**** European Union threatens Turkey, after Syria invasion
****


[Image: g191010b.jpg]
EU Parliament VP Federica Mogherini. She could be a lot hotter if she learned how to smile.

Turkey is receiving almost universal international condemnation for
launching its long-planned military invasion of northern Syria.
Turkey has been massing forces on the border for a year, with the
objective of setting up a buffer zone in northern Syria, and
neutralizing the PKK terrorists living there. In the long run, Turkey
would also like to relocate some of the 3.6 million Syrian refugees
that it's hosting into the buffer zone.

Officials from countries around the world are demanding that Turkey
end the invasion immediately.

The most interesting condemnation is a speech by EU Parliament VP
Federica Mogherini, in which she made the following farcical
statement:

<QUOTE>"The Turkish operation into north-east Syria can open
a new dramatic chapter in the already very dark history of the
Syrian war.

The potential consequences of such military action are clear to
everyone – at least are very clear to us. The repercussions can be
extremely serious in humanitarian, military, political and
strategic terms. For all these reasons, we call upon Turkey to
immediately stop its unilateral military action. ...

But Turkey’s legitimate security concerns should be addressed
through political and diplomatic means, not military action, in
accordance with international humanitarian law. We urge all to
always ensure the protection of civilians and unhindered, safe and
sustainable humanitarian access throughout Syria.

Our goal remains to help the Syrian people build a united,
sovereign, democratic and inclusive Syria.

A sustainable solution to the Syrian crisis will not come through
military means. I think that this is very clear to all, at least
this is very clear to us Europeans. The only way to achieve peace
and security in Syria is the full implementation of the UN
Security Council Resolution 2254 under UN auspices."<END QUOTE>


I suppose that I shouldn't be so hard on Mogherini. After all what
else can she say? She's just a puppet saying what she has to say.
If she said something different, she'd just be replaced by a different
puppet.

****
**** United Nations makes new delusional statements on Syria
****


Mogherini's statement is completely delusional. UN Security Council
Resolution 2254, adopted on December 15, 2015, says that everyone in
Syria should stop fighting and expresses support for "a Syrian-led
political process that is facilitated by the United Nations and,
within a target of six months, establishes credible, inclusive and
non-sectarian governance and sets a schedule and process for drafting
a new constitution, and further expresses its support for free and
fair elections." This is totally laughable.

Against that, we have the psychopathic, sociopathic monster president
Bashar al-Assad of Syria, who freely uses barrel bombs, chlorine gas
and Sarin gas on women and children, in order to exterminate his
political enemies, and who is supported by Iran, who wants a clear
path to Israel and the Mediterranean Sea, and which routinely uses
torture, rape, beatings and murder itself.

Al-Assad is also supported by Russia, which doesn't care about
al-Assad's use of chemical weapons and genocide, as long as it gets
its military bases at Tartus and Hmeimim. Russia, which has no
hesitation to commit genocide when it's convenient, also loves the
Kurds because they're Communists.

Since 2012, the United Nations Security Council has put forth one
farcial resolution after another. Bashar al-Assad, Russia and Iran
have used these as cover for their use of barrel bombs, chlorine gas,
Sarin gas and genocide of women and children. Bashar al-Assad has
made fools of one credulous UN envoy after another -- Kofi Annon,
Lakhdar Brahimi, Staffan de Mistura. Obviously, the same kind of
thing is happening now with Mogherini. If United Nations officials
didn't have delusions, then they would have any thoughts at all.

****
**** Turkey's Erdogan responds to European Union's threat with his own threat
****


So everyone, including Turkey's president Recep Tayyip Erdogan, knows
that UN Security Council Resolution 2254 is completely farcical. But
as we said, what else can Mogherini, except her ridiculously
delusional statement.

Turkey has been hosting 3.6 million Syrian refugees, and 300,000 of
them are Syrian Kurds, who have fled the violence of Syria's civil
war. Erdogan has frequently expressed anger at the EU for not
supporting Turkey, which is a Nato member, although after years of
negotiations, the EU did agree to pay some financial assistance (3
billion euros) for the refugees. However, in her speech, Mogherini
threatened to limit this financial assistance.

Erdogan responded on Thursday in a speech to his governing party:

<QUOTE>"The objective of our operation is to avoid the
establishment of a terror state in the south. That’s what we are
working for.

