Sarah Abed is writing a three part series analyzing the roles some Kurdish fighters have played in destabilizing the region- OJD left the link to her first part and Sarah was kind enough to stop by and share some thoughts.Our exchange is below:
Despite recent reports out of the G20 that the US and Russia have agreed to a provisional ceasefire agreement in southern Syria, evidence on the ground, along with noises coming out of Washington and the OPCW on supposed ‘chem
I find this a very interesting read... The premise seems quite plausible. What do you think about this scenario?Link
As the American's were celebrating their 4th. Terrorist forces backed by the US military smashed through the ancient city walls of Raqqa. Because it isn't just ISIS that destroys antiquities...Of course the necessity to blast the walls was due to their being mines along the wall..Wondering how it is the US knew just the right places to blow the ancient wall and avoid the land mines and IED?
An interview with Milos Kovic, historian, Assistant professor at the Department of History, Faculty of Philosophy in Belgrade, Serbia, who published a book about a difficult moment when only one path remained for Serbia, and not a promising one – “The only path: Entente Powers and the defense of Serbia in 1915.”
How accurate is the theory that there are tragic events of exceptional strength that really shape the identity of a nation? How is this happening and what if we do not learn a lesson out of those experiences?

You are about to enter the ultimate minefield.
Let’s start with 28 EU leaders discussing the Western Balkans at a recent summit and blaming – what else – “Russian aggression” in the EU’s backyard.
Cue to a Montenegro prosecutor raging that “Russian state bodies” staged a coup attempt during the October 2016 elections to stop the country from joining NATO.
FINALLY!!Someone way more mainstream then myself is saying that which has been said here, yet obfuscated by others, for years.. A sigh of relief. My question is where has Mr Petrus been all these years? Same as all the other alternative media, missing in action? Why?!I suppose this means the rest of the so called (Yes, I'm intending the sarcasm) alt media will finally start talking about the remake the region plan, already long at play?James Petrus via Dissident Voice
That's right not a designated terrorist group! Not according to Canada or the US. Same group. Different name. No longer terrorists Brings to mind the YPG /PKK. PKK = terrorists, but, rebranded franchise YPG = not terrorists. Change the name, change the perception, support the same thugs- It’s that simple to hoodwink the masses who refuse to pay attention to what their government is actually up to! And I’m supposed to believe this omission is inadvertent? As if!
Serbia’s President elect Aleksandar Vucic has recently exposed damning statements from William Walker, the American former head of the OSCE (Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe) mission to the war torn Serbian province of Kosovo and Metohija.
Vucic’ statements speak of Walker’s desire to create a so-called Greater Albania that will annex parts of neighbouring states including Serbia, Macedonia, Montenegro and Greece into a large Albanian state in the Balkans.
The baiting of Turkey is already a plan in action! But in this case I'm talking about the laying of a trap. Entrapment to lure into a compromising statement or actHopin' the Turks are wise to a possible false flag? Because the US will engage in that tactic if it benefits them. Hell they'll entirely fabricate an incident if it serves them. The most recent 'chemical attack' in Syria, comes to mind.
