Diplomat calls on US to unconditionally abandon plans of attacking Damascus

  The initial news reports this morning stated that Turkish military and their proxies had taken Afrin city center and the PKK/YPG had fled the vicinity. I awaited verification.

It was ten years ago this very date I published the first post on this here weblog.Whew, what a whole lot of learning along the way! I'm not kidding. There are 4,410 published posts.I'm unsure of how many news articles, interviews, book reviews, enlightening shows  etc., have been gathered in this one place?

I really need to clear some of my  many bookmarked news articles- All topical. All related to events that are regularly covered here at the blog. And you know what? There's still more to post, but for now, plenty below.

Saved this yesterday, with the intent to post at that time, but real life comes first.Plans for a false flag and a serious warning regarding consequences of those possible actionsThe Warning:

 Theresa May ups the Anxiety Inducing Theatrics in Britain  as everybody sits on the edge of their seats, because Moscow has been given 24, or maybe 48 hours, "to respond".....Oh what will they say?!   I can just imagine what it's like in telly land? The not knowing. This over the top drama, apparent from the get go, now requires you to wait for the next episode  before knowing the outcome. Was just talking to hubby, discussing with him, that I see the whole 24 hour ultimatum as still more theatrics.

I can recall a time, not too long ago, when the statements made by myself, years before M.K. Bhadrakumar's oped, earned heaps and heaps of scorn- How the times have changed..Turkey and the US aren't besties anymore- The USrael machine is working on Israel 2.0 aka Kurdistan.. It's all here

As of this moment, the one truism I can take away from the entire media presentation is that Britain is going for hysteria inducing theatrics- Which is, I think, the desired state they’re attempting to whip the populace into.

For all intents and purposes the fight between the US and Turkey is on. To my mind the on the ground fighting between US & Turkey began around Manbij some time ago. Specifically at al Bab- flashbackThe struggle between Turkey and the US goes back to the Reyhanli bombing and of course the US instigated coup. If you hadn't accepted that US and Turkey "alliance" had become antagonistic then, may as well accept it now.

haaretzI guess we’ll have to wait and see if this Fox News report is like “cocking a gun”