Just like other operations conducted by Turkey, the objective of
the Peace Spring is to contribute to the territorial integrity and
political unity of [4]Syria. It’s quite obvious that one can talk
about the territorial integrity and political unity of this
country while one-fourth of its territories are under the
occupation of the PKK/YPG."<END QUOTE>


Erdogan referred to the 300,000 Syrian Kurdish refugees that Turkey is
hosting, and the Kurdish People's Democratic Party (HDP) political
party in Turkey.]

<QUOTE>"Let’s first see this. They are still in our
country. Why don’t we talk about it? America does not see this,
nor does the EU. To whom will we explain all these? Then we should
tell this to our own people. There is a political party at the
parliament which takes support from a terror organization. They
will never see but we will let them see one way or another.

You [the HDP] cannot describe our operation as an invasion. You
cannot depict our army as an invading force."<END QUOTE>


Erdogan responded to Mogherini's threat to cut off financial
assistance to Turkey for hosting the 3.6 million refugees with a
threat of his own:

<QUOTE>"Hey, European Union! Pull yourself together. I repeat
it: If you try to describe our operation as an invasion, we will
do what’s easy for us: we will open the doors and send 3.6 million
refugees to you. ...

You have not given anything to us for our efforts (to host
refugees). It was us who spent $40 billion. We’ll continue our
path by spending the same amount of money, but we will then open
the doors.

You cannot remain silent when terror organizations attack
Turkey."<END QUOTE>

**** ISIS prisoners in limbo
****


[Image: g191010c.jpg]
Syria camps for displaced people. Families of ISIS prisoners are in Roj, Ain ISSA, and al-Hol. (BBC)

Thousands of displaced Syrians are living in temporary camps. The
families of suspected ISIS prisoners are help in three of them, Roj,
Ain ISSA, and al-Hol, which house 1,700, 12,900 and 68,000 people,
respectively. Al-Hol is about 60 km from Turkey and so would not be
in the proposed buffer zone. More than 94% of the people at al-Hol are
women and children, and 11,000 are foreign nationals.

Many of the ISIS prisoners are being guarded by Kurdish forces, and
their disposition is now the subject of finger-pointing. Donald Trump
says that some EU officials have asked him to transfer them to
Guantánamo prison, which he refused. Trump has asked the EU nations
to take back their own citizens that went to Syria to join ISIS, but
they're refusing.

Mogherini is demanding that Turkey take full responsibility for them,
but whether that will happen remains to be seen.

****
**** Anti-war politicians blame Donald Trump
****


Mostly left-wing politicians in Washington are blaming Donald Trump
for causing the invasion by withdrawing 50 soldiers from observation
posts in Syria near the Turkey border. This is laughable, considering
that Turkey has been massing forces on the border for a year in
preparation for this invasion, and 50 troops would have made no difference.

Trump says that the original agreement with the Kurds was that we'd
provide support, weapons and money for 30 to 90 days until ISIS was
defeated, and then we'd leave. Trump says that there was never any
commitment to protect the Kurds forever.

Now we're hearing that Democrats want US soldiers to intervene to protect
the Kurds. I've been through this too many times. Anti-war democrats
supported the Iraq war before it happened, but then later pretended
that they had opposed the war all along.

So here we go again. Let's get US soldiers involved in the war
between Turks and Kurds, so that later we can pretend we were against
doing anything of the sort, and then we can impeach again.

As regular readers know, Generational Dynamics predicts that there is
an approaching Clash of Civilizations world war, pitting the "axis" of
China, Pakistan and the Sunni Muslim countries against the "allies,"
the US, India, Russia and Iran. Part of it will be a major new war
between Jews and Arabs, re-fighting the bloody the war of 1948-49 that
followed the partitioning of Palestine and the creation of the state
of Israel. The war between Jews and Arabs will be part of a major
regional war, pitting Sunnis versus Shias, Jews versus Arabs, and
various ethnic groups against each other.

Although all of those wars are coming with absolutely certainty, it's
impossible to predict the exact scenarios that will bring them about.
One possible scenario is that they will be triggered by a war in
northern Syria.

One thing is certain: World War III will occur whether the 50 US
soldiers are withdrawn or not.
