TASS Russia ^ | 11/25/2022 | TASS

Attacks of this kind place coalition forces and the civilian population at risk and undermine the hard-earned stability and security of Syria and the region, CENTCOM spokesman Colonel Joe Buccino said

WASHINGTON, November 26./TASS/. US-led coalition forces came under attack at a US-controlled base in Al Hasakah province, the United States Central Command (CENTCOM) said in a statement.

"Two rockets targeted coalition forces at the US patrol base in al-Shaddadi, Syria today at approximately 10:31 p.m. local time in Syria,: the statement reads. According to the document, "the attack resulted in no injuries or damage to the base or coalition property," while the "Syrian Democratic Forces visited the rocket origin site and found a third unfired rocket"...

The Pentagon is trying to stop the Turks from expanding their current air and artillery ops against the Kurds (Syrian Democratic Forces) into ground attacks.

Iranian backed militias also suspect in attacks like this.

The US said an attack earlier this week by the Turks put US forces at risk.

“US-led coalition forces came under attack at a US-controlled base in Al Hasakah province”

Our Syrian “Democratic” Forces headchopping waabbist rebels.
We created this whole war to unseat Assad. Our ISIS got out of hand, and then we turned another faction against them.
The war in Syria is one of the most un-American things we have ever done.
President Trump tried to end it and the Pentagram and MIC and CIA simply flipped him the finger.

“The Pentagon is trying to stop the Turks from expanding their current air and artillery ops against the Kurds (Syrian Democratic Forces) into ground attacks.”

This is getting fun. Turkey holds the key to getting Sweden and Finland into NATO, and right now they’re not playing ball, due to Sweden harboring Kurdish terrorists in their country.

So the Neocons have to make a decision here: Do they give Turkey a green light to head into the Syrian territory that the Neocons claim to own, in order for Turkey to clean out the terrorists, or do the Neocons continue to defend the terrorists, even against Turkey?

Not easy being a Neocon these days!

I suspect the Neocons will finally leave Syria, and with that, Assad completes his defeat of the the Neocon-supported ISIS terrorists. By doing so, there will at least be a chance of getting Sweden and Finland into NATO and thus getting closer to their BIG PRIZE, which is destroying Russia (and then China, and then India).

The woman in the UK trying to get her citizenship back Shamina Begum was trafficked as a 15-year-old to be used by ISIS for exactly what you’d expect her to be used for.

She was trafficked into Syria by a Canadian intelligence operative and needless to say Canada does its work under CIA direction.

You have to have a program to keep track of the wars we’re involved in. I’m sure I’ll be denounced as an Erdogan stooge if say no US quagmire here either.

Do they mean our NATO partner, Turkey?

Literally the Fox in the hen house and we’re pumping billions into Ukraine.

Only the most idiotic people on the planet would be ok with this.

And all because Turkey has all of Europe under its thumb by controlling the immigrant invasion

“Now that is a little thick even for them Bob. They aint that GD stupid..or are they?”

They’re practically at war with a nuclear superpower over something that in no way was a threat to the US. Even a year ago, you would have been accused of smoking something if you claimed that the US was willing to ignite a hot war in Russia’s backyard.

The only thing that has surprised me since is that we’ve made it this far without the Neocons figuring out a way to go nuclear...we’ll see how much longer that lasts.

As to what I said, their plan actually made some sense, at least if nuclear weapons didn’t exist. It basically went like this:
1. Russia is weakened by being surrounded by hostile countries (Ukraine being the big one) and squeezed.
2. This results in the overthrow of the present government and replacement by a Neocon puppet government (just as in Ukraine).
3. With the Neocons (and by extension Globalists) now in control of Russia’s resources, they can then bring China to heel - do as we say, or no oil/gas/coal for you!.
4. And then India, of course.
5. At that point, the rest of the world will have to take orders from the Neocons/Globalists
6. And then the planet is SAVED from Global Warming!!!!

The only real monkey wrench is Russia’s nuclear arsenal (and then China’s), but I guess they figured that the cost of doing nothing (meaning a world they didn’t control) was just too high, so they had to move out, regardless of the risk.

The only reason the US is in Syria is a gas pipeline. That’s it. And the US has no more business in Syria than Russia does in Ukraine.

