“President Trump is right on Syria!,” according to Johny Messo, the President of the World Council of Arameans (Syriacs) (“WCA”). Withdrawing U.S. troops from Syria and halting financial and arms support to the YPG Kurds may help restore peace and security in Syria. Messo further argues that “the YPG Kurds are responsible for the current escalation in the northeast and that they hold the key for peace in this part of our ancestral homeland.”
1) President Trump made the right decision in withdrawing U.S. forces from Syria to end the “ridiculous endless wars,” fulfilling yet another campaign promise; he already ended the covert CIA program of 2013 to arm the “rebels” in Syria. America’s mission to destroy the Caliphate and military power of ISIS was achieved in March 2019. So there was no cogent reason to stay in Syria, let alone to keep arming the YPG Kurds. Staying rather than leaving would be a greater security threat and burden for America.
2) Trump’s edict may lead to peace, security and stability in Syria. Despite the powerful war narrative and war lobby, Trump shows the world that America chooses peace and jobs at home above wars abroad. If other countries follow suit, primarily those whose foreign policies largely follow America’s course, and stop arming their proxies, violence will soon end. Then one can finally focus on seeking a genuine political solution for Syria, beginning in a few weeks through the UN-facilitated Constitutional Committee.
3) The PKK and the PYD/YPG Kurds, who control the SDF, are two sides of the same coin. The communist ideology and violent nature of these nationalist organizations discredit democratic and liberal values.

I still like and respect you and have zero animosity.
B.S.
Christians, Arabs, Assyrians, everyone is being protected in the enclaves won by and held by the Kurds. The Kurds took the lead, but the security is for everyone in northern Syria, and everyone not sitting safe in Damascus knows this. Without the Kurds it is ISIS that would still be holding northern Syria, not Assad. As for Turkey, she never complained about ISIS hold on northern Syria, she bought oil from them, and allowed ISIS warriors safe passage back and forth between Syria and Turkey.
Considering the above I find it hard to believe any Armenian would be in favor of any Turkey invading any place where Armenians lived. Turkey was the Ottoman Empire.

Both Turkey and ISIS are Sunni Muslim groups, and us infidels should expect cooperation between them.
One difference is ISIS is practicing the fundamentals of ISLAM and outwardly killing non-believers to further Islam.
Turkey should be in agreement with ISIS and continue to string us Infidels along with deception. -Tom
Turks are not sunni. they are azeri like the Iranians.
The Iranians would be Shiites and be considered heretics by most Sunnis.-Tom
