As Kurdish Death Toll Rises In Turkey-Syria Border Offensive, Trump Demands ‘Soft, Fair’ Genocide From Erdogan
America's Kurdish allies in Syria spent Wednesday getting killed near the border, where Turkish air strikes resulted in the death of at least five civilians as well as three fighters from the Syrian Democratic Forces (which are led by the YPG, America's staunch ally in the fight against ISIS).
Meanwhile, Donald Trump - whose Sunday decision to pull some 50 US special operators away from YPG border positions effectively green-lighted the Turkish offensive - spent his day tweeting about Joe Biden
I thought there wasn’t much in the way of a Turkish economy left to wipe out? Empty words from an asshole. I hope Vlad is happy with his puppet.
At the risk of writing a “disingenuous” “screed”, let that be a lesson all the world over for those would who expect the backing of the United States in their internecine conflicts. If your name isn’t Israel, red, white, and blue are colors that run. Ask the people who overthrew Muammar al-Gaddafi. Ask Ukraine, after the United States gave it a security guarantee in return for them giving up their nuclear weapons to Russia. Ask Georgia before the Russian invasion. Ask Iraqi Shi’a after the Persian Gulf War. Ask the Republic of South Vietnam. Ask C.E.N.T.O. Ask the White Russians. Ask the Arabs of the League of Nations’ American mandate. Ask the French after the Proclamation of Neutrality.
To paraphrase Lord Palmerston, the United States has only one permanent ally (Israel), and one permanent interest (Corporate)
Could it be that money talks and BS walks…….????
