Damascus Condemns Joint Turkish-U.S. Patrols In Northeastern Syria

Syria has condemned the joint Turkish-U.S. patrols in the country’s northeastern region, calling it a “flagrant violation of international law.”

A source in the country’s Foreign Ministry told the Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) on September 8 that the step is an aggression aimed at complicating the ongoing crisis.

“The Syrian Arab Republic condemns in the strongest terms launching joint patrols by the US administration and the Turkish regime in the Syrian al-Jazeera region in a flagrant violation of international law and the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Syrian Arab Republic,” the source said.

The source went on to reiterated Syria’s “absolute rejection” of the so-called “safe corridor” agreement between Turkey and the U.S.

The agreement, that was reached last month, is supposed to address Ankara’s security concerns in northeastern Syria, where the Kurdish-dominated Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) is in control.

Damascus had called on Kurdish forces in the region to take a stand and defend the country’s sovereignty. However, the U.S.-backed SDF has been complying with the agreement, so far.

Putin strengthens Erdogan terrorists with S-400.Russia allow Erdogan according to Astana agreement to Redeploy back to USA oil and gas thief’s.

Putin even offer Trump to buy most sophisticated supersonic weapons.Yeltsin was n drunkard and have sell out USSR.Putin is n mister cool boy who betray both allies and Russia.

If NATO succeeded to know and surpass Russian technology then Hacking and attacking Russia will be imminent. France canceled Russian ship deal under Sarkozy. Macroni refused Putin invitation to France.

Trump canceled Putin Trump summit. Stil Putin buy face while under severe Trump sanctions.Both Satanyahu and Erdogdig down Russian military plane but stil short boy buy face with those criminals who shed Russian service members blood.

Trump canceled to meet Taliban and Afghanistan leader after one of his single soldier were killed. What is the used of Astana talks if Asad enemies makes it’s own agreements.Attack and fly and drive as their please in Syria.

Most basic necessities of Syria are in the hands of USA NATO. Namely Dabca dam,Deir Ezzor and Omar oil and gas field.Turkey has infested Nothern Syria with head choppers.

The protest was necessary, justified and not number 1 on the plate now. Latakia, Idlib and Al-Tanf need to be settled first, in my opinion. After those things get done, all eyes fall on the Kurds. President Erdogan is having increasing political problems at home so, his timeline is proceeding to become less firm. President Trump doesn’t really want more and the election may or may not lock him out of his seat.

Israel will not have anywhere near the support it has now, if the Donald is removed. They have money but, nowhere north votes and quite frankly, APAC is going to have serious trouble with the Progressives et al, that have crept into power in the US. They don’t give a damn about religion, being decidedly hostile to it.

Now the next ball to drop….. One thing finally admitted to recently in the US financial circles is that the economy is riding on the consumer. There is no more development, real economic advancement there. Workers there are in a fix and it is generally getting gloomier on the horizon. The next financial crisis, which will arrive in due time, will definitely put the brakes on the military. Once this happens, a whole lot of places like Syria, disappear in importance. The BRI is encroaching more each day.

Taken altogether, these patrols seem like less than a tempest in a tea pot. They won’t last. Turkey will eventually leave. The US will be gone. This process cannot be stopped. Russia killed it the moment it entered the war, with all these other circumstances already in the mix to one extent or another. So, I don’t give the joint patrols too much weight. They are PR stunts. My take and I wish well to all.

Green on blue attacks will create tensions within this new alliance soon enough.

nothing much to do right now – first clear out the jihadist and the turks from idlib, veer east and confront the kurds and turkey will follow (a grip on the short and curly and mind and body will follow), despite the unhinged states of A alliance ’cause the kurds are a much worse menace to the turks than even the israelis (who will be addressed in due course) and erdogan will spend his last pound on getting rid of the kurds. the alliance is just a prop for the time being getting the kurds off his back while he sorts the rest of the mistake committed.

Totally in agree with Damasco. However, SAA must free Idlib of terrorists first to be able to do the next big step to recover its territory. Without an offensive at Idlib, it is impossible to recovert it..

Erdogan, it will be as your crimean tatar dreams, it’s going to end very bad for new Enver Pashas.

So far the Syrians have been all mouth and condemning US/Turkey for violating Syrian sovereignty won’t solve the problem; attacking them will. Intended circus when the Danes arrive.

Willing Conscience (The Truths

The US controlled SDF has been bending over backward lately trying to keep Erdogan pacified, but I think they’ve forgotten Erdogan can’t be pacified, but not all of them have forgotten. Some are leaving the SDF and either joining self defense units in their own homelands, or heading to Tall Rif At to confront the Turks there, so they’re not all bending over backwards, some of them are actually shaping up for a fight.
At its height the SDF had nearly 65,000 fighters and the vast majority of them were Kurdish, but now we only have about 30 to 35,000 Kurds in the same 65,000 strong SDF force, that means at least 15 to 20,000 [possibly more] Kurdish SDF fighters no longer fight for the US, so who are they going to fight for ?, I think I know.
