Surely you’ve all noticed by now I’m not on the same page as many analysts or op- ed writers/journalists that have declared Turkey “the winner” in Syria. I can’t even listen to the Duran when they talk about this situation as their analysis is just absurd to me. Actually they’ve lost me since they’ve been […]
As I’d mentioned previously, way to much disinfo spreading regarding Israel & Turkey being in cahoots regarding Syria. Total bullshit. Those that made these claims seemed to be intent on spreading intentional disinfo associating Turkey with Israel to obfuscate Israel’s support of the majority of the proxy forces in Syria, including PKK/YPG as well as […]

So often, I’m gobsmacked at the incomprehensible claims made by some so called analysts. The analysts who just can’t seem to grasp what is taking place in plain sight. As the ME/NA is remade, yet again. It’s the birth pangs of a new middle east. (That’s a tag I brought over from my old site) […]
An oped from Daily Sabah. Some may still think Israel is in a defensive position, but it is not. They may also assert that Israel can now relieve itself of its actions, but it will not. As it is clearer than ever, Israel is not the victim, but the source of the problem, and its […]
Keep in mind that many of the fighters supported by Turkey are Syrians. Displaced Syrians. Also bear in mind the presence of all those US bases in occupied Syria, along the Turkish border, with their PKK/YPG allies. Reuters Two U.S. senators introduced bipartisan legislation on Friday that would impose sanctions on Turkey, citing concerns over […]
