No amount of hate for x country deserves siding with the criminal state known as Israel. Israel will go the way of South Africa before Mandela. Funny, Israeli pilots back then flew against Cubans in the Angolan Civil war if I recall.. (and they weren't the hype - it's all about the equipment you own and the training - simple as that) ...but anyway... birds of the same feather flock together. Moreover, who gave South Africa their nukes? If not rogue state Israel then who? with American soft approval of course as they needed a bastion in Africa in case of Soviet expansion domino style? Not only is Israel a terror state, an apartheid state, a rogue nuclear state, but also a state that engages in the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction - when deemed necessary. Seems the end of the Cold War has made many forget Israel's earlier crimes - as if they somehow have changed. The only thing that changed were proxy wars between two superpowers. But that's coming to play again - and the more these conflicts happen in the geopolitical reshuffle - the more you can expect Israel to play the role of the dirty rats that they've always been - and the U.S will supervise.

    I agree with this.  As much as I disagreed with you before on lots of stuff, this I can fully agree with.

    OT but you pretty much nailed it there. If there was ever a people with a singled minded intent to get their way regardless of leaving a trail of death and destruction behind them it was the Zionists (with all the other names they hid behind) and the state they created, Israel.

    No movements yet but they are definitely hitting the ISIS with artillery in preparation.

    Getting a bit carried away methinks

    Kurdish leaders are pushing for US support for a plan to extend their territory across Syria to the Mediterranean Sea, in order to create a trade route and bolster Kurdish enclaves in the North. The move may run into stiff local opposition. In a mainstream media interview, Hediya Yousef, head of the Kurdish federalism project, said the Syrian Kurds wanted more territory in the North, in return for helping the US retake Raqqa from Daesh. He claimed the Kurds had a "legal right" to create a trade corridor to the Mediterranean.

    The Kurdish-led Syria Democratic Forces are on the verge of liberating Raqqa from Daesh's clutches — when that's achieved, the group intends to occupy the city, and also push further southeast, towards Deir ez-Zor. It has been suggested Kurdish-led forces could eventually push west to the rebel-occupied city of Idlib. Such a move would widen Kurdish-controlled areas in the North, taking in the two Kurdish cantons of Afrin and Rojava, while also expanding Kurdish influence further south, in Arab-majority areas.

    "The people in Deir ez-Zor and Raqqa want the SDF to come; in truth the SDF consists of people from these areas. If we clear all this area from terrorists, then maybe we will go to the other side to also clear that area. If we arrive at the Mediterranean it will solve many of the problems of the population in northern Syria. Everyone will benefit," Yousef added.

    However, she was quick to acknowledge such a plan would require US backing to become reality — and would be strongly opposed by Turkey, which for decades has battled Kurdish militants from the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) and the People's Protection Units (YPG), in the country's southern regions. Turkey views both groups as terrorist organizations, and has vowed to prevent the Kurds from linking Afrin and Rojava. US officials have said that while they "understand" Ankara's concerns about the groups, they disagree.

    Followed by a bit of trolling

    Kurdish fight against Daesh is aimed at preserving Syria’s integrity, Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Muallem said Monday.

    BEIRUT (Sputnik) – Muallem stressed that Syrian sovereignty was unquestionable and was not a matter for discussion. "We suppose that Kurdish citizens’ activity against the Islamic State [Daesh] is a project aimed to ensure the respect for Syria’s integrity and sovereignty," Muallem said.

    Agreed.

    Kurds will be lucky if they survive more than 3 months after Raqqa ops is completed.

    They overplayed their hand massively during Battle of Aleppo last year and casino bill will be epic.

    They should be bending over backwards trying to make some new friends instead of making more enemies. Pride before the fall.

    The Kurds are American bitches(they use them when ever needed), if Erdogan ever gets his head out of his ass and works honestly with Russia than Russia/Turkey can make the US assholes dump the Kurds again. But let's not kids ourselves, these Kurds are dangerous.
