Trump’s Syrian Maneuver Works. President Erdogan Asks for Negotiations With Kurds in Syria

quote:
President Trump has played this out perfectly. By isolating Turkish President Recep Erdogan, and effectively leaving him naked to an alliance of his enemies, Erdogan is now urgently asking for the U.S. to mediate peace negotiations with Kurdish forces.
This request happens immediately after President Trump signed an executive order [See Here] triggering the sanction authority of Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin. Erdogan called the White House requesting an urgent phone call with President Trump.
After President Trump talked to Kurdish General Mazloum Kobani Abdi, the commander of the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces, President Trump then discussed the options available to President Erdogan. As a result of that conversation, Erdogan requested the U.S. mediate negotiations. Vice-President Mike Pence announces he will be traveling to the region with National Security Advisor Robert O’Brien to lead that effort. WATCH:

There is an old Kurdish saying that I am fond of quoting in times likes these and it goes like this.
"Never ever trust the camel humping bare handed arse wiping Turks."
Here are some other well known sayings about the Turks and believe me they do apply. I did a couple of exercises over there back in the day and they are never ever to be trusted.

At this point, it looks like a very clever way to end the war, and get us out of Syria.
And he did it in a way that the neocons couldn't stop him.

Anyone have a link to this? Pence said Trump was reiterating his desire to negotiate a cease fire and Erdogan committed to not attacking Kobane.

Oh you mean conservativetreehouse isn’t good enough for you?

There is a video in the link in the OP where Pence describes the current situation.

I refuse to believe this. I was told that Trump was directly responsible for the deaths of the Kurds, just like he was responsible for all the deaths during the Great Net Neutrality Crisis.

... And one more:
"the emperor should be moved not only by his bounden duty, his office, and the command of God, nor only by the unchristian and vile government that the Turk brings in, as has been said above, but also by the misery and wretchedness that comes to his subjects. They know better than I, beyond all doubt, how cruelly the Turk treats those whom he carries away captive. He treats them like cattle, dragging, towing, driving those that can go along, and killing out of hand those that cannot go, whether they are young or old."
- Martin Luther
The Ottoman and the Arab (Turkey and Saudi), our ancient enemies of old. How we pretend they are allies and conjure up demons to fight in Russia and Iran when they are nowhere near the threat.
