This post has been a long time comin' We'll get up to speed on the constitutional talks. US and PKK not pleased. Turkey and US at odds over the safe zone... Not that they ever agreed. Rob Ford appears. Lavrov talks. The US continues to arm the PKK/YPG.
One really has to wonder why the 5 eyes media has failed to adequately, if ever, address the issue of all those US bases in N/E Syria? Alt or msm 5 eyes? And why it is that sites offering the "syrian perspective'"don't broach this subject? Instead it's the same old disinfothama kinda stuff.

It was Shimon Peres who lost to Mr Netanyahu in 1996, weeks after the former prime minister had incensed Israel’s Palestinian minority – a fifth of the population – by savagely attacking Lebanon in a futile bid to improve his military, and electoral, standing.
There are rare moments in history, when even the most determined enemies can suddenly recognize the futility of battle. Sometimes, just for a moment or two. Sometimes, for longer. Such moments of sanity may save thousands, even millions human lives. And, such moments are not expressions of weakness or cowardice; on the contrary; they are embodiments of courage.
I want to believe that what happened at the Lebanese – Israeli border in August 2019, was precisely one of those such rare moments of sanity.
