"The emerging consensus was that Turkey was more motivated to attack the kurds'>Syrian Kurds than to clear IS from its border." Read more:
The #Kurds in the Middle East have faced plenty of suffering during the #Trump administration. By @SFrantzman
American credibility. America has had no credibility for the last four years. Written and moral contracts meant nothing. Paris deal. Iran deal. Alliance with Kurds. Support for Nato. Only Trump’s word mattered. Now a hope under Biden the US will honor its word.
The Kurds of Iraq pin great hopes on US President Joe#Biden , viewing him as the most pro #Kurdish #American politician ever.
NEW: He went AWOL from the Army and fought ISIS with the Kurds. Now he’s under arrest for threatening to "defend Tallahassee" from Trump supporters

Massive attacks underway against the kurds in northern syria. No ceasefire. Total nonsenses there is. US military officials tell me they are ashamed, “sickened.” It’s cold now outside. What about the families, and kids, out of their homes? @OARichardEngel #AmericanBetrayal
US officials tell me ALARM BELL RINGING among diplomats in DC that U.S. could one day be held responsible for Crimes Against Humanity for ethnic cleansing of kurds'>Syrian Kurds by opening the door to it, watching it, encouraging it (Trump's tweets and statements) and not stopping it.
Let us be clear: The president has sided with authoritarian leaders of Turkey and Russia over our loyal allies and America’s own interests. His decision is a sickening betrayal both of the Kurds and his oath of office.
Turkey’s conflict in Syria took a major turn today. First alleged atrocities by Turkish-backed Arab militias, executing Kurds. US military officials tell me it's true, and they are DEEPLY concerned it opens the door to BOTH ethnic cleansing of Kurds and return of ISIS/Al-Qaeda
Turkish state-backed media hails a “successful operation” to “neutralize” an unarmed 35-year old woman working to unite Arabs, Christians, and Kurds in NE Syria. Ms. Hevrin Khalef was reportedly dragged from a vehicle and shot to death. That’s a war crime.
The U.S. convinced the Kurds to destroy ISIS for us, causing massive Kurd casualties. Then we conned the Kurds into dismantling their defenses, promising to protect them. Now Trump invites the Turks into Syria, green lighting them to wipe out the Kurds. Positively sinister.
