War in Syria

American Boots on the Ground - Syria

Medclinician - CWN - JB

It looks like the US is splitting up Syria in a Kurdish part, an IS-part and an Assad-part. Proberbly the Kurdish part will enable Qatar and Saudi oil/gas transportation towards the EU in "competition" with Russian and Iranian energy. Plan B in full swing. 

The U.S. foreign policy in Syria has been ineffective is either stopping Isis or deposing President Assad. Once more we are at a flashpoint which could easily escalate into a world war.  This made more more clear as jets had to scramble as "U.S.-led  coalition aircraft" mobilized to protect ground forces.

As the U.S. continues to support groups which rebel against the regime - an incident could lead to a declaration of war.

Cooperation agreement on Syria between U.S. and Russia

comment: The bottom line here is that one of the key ways to improve the world situation is diplomacy. The first step in normalizing any foreign policy which has been abysmal in the past is focus on what can be agreed on. The conflict in Syria is costing a lot of money, killing many people, and the U.S. has lost a great deal of respect over it.

A priority is reducing the chances of a militray confrontation between U.S. and Russia in Syria and mount a join campaign to stop ISIS (will they ever stop calling it ISIL?)

You won't see this on the mainstream - all nations pursue the best interest of their own countries. This is a reality. Well, at least the U.S. used to under better leadership. Putin does not have a shoe beating on a podium and is not screaming "we will bury you." That was the Cold War.  What a terrible thought - and one which chills many people is that the U.S. and Russia could try and work together rather than be enemies. No one trusts anyone - but we need to start somewhere.

There has been an attack on a UN convoy on its route towards Aleppo on monday.evening What exactly happened is very unclear. After the attack the US is attacking Russia without giving convincing proof.

That brought back memories of the US led coalition drone that flew over the Presidential Palace in Lattakia, which ourair defenses shot down over a year ago.

Would any sovereign country accept foreign powers bombing its army in its own land?

Add to that the Turkish troops in northern Syria who are – under UN cover – wanting to send 40 trucks of who knows what into Syria!

The UN prevented the Syrian authorities from checking these trucks, but they were still labeled “humanitarian aid.”What kind of aid is it really and who is it heading to? “Moderate” suicide bombers? ISIS? 

A next development after saterday the US killing several Russian officers in eastern Syria and (proberbly) last night/yesterdays Russian attack on the western command center in Alleppo could be "a major humanitarian disaster somewere in Syria (gas attack story again like the 2013 western media campain)" organized by the US(rebels) blaming Assad and "bad" Russia. 

Some of the latest developments in the western/gulf states US-led oil-war against Syria.
