I’m seeing this whole ceasefire as a ploy. That’s it. That’s all. Israel is “keeping the peace” so a relatively smooth transition can be made from the Biden to the Trump administration. It’s not credible to me that Israel would give up on it’s expansionist goals. Call me pessimistic, while keeping in mind I do […]

Excerpts From Just Security The Trump administration comes into office as the United States and its Western allies are on the verge of losing Georgia, and the loss to U.S. interests would be considerable. Once one of America’s most reliable non-NATO partners on the European continent, providing valuable personnel to U.S.-led missions, Georgia also is […]
Thankfully Mr Mercouris was quiet. Chas Freeman made some very good points and was more realistic on the Turkish/Israel situation, how both nations are actually at odds regarding Syria, which they are! He talks about Turkey and it’s relationship with Sunni Muslims at large. Which is a bit simplistic, but, has some truth. He also […]

Israel, Syria, Turkey and the US
Excerpts from a round up of related news articles; Syria is about to find out if getting rid of Assad is enough to please Washington By Ivan Timofeev, programme director of the Valdai Club.

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 […]

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 […]

Syria as a massive trap?
This is a very interesting perspective. Much of it makes sense to me. I’m not saying it’s correct. I’m saying Alex Krainer makes some very, very good points regarding the interactions between nations, particularly Turkey. Which, as Alex points out Turkey and Russia have some very serious deals between them. Pipelines, nuclear power plants etc., […]
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2025/01/06/ukraine-trump-russia-putin-zelensky-nato A Trump imposed bad deal. What is that exactly. Is that a frozen conflict? A negotiated settlement? Or a continuation of the status quo. Trump is not entirely innocent, nor is he entirely guilty. But perceptions must be managed, always. That said, I don’t think Trump will let this fight go- I don’t believe […]
https://www.jpost.com/israel-news/article-836362 Israel must prepare for a direct confrontation with Turkey, according to the Nagel Committee’s latest report on the defense budget and security strategy. The committee, established by the government, warns that Turkey’s ambitions to restore its Ottoman-era influence could lead to heightened tensions with Israel, possibly escalating into conflict. Notice the claim of Turkey […]
The Globe and Mail– Via Archive.ph The author of this piece is sure to include Turkey as the main instigator of the downfall of Syria- This is totally incorrect. The main instigator/s have always been, same as now, the US, UK, Israel and their PKK allies. Turkey has a role, yes, but it was a […]