Ahlam Albashir, Istanbul terror bomber, trained by US forces in Syria.

After the Istanbul bombing, CIA director Bill Burns met with his Russian counterpart in Turkey.

Turkey starts to bomb PKK/YPG sites in Syria and Iraq.

Turkey holds the key to allowing Nordic NATO wannabe nations into NATO . As per Turkey, Nordic NATO wannabes are providing shelter to PKK/YPG terrorists. Turkey has requested the wannabe nations to turn over said terrorists, the wannabes have as of yet ignored Turkey. Turkey told the US to stuff Pedo Joe’s “condolences” regarding the Istanbul bombing, stating that “the killer arrives at the scene to view their handiwork” .

The US is up to no good in Syria, stealing Syrian oil and training terrorists.

One can only imagine that the Russians told CIA director Burns that Turkey was going to bomb the crap out of the Kurds and that the US was going to have to enjoy eating a shit sandwich while Turkey did so.

The truth is that Syria doesn’t resist anymore. Syria is not governed as a nation while all the various outsiders fight amongst themselves for their limited agendas.

Russia will be gone if not already leaving a vacuum for Iran and maybe Turkey.

How is it possible that our NATO ally, Turkey, is firing rockets and conducting air strikes "danger close" to American forces in eastern Syria? What the HELL is going on?

We are only being told 1/4 truths, and mostly lies, about why we still have military forces (and a ton of CIA etc) in eastern Syria. The three maps below will go a long way toward understanding the real situation, which is preventing Iran from establishing a land corridor to the Mediterranean.

Russia has long-established navy bases in Syria. Blocked in by geography in the Black Sea, these forward bases on the Med are extremely critical and strategic. This is why Russia has never backed down from its support of the Assad regime.

And this is why America intentionally destabilized Syria, leading to the bloody ongoing civil war, tens of thousands dead, millions of refugees fleeing to Europe, and millions of Syrian civilians currently starving under Western-imposed economic sanctions, etc. Even hospitals cannot get electricity more than a few hours a day, because even generator parts are blockaded. All this mayhem and misery was triggered and sponsored by America in another "color revolution" under Obama/Biden/Hillary.

(Notably, the oil fields in eastern Syria are still pumping away, under American military protection, but the output is directed away from western Syria, where people are starving in the dark, and into Iraq, under our control.)

This "color revolution" leading to the ongoing civil war was done in spite of the fact that the Syrian govt was and is a secular coalition of Alawites, Christians, Shias and Sunnis, quite moderate by Middle East standards.

And our current "allies" in eastern Syria, now rebranded yet again from the old Free Syrian Army to the SDF or Syrian Democratic Forces, are just the same old Al Queda and ISIS terrorists, (plus Kurdish PKK and other various "freedom fighters" considered terrorists by Turkey), but now with big fat CIA paychecks.

War and politics make strange bedfellows. Into this strange cocktail, overlay and blend the Kurdish ethnic groups and their own sub-groups consisting of many ideological and religious mixtures.

But above all, from the American point of view, preventing a Shia "land bridge" from the Med to Iran is the primary mission. Our neocons could give a shit less about the people who live in Syria, east or west, any more than they care about the bloody ongoing civil wars and humanitarian catastrophes in Yemen or Ethiopia. It's all about blocking Iran's "Shia Crescent" land bridge.

What makes all of this skullduggery bubble to the top is the volatile "triple mix" covering the nearly lawless region:

1. National borders and identities.

2. Kurdish identity against all the existing nation states the Kurds must exist within.

3. The vicious Sunni-Shia ongoing struggle.

Eastern Syria and Northern Iraq are largely "ungoverned territory," up for grabs by whoever can fight for it, and hold it. Some of our "allies" are Kurdish terrorists, like the ones who detonated a bomb on a busy shopping street in Istanbul 2 weeks ago. Turkey takes a very dim view of this, even if American troops get in the way of their air strikes. We are in Eastern Syria to control and direct its oil output, and to prevent the Iranians from connecting to the Med, even if our presence is seriously pissing off the Turks, who want a free hand to go after their enemies. That is the bottom line. That is what is REALLY going on.
