Trump says lots of things that don't happen. The guy has a habit of talking out his ass like all suits do, no one ever pulled out in the end just like I said.
Yeah, politicians are two faced
, but we are approaching an election period and Trump might decide he needs to follow through on some of his election promises if he wants to get back in...
just saying Assad isn't getting back those kurd areas unless we permit it.
How French of you to say it like that...
I could give a rats ass what happens to the Kurds, I am not some savior. So don't try and argue morality with me.
Why would I talk to an American soldier about morality?
You realize Iran and Syria do not share a border right, there is this country called Iraq between them.
Yeah, the French and British drew those lines in the region based on known oil reserves after Germany got kicked out of the colonial conquest club...
Thing is that the Kurds don't respect borders.... talk to the Turks about that... think of them as mexicans if that helps... whether they are Iranian, Iraqi, Syrian, or Turkish Kurds, the Iranians would expect the US could weaponise them and use them against Iran in the case of a more serious and open conflict between Iran and the US... the US weaponises everything... news media, red cross, salvation army, the easter bunny...
The old "Kurds getting self-rule" Look Assad has said again and again and again and AGAIN it's not happening they either come back under his control or else, this position hasn't changed one bit. The only reason the kurds can even defy Assad is because of us, if we go it's either him or the Turks.
Assad has said not Kurdistan... he does not oppose autonomy for the Kurds as long as they remain part of Syria and therefore under his overall control.
but if I had to kill a Turk I would.
I am sure that is mutual...
Still here, no one left, believe it when it happens not because a politician said it's going to happen.
Hahahahaha... yeah... politicians are
and you really can't trust what they say... but pretty much overnight the taleban in Afghanistan went from freedom fighters fighting the good fight, to 11/9 terrorists that need to be regime changed and exterminated... see how that works?
Russia is in the Middle East to stabilize the situation. Not create more conflicts. They are ultimately balancing a lot of interests in the area (Turkey, Iran, Syria, Lebanon, Israel and others) And real negotiation does not take days to accomplish.
Forgive me, but how is what I said suggesting Russia is creating more conflicts... indeed how could that even be possible in that region?
If Russia can unite Turkey and Iran and Syria and Iraq by making the Kurds the bad guys... why not? The Kurds are allies with the Americans, they are part of the problem. If there was some magical way to make everyone happy... well good luck finding that... you are deluded if you expect Russia to manage that.
Ultimately, conflict and the use of force is a quick 'bandage' on the real problem.
In this region it is really the only cure applied to any problem.
The underlying issue will not disappear and unless you meant to kill the entire ethnic population you're not going to accomplish anything in the long term.
Why should Russia expect to fix everything in the region forever?
Their primary concern was the concerted effort to turn Syria into what has happened in Libya and that is pretty much sorted out... there are a few problems left to deal with but the syrian armed forces have come along in leaps and bounds need rather less direct support to get the job done.
You can bullshit yourself into believing your own lies, though look where this kind of mentality brought the Middle East to.
Which lies specifically?
Hezbollah is increasingly popular in Lebanon, Syria's still there and hates Israeli guts, Iran isn't going anywhere.
Democracy baby... Hezbollah has ever right to exist... you reap what you sow... and when you act like a
every day like Israel does then that is the natural reaction. You can call them terrorists all you want but that is the sort of violence and terrorism that the state of Israel was created by.
Why should Syria even like Israel, and where should Iran go in your opinion?
Even if these countries would be defeated on the surface. They would simply vanish into the mountains and plan a resurgence. Look how well the US war against the Taliban is going.
It is the US and Israel with the support from Saudi Arabia that are trying to make countries disappear like Libya and Iraq and Syria but ultimately Iran... they are the ones believing their own lies.
Hezbullah are innocent little kittens compared with ISIS created by the US and Saudi Arabia from the Baathist Sunnis in Iraq ousted from power when Saddam was murdered...
Additionally the United States simply do not understand Arabs.
They understand all too well... they know if they keep them fighting each other then they wont notice the west screwing them over for their oil reserves, and it also keeps them from ejecting a certain Jewish terrorist state from within their midst... if there was no oil in the region they could care less about the place.
They will never submit to the rule of a Kurdish majority or minority. Tribalism is a live and well in the Middle East and it will not disappear for decades to come, which is why current Arab factions in SDF territories are protesting against them.
The US applies a divide and conquer policy, but a united kurdistan suits them because it would split Iran and syria... which they want broken up, and they really don't care about Turkey or Iraq so that would be acceptable damage... for America.
Various factions have seen that reconciliation is possible and work towards that has already begun, with Russian diplomats helping the process along. Several rebel factions that fought against Russia, now demand Russians are guarantors of the deal - which would unlikely happen if they viewed them as untrustworthy.
And how long will it last... he said she said and then it is all on again.
The issue of Iran blocking the Straits of Hormuz if oil exports stop is drastically under-reported because it would effectively start a war between them and the United States. People delude themselves into thinking it will not happen, but to quote Patrick Lang:
For the western media it is like a bee with a sting... they think the bee wont sting them because if the bee stings them it will die... what they don't realise is that a bee will defend itself if it thinks it needs to... it perhaps doesn't know about the consequences or doesn't care.
... and this is exactly the goal of Israel. They *need* conflict. The United States *needs* conflict. Russia does not... there is a reason why their entire military is built up from a defensive standpoint, rather than offensive.
It is not in Russian or Iranian control... this is not Moscow or Iran saying... hey.... just for fun lets block this stretch of water and see what happens.
This is the US imposing an illegal act of war economic sanction on Iran and this escalation is their best response... you can try to blame anyone else you like but this is Trumps fault.
Oh and the simple reality is that whilst the US Navy *could* and likely *would* take casualties. It wouldn't be as terrible as most people believe. As long as they're able to hit Iranian ballistic missiles in their first strike, the amount of damage they would receive would be limited and Iranian air-defenses aren't going to do well in an area that is filled with mountains. It is simple reality.
I think you under estimate the Iranians... I would expect US bases all through the region would be under threat from Iranian ballistic missiles... not all of which are enormous rockets launched from a big launch pad in the mountains.
That's like saying the turks will attack Russian forces in syria which no they never would, and I mean really go after them because they refused to move.
Except why would Turkey do that... Russia is not supporting terrorists like you are.
He is just using that fact to act like he is pulling out to win him popularity among voters, it is nothing by fraud designed to trick the average mind into thinking he is doing what he promised when really he isn't.
And when a democratic candidate calls him on it you might find yourself pulled out over night...
