From “Bring Our Troops Home” to “Sykes-Picot on Acid”: Neocons Get Their Way on Trump’s Syria Policy

WASHINGTON — Since it was announced a few weeks ago, President Donald Trump’s plan to withdraw U.S. troops from Syria has now — unsurprisingly – morphed from an “America First” policy move into yet another “Israel First” and neoconservative-supported initiative likely to continue the U.S.’ illegal occupation Syrian territory for the foreseeable future.

Creating Kurdistan & Peace in Syria/Regional Peace? Peter Koenig Kicks Off The Hard Sell

It's not lost on me that Mr Koenig is a banker. Formerly with the World Bank. I don't believe he's a "whistle blower" outing the anglo zionist attempts at reshaping the globe.
