Trump announces 'permanent ceasefire' in Syria between Turkey and Kurds; lifts sanctions on Ankara
Fox News ^ | 10/23/2019 | Ronn Blitzer, Andrew O'Reilly

Posted on 10/23/2019 9:15:27 AM PDT by Brown Deer

President Trump announced on Wednesday that conditions have been met between Turkey and the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) for what he called a " permanent ceasefire" between the two sides and that the United States is lifting sanctions on Ankara that were implemented following the invasion of northern Syria.

Speaking at the White House, Trump said that while a "permanent ceasefire" will be tough to maintain in the volatile region, he hopes that it will last and end the conflict between Turkey and the Kurds.

"I do believe it will be permanent," he said. "This was an outcome created by us, the United States, and nobody else...we've done something very, very special"

Trump's comment follows an early morning tweet, where he said a “safe zone” along the Turkey-Syria border and as he faces strong bipartisan criticism for pulling back U.S. troops from northern Syria.

A Permanent Peace.

American Presidents have worked for hundreds of years to arrive at Permanent Peace, and President Trump builds that Peace in two weeks.

And already the RINOs and Never-Trump ‘Pubs are blasting POTUS for pretty much everything he said. I was surprised, though, to see Rick Scott jump on the bash-Trump bandwagon. Then again, maybe I’m not so shocked after all, given how poorly Senate Republicans have been behaving lately.

I watched it and it was good. I was watching it while doing some work on my iPad. At one point during Trump’s remarks something he said awakened Siri on my iPad and Siri asked what it could do for me. Got a laugh out of that but will be glad when SIRIa is out of the news.

“The deep state war machine will not be amused”

It’s cool. We have a 2,000 mile long border of our own that we can deploy all the fun toys to.

Maybe after about 2-3 months of serious low level strafing by A-10s out of D-M and COIN attacks against narco guerillas operating on the border and the interior states of Sinaloa, Sonora and Chihuahua we can then have an announcement like today: only this time it will be about the US border being stabilized, not some obscure terrorcracy that’s 11,000 miles away.

Democrats??? Why are you letting our leading RINOs like Lindsay and McConnell off the hook here. They have been on this like flies on camel dung.
