Your map proves that the Kurds lived on that land. It was their home.

Hate to see Syria suddenly "become" a Russian client state.

[When in 1948 Joseph Stalin recognized Israel he saw it as possible socialist satellite state. However, soon after Israeli-Arab war broke out, it was clear that Israel would become right wing state orienteered towards West. That made USSR to start supporting Syria and Egypt the leading countries against Israel. USSR also supported Arab nationalist regimes in Libya and Iraq and supplied all these countries with weapons. The two major Arab-Israeli wars in 1967 and 1973 was a display of soviet weapons against western, where western weapons proved superiority. As similar to Egypt, USSR also sent military advisors and instructors to Syria. Unlike Egypt, Syria never ceased its struggle against Israel and did not broke ties with Soviet Union and later Russia.

Most important part of this alliance was the establishment of permanent Soviet naval port in Tartus. It can hold four medium-sized vessels only if both of its 100 m (330 ft) floating piers, inside of the northern breakwater, are operational. It is not capable of hosting any of the Russian Navy’s current major warships which range in length from the 129 m. After the fall of Soviet Union the Russian naval operations in Mediterranean Sea vanquished, but the base was kept. Also a soviet listening base is thought to be located in the coast of Latakia and still operational.

Tartus lies on Syria’s western coast and has had a Russian naval presence since 1971. At the time, the Soviet Union was Syria’s primary arms supplier and used the deep-water port as a destination for shipments of Soviet weapons. Russia managed to maintain access to Tartus after the fall of the U.S.S.R. due in part to a deal that wrote off Syrian debts to the Soviet Union. The Russian naval base itself is reportedly less than impressive—it lacks large-scale repair facilities and a command-and-control capability, which would allow Russia to oversee operations from Tartus—but it is able to accommodate all Russian naval vessels except for the Admiral Kuznetsov aircraft carrier, and offers a means of offloading arms and personnel.

Seeing Liberals advocating for blood and grime, simply because they hate Trump never gets old.
But hey, those Turks have half of their asses in Europe and aren't Black enough (lol wrong)
so how dare they protect their homeland from "the Kurds"?

Then just stop looking at it that way, numbskull. You are spouting total bullshit. You don't seem any brighter than Trump has shown himself to be.

Consistency was never one of "her" strong points.

Perhaps it's an Indian/Pakistani/Kiwi/Yugoslavian cultural thing.

Don't get all perky here, Vette. She isn't into your scat fetish.

And you might remember WHO she dumped him for perchance?

Ivan The Terrible, currently doing 50 years in prison for killing his girlfriend.

What happened to the disaster? All of you dopes were wrong it seems. Trump wins again, deep state narrative goes up in smoke.

 

[Klinkster]

Good heavens!
Peace!
A horrendous turn of events!

 

[SpeareChucker]

Oh boy!


...

Anyway...obviously Syria is just another piece of the containment strategy puzzle.

Trump loves undoing decades of work with single twits.

Oh. I see. Permanent cease-fire...


What a bad fucking thing.
We did so want them to kill each other... no?

If by "wins" you mean giving Syria to the Russians, along with a warm-water port; you're right.

John...



The Russians have 'owned' Syria for years...
