…

      Oh, no. They are the US subsidiary of a Turkish company called CNN-Turk, which is to Erdogan what Pravda used to be for Leonid Brezhnev

    To hear this makes me glad, the Kurds have been persecuted for centuries by the Turks and others, much of their country is occupied by others, Going back to the Ottoman Empire, also between the two world wars, by the UK, supposedly there as peace keepers, but used them as part of their empire, in a secret war, and their barbarity was watch by Hitler, who then used those methods against Europe.
    The USA has abandoned them now their purpose has been served. What are the Turks doing in Syria its not part of their Empire any more. So by joining with the Kurds,The kurds could get back part of their country, and the Syrians could drive the Turks out of theirs.

    What else can they do? The Syrian Army will probably be less brutal than the Turkish Army.
