Its Americas way of perpetuating conflict in the middle east ...daily....and  make load money selling guns and also dispersing 100s thousands of refugees into Europe putting massive strains on the economy and causing division and political upheavals all over Europe.......

Iran and Russia wont stand by if Turkey attacks .Turkey is in Nato so the Reds and Iran will arm international terrorists blow fuck out of Ankara .Watch the oil price .The fake attack on Saudi Arabia didnt force up the price getting Iran involved with Turkey will .

Syria is the playground where the world powers are fighting each other without actually fighting each other.  On one side, you used to have America, the EU, Turkey & the Kurds.  On the other side, you had Syria, Russia, & Iran. American troops in the border area were sorta keeping the lid on things.  Erdogan (Turkey) phoned Trump 3 days ago (?) and after the phone call, Trump surprised everyone (incl his Generals) by saying American troops were pulling out. 

This allows Turkey to commit genocide against the Kurds (who were American allies until that phone call).  It also increases Russia's influence in the Middle East while nobody will trust America again.  It seems that every decision Trump makes benefits Putin & Russia.

I'd say there'll be another (proper) war in the area in the next few months, just in time for the American 2020 elections...

Turkey are in NATOso Iran cant attack them Saudi Arabia are not in NATO in a tit for tat watch for an unknown attack on Saudi could even be a false flag job to give a reason to attack Iran .Watch the Oil price .

While the world is looking at Turkey will China kick the shit out of hong kong protesters

Probably.  But China has it's own Muslim problem - the Uighurs.  I read somewhere (link below) there's up to a million of this minority locked up.  (Big country when 1 million is a minority!)

Much of the focus of international criticism of China’s far-reaching anti-terrorism campaign in Xinjiang has centred on the extrajudicial detentions of more than 1 million ethnic Uighurs and other Muslim minorities in internment and political re-education camps.

And then this...
China footage reveals hundreds of blindfolded and shackled prisoners: Video shows what appear to be Uighur or other minority prisoners led away by police

lovely statistic.
the number of suicide attacks in Iraq since the 2003 invasion: 2000+
the number of suicide attacks in Iraq's recorded history prior to the 2003 invasion : 0

Boris knows why...The Ottoman Empire and Attaturk. Poor Rome didn't plan for Attaturk. The Yanks burned down the Library of Alexandria containing all the scripts from pre-Christian times during the invasion of Iraq, Kuwait et al. A bit like when Nikola Tesla wanted to give electricity free to the public........he died, of course,  but all his notes disappeared at the same time. The Turks want to join the E.U...........they provide a vital link connecting Europe to the Middle-East etc...The Yanks have thousands of troops there and some suggest the CIA operate many operations controlling vital supply lines from Constantinople...all conjecture and speculation.

you might be overthinking it a bit Syria ,is weak and Turkey needs Oil ..Trump probably said you go get oil then buy American military hardware to defend it .win/win.More immediatly America has a surplus of oil it cannot sell any disruption to the supply will suit the Yanks .They tried to disrupt the market by a false flag attack on Saudi .If Iran really did that they would of wiped them out .

Possibly, but what harm anyway? We're both in the ballpark.......  I mentioned before how important that region is to the world, including the Russians and Orientals (the false enemies of Uncle Sam and John Bull) and that it is believed by Jews, Christians, Orthodox and Muslims to be the "Cradle of Civilisation". The area we are now discussing was set up by the dissolution of the Turkish Empire under the terms of the Treaty of Versailles. Babylon, or Baghdad as it is now, was under Turkish rule until WW1, as agreed by the Brits, to secure the permanent monopoly of oil for J.D. Rockefeller (Standard Oil Co.) The establishment of Israel as a state in 1947 (the real purpose of WW2) meant a secure pipeline from Mosul to Haifa and established Israel as "The Crossroads of the World". The payoff for Turkish servility may be entry into the E.U. and Solomon is very afraid of Ishmael in this regard....

Solly runs the U.S.A.....he might not own it but he controls it.

Anyone hear Trump's press conference today?  He said he's not helping the Kurds because they weren't on the Normandy beaches during World War II.  You couldn't make it up 

[john m]

Trump is playing at diversion over his impeachment .As soon as he realises he is not getting a Nobel Peace Prize he will start World war 3 and 4 .Kurds will do a deal with ISIS the obvious place to stir the shit is Egypt .
