The Next Phase in the Geulah Process

Erdogan…The Kurds...Saudia Arabia

TIME FOR A KURDISH STATE

Finally carving out a Kurdish State would be a crowning achievement good for America, good for Israel and the rest of the Middle East. [. . .]I also think that if the President tells Erdogan that he wants to create a Kurdish State, Erdogan will give in just as he promised the President he would not attack the Kurds after the American troop withdrawal. [. . .] I fully expect the Secretary of State, the New Secretary of Defense and the National Security Advisor to be very busy in 2019. Overall, I am optimistic that a Kurdish State will be part of their workload. arutzsheva

TURKEY SENDS TROOPS TO NORTHERN SYRIA

'Tanks and other heavy weapons' reportedly seen moving from Turkey into Kurdish area of Syria, following announcement of US pullout. Rami Abdel Rahman, the head of the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, told AFP that “Around 35 tanks and other heavy weapons, carried aboard tank carriers, crossed the Jarablos border crossing in the early evening.” [so much for Erdogan compliance]

“They headed for an area near the Sajour River, between Jarablos and Manbij, not far from the front lines where Kurdish fighters of the Manbij Military Council are stationed,”


CHECKMATE – SAUDI CROWN PRINCE MbS SENDS TROOPS TO DEFEND KURDS

Saudi Arabia and the UAE have sent military forces to areas controlled by the Kurdish YPG group in north-east Syria, Turkey’s Yenisafak newspaper reported.[. . .] the forces will be stationed with US-led coalition troops and will support its tasks with huge military enforcements as well as heavy and light weapons.

Quoting the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, the newspaper reported that a convoy of troops belonging to an Arab Gulf state recently arrived in the contact area between the Kurdish PKK/YPG and Daesh in the Deir Ez-Zor countryside.

This comes at a time when Ankara is preparing to launch an expanded military operation with the Free Syrian Army against the Kurdish PKK group in the northeast of Syria.

So to summarize: President Trump withdraws U.S. troops from Syria, and leverages his relationship with MbS to step up to replace them, thereby eliminating any concern that Turkey might take hostile action toward our Kurdish allies in Northern Syria.  Source of sharp observation by ShiratDevorah
