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.

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.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Worthy of reposting.

I like the way you think pard, a sure way to end the narco traffic across the border. The A-10s would rapidly rip the cartels new ashaoles, turning off the USD money taps which keep these poisonous cartels alive. Mexico should pay us to do it.

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

Thereby interfering with another treasured interest of the deep state corruptocracy.

The demand will now be that we have a peacekeeping force in the region.

strafing by A-10s

I have long wondered that myself. Can't imagine it would take 2-3 months. A couple of passes and Mexico is going to look like the retreat of Sadam Hussein's army back to Baghdad.

“Democrats stand to lose millions in cronyism and nepotism, thus very outraged.”

“Who took my cheese!?” screamed the spawn and relatives of politicians and high level federal bureaucrats. “Daddy promised me a job for breathing.”

This man really accomplishes things. I guess that’s why the bureaucrats hate him so much.

They say he’s incompetent and confused and that he’s in way over his head.

It’s kind of funny.

Media Spin: He only got involved in this because everyone knows that sanctions against Turkey and a conflict with the Curds would only drive up the price of Turkeys and cheese and with Thanksgiving fast approaching he didn’t want to be blamed for ruining American’s holiday dinners. It was a purely selfish move.

It seems the deep state has no intention of actually protecting our own country. Their actions speak louder than words.

The minute the Prez finished, I switched to MSNBCOMMUNISTAS.....and watched the usual panel of mind-numbed robots trying their best to negatively nit-pick and parse every other word in his speech.

These panelists were experiencing extreme birth labor-pains, each straining mightily to deliver an elephantine blow to the the President and his policy......but they only succeeded in delivering a litter of runt gnats that died immediately on the delivery table.

This all happened when it did because of the Trump imposed tariffs. Don’t think for a moment these tariffs didn’t get Erdogans attention and in a very big way.

They have been lifted because of the agreement announced this day but they can and will be slammed back on Turkey if the cease fire is violated.

I have said this before. Future wars will be mainly fought on an economic battlefield rather than a military one.

Yeah great speech

He carefully avoids mentioning Russia or Assad

Did say we are continuing to occupy the oilfields until we decide who gets the oil

Im old enough to remember when liberals thought that was the basis of our Middle East policy
