President Trump spoke briefly on Wednesday morning, Washington D.C. time, appearing with an assortment of military leaders, the Vice President and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. The expression on the President’s face was serious, but his speech was far from the gloom and doom predicted (and desired) by much of the mainstream media outlets (including Fox News), and of course, the military-industrial complex.
And yes there is a pro war "left" out there.. they are the writers who gloss over the FACT that Syria's being chopped up and push the idea that north eastern Syria belongs to some group of alleged 'egalitarian' democratic persons... Who stand for nothing but peace, love and understanding making all this death and destruction 'a good thing'. They are the sites/authors that advance the cause of "greater Kurdistan" or write about Rojova as if it exists, while never asking if it actually does? Or should? Or, what was the cost for it's creation? Who really desired this creation?

Hilarious spin still ongoing. -Now we're supposed to believe that the Americans are withdrawing from N/E Syria. Again. But they aren't. They are going no where at all. -The next lie we're to believe is that SAA were the fighters entering Manbij. Not bloody likely. -Then were supposed to believe that SAA passed American troops one entering, one withdrawing on the road to Ayn Al Arab (Kobani) Absurd!
Considering multiple scenarios about the Saudi attack while not discounting the possibility the Houthi fighters may have pulled this off. Maybe? However, Saudi Arabia employs some very stringent security around it’s facilities. So questions have to be asked.Link
As mentioned back on the 7th of August: There is NO Agreement on a US/Turkish “safe zone” in Syria despite the perception managing media claims. Reiterated on the 17th of August Turkey & U.S. Disagree On Safe Zone- Because There is NO Agreement.
