Turkey Invades Syria, Backed By U.S.By Brandon Turbeville According to the BBC, A dozen Turkish tanks and other vehicles have rolled across the Syrian border after heavy shelling of an area held by so-called Islamic State (IS). Military sources told Turkish media 70 targets in the Jarablus area had been destroyed by artillery and rocket strikes, and 12 by air strikes. For those who may be wondering exactly what the Turkish goal might be, two points must be mentioned in regards to Turkeys actions which should go some length to demonstrate that the Turks are still focused on destroying the Syrian government as well as preventing the establishment of a Kurdish enclave either in Syria or Turkey. First, the Turkish military is acting as the frontal assault for moderate rebel forces like the FSA who are marching in directly behind the Turkish military to hold territory conquered by the Turks. Any association with the Free Syrian Army, a gaggle of Western-backed extremists indistinguishable from ISIS, should be a major warning sign to any informed observer that the goal is not to aid in the destruction of terrorist forces in Syria or to assist the Syrian government in its goal to do so. Second, the Turkish invasion was accompanied by American airstrikes which clearly indicates that the Turks are operating closely with the United States, which has been chomping at the bit to either directly destroy the Syrian government via military invasion or to create buffer zones and safe zones in the country to act as forward operating bases for future terrorist proxy operations. Al-Masdar reports on the progress of the Turkish military offensive by writing: According to Faylaq Al-Shams official media wing, their forces captured the village of Tal Katlijah after the Islamic State of Iraq and Al-Sham (ISIS) terrorists quickly abandoned the area in order to reinforce Jarabulus. ISIS has mostly abandoned the small area between Jarabulus and the Turkish border, leaving only small units to resist the advancing Turkish-backed rebels. The Turkish-backed rebels are now attacking the hilltop village of Tal Shaer, which is along the road to Jarabulus. The Turk agenda here is also two-fold: On one hand, Turkeys Erdogan wants to continue to work with NATO and the United States to destroy the secular government of Bashar al-Assad while, on the other hand, Turkey needs to do all it can do to prevent an autonomous Kurdish enclave on its border with Syria. An effective way to do this is to create a buffer zone between the Kurds and Turkey while, at the same, making sure that the dimensions of the buffer zone are the same as the safe zone desired by NATO two years ago in order to keep terrorist supply lines moving through Turkey and in to Syria. That narrow and porous jihadist corridor has become known as the Jarablus corridor, the same areas which the Turks are now invading and filling up with terrorists as we speak. For its part, the Syrian government has condemned the Turkish invasion. As ABC News reports, Syrias government has denounced Turkish military incursion, describing it as Turkeys blatant violation of Syrian sovereignty. In a statement reported by state-run news agency SANA on Wednesday, the government says that any move to combat terrorism on Syrian territories should have been coordinated with the Syrian government and army. The statement also calls for an immediate end to the Turkish aggression, which it says is being carried out under the pretext of fighting terrorism. It says: Fighting terrorism cannot be undertaken by ousting Daesh and replacing it with other terrorist organizations directly backed by Turkey. Daesh is the Arabic language acronym for IS. The YPG has likewise condemned the Turkish involvement in Syria, labeling it a blatant aggression in Syrian internal affairs. Turkeys move raises even more questions now regarding the nature of its recent failed coup as well as its relationship with Russia and the United States. A troubling new dimension has also been added to the Syrian crisis as the Turks have now officially invaded a sovereign country in an already volatile region. Undoubtedly, we will be watching these events closely.

This article may be freely shared in part or in full with author attribution and source link. its biblical that the next war will start in Syria, how many factions or countries are fighting against each other there now? eventually it will escalate. the only thing that can save us now is prayer. What, you think this will start a nuclear war? And if so can you elaborate how that might come about? Who would launch first-strike for instance? I have read a lot of articles on the coming war, north korea has been threatening a first strike for years and they now have long range capability along with the short range that can be fired from a cargo ship. iran probably already has a nuclear weapon but will probably give it to a radical group to use so they wont be blamed. china is gearing up for all out war and has also been threatening the u.s. for not allowing them to take over Taiwan and I think hong cong. many articles have been written on the fears Russia has of a u.s. first strike and has all but come out and said they will strike first. they are also preparing their citizens by building underground cities like the Chinese are doing. the u.s. is putting missiles in Poland again supposedly to defend against iran but its to defend against Russia. even in the u.s. they are building underground tunnels in the u.s. (videos from tunnels under Walmart) it seems the whole world is preparing for war, governments are trying to manipulate weather (some may think this a conspiracy theory but look up H.A.R.R.P.) read an article about thirty years ago how the Russians were sending microwaves into the atmosphere to change jet streams trying to make a warm water port in the mediterrean and since then the east coast weather has been drastically changing. the water shortage, is it possible that an entity is trying to stop food production whether it is the corporations who now own most of south America or the government for control. so a first strike? dont know who will start it but the elites on all sides want to eliminate 90% of the population and what better way than a nuclear war. look at Ezekiel 38 and 39 while watching the news articles on turkey attacking Syria with u.s. planes, Russia attacking Syria (u.s. sponsored fighters) china is sending troops to Syria .we have sat back and allowed God to be taken out of our schools and our government and wonder why he is standing back and not protecting us any more. What if the war being launched in Syria is not a classic world war but the final war for our minds and what little freedom remains? Syria is the last country that the rothchilds dont have a bank to control the nation. it would seem that the accumulated conflicts would lead up to Armageddon as prophesied in the Bible. the final war for our minds and freedoms is always in the background with satan trying to defeat the last of the saints before Jesus comes back to settle it all. Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. pray, seek Jesus because its all in Gods plan to prove his word and let people see they still have a chance if they follow Him. Syrias central bank is tied to the Bank of International Settlements, the Rothschild mothership of international central banks. Syria has also been implementing IMF structural guidelines, for years, and formally signed on to UN Agenda 21, neoliberalizing Syrias culture and economy since the at least the early 2000s. The Assad clans wealth (billions) is interwoven with global elite holdings. Yes, we wrestle with rulers of the darkness who dont want the free world to see whats headed our way. thought they hadnt got a rothchild bank yet, thanks for the information. Syria has not signed the UN Agenda 21. All countries in attendance at the UN simply agreed to support it. The agreement was made via consensus and isnt currently legally binding. Syria is not part of the IMF, its banks and stock exchange (DSE- The Damascus Securities Exchange) is state owned or private and I cannot find any information that says otherwise. Agreed. Thats not correct, Syria is implementing the UN sustainability model that is Agenda 21, but nowhere near the level of progress of Iran and Russia who are far along into the planning and implementation, esp. Russia. I didnt say Syria is part of the IMF or currently has an IMF loan, I said it has been implementing IMF structural agreements. I read the official documents of the IMF committee for Syria. The Syrian govt itself recently asked that the UN oversee its humanitarian corridors rather than Russia (said to be a snub but I dont think thats it either). Gospel of Thomas: Jesus denounces anyone who puts their spiritual development in the hands of others, be they priests, prophets or politicians. Truer words have never been spoken. Throughout history, look at the mess these priests, prophets and politicians have made of our beautiful world. They sell nothing but false hope, lies deceit, fear, death and destruction. Most of them truly are evil incarnate. Iran and N Korea are still on the list. Its already too late for humanity. Look at the suffering western politicians have bestowed upon the people of secular Syria, fully supported by the western sheeple and never once did they threaten us, even now after all the death and destruction, Assad still hasnt threatened the west, yet the harbingers of death and destruction (Evil Elitists and their puppet politicians) would have us believe hes an evil dictator and half the stupid brain dead sheeple continue to believe every word of it, while applauding the death and destruction of Syria and its people.Theres no better teacher than first hand experience, Karma is a dish best served cold and the west deserves everything thats coming its way. Ironically when the death and destruction arrives on our doorstep, the immoral brain dead sheeple will be the first to cry foul play. You nailed it. Maybe it is hopeless with the masses brainwashed as much as they are. Humanity has been set at each others throats for countless generations and mass scale genocide has been another feature in all cultures. Who stopped the communists from murdering over 90 million of their own dissidents citizens in China, Russia, etc, the vast majority peaceful people? On the other hand, defeatism looks and smells a lot the learned helplessness weve been conditioned to our entire lives. What Absolute nonsense. God has never protected anyone and theres not a single shred of evidence that says otherwise. Stupid religious zealots have been waging war ever since God/Gods were invented. Slaughtering each other while appeasing their imaginary friend. Absolute insanity. I sincerely look forward to the day when all traces of God/Gods are eradicated from this Earth and the heavens and sanity is restored to this corner of the universe. Following the recent suicide bombing at a wedding in Turkey resulting in 51 deaths, the global lame stream media is portraying Turkeys military incursions into Syria as a nation victimized by ISIS joining the global coalition to confront terrorism. Were also told Turkey and Russia are becoming allies and Erdogan is dumping his apex elite handlers based in the US in retaliation for a coup instigated by Gulen. So, whats going on, is it simply a US backed attack on the Assad government or more layers of obfuscation? Before the suicide bombing, the Turkish government was about to enter a peace agreement with the Kurds. This process has been delayed but is still on track as part of the process of giving the Kurds a homeland. global lame stream media Sweet. I like it! I dont trust Erdogan as he is no better than the US pollys speaking with forked tongues. Agreed, Erdogan is no friend of the people forked tongue. What if my premise is correct and all nation state leaders are part of the global elite mafia? Then this is all a grand stage play to manufacture consent for a global military force to fight terrorism. They simultaneously use it to track us all. Every time another of these deeper incursions happen at the hands of the elite ruling class, whatever side theyre on, it becomes that much more evident that the only way they will ever be stopped is when the rest of us around the world realize that we are not the enemy. And by we I mean the 99% of the planet. And when we do realize that were gonna have to get up off our couches and act in solidarity. And with meaningful purpose. Or none of us, our children or their children may survive the future. And not because of nuclear war. but because the 1% control everything we need to survive, while at the same time theyre destroying the environment. Beautifully put. Had I been able to, Id have up-voted your comment 100 times! Ill second that! U2! Thank you! Almost 99% of the 99% either cannot or will not be distracted by getting off their couches and putting their butts into some kind of solidaritygear. The we referred to by James Stone are pathetically mind controlled and under-prepared to act on their own behalves. Thats the problem that guarantees destruction of the environment. Observationally I have to agree. But that is no reason to give up on them. To stop trying to rally the troops so to speak. Is it? Many of those we roam the posts in these blogs, perhaps waiting for the right words, the properly-put motivation to move. Motivation youre not supplying with an attitude like that. I prefer to be optimistic. I prefer at least not to lay down and quit. How about you? Excellent post. You get it. We need to take the elite globalists out now! Thanks brother! Yeah, if only we could muster up some significant support If we can get Jill Stein elected that would be a really good start. They might make her time in office impotent, but theyd also be hard-pressed to do anything without her approval. That couldnt be said I dont think for any of the other candidates, including Johnson who as a libertarian is just as much a capitalist as the rest of them. Well meanwhile I guess we just keep pushing back! Let em know were watching them? And Turkey had the gall to shoot down a Russian plane for being in Turkish airspace for 17 seconds! So much for respecting borders! They respect what they consider their own borders at the time Sometimes I think it is hard to take some of this seriously because Im sure there are some Ive missed, but when you back up and start looking at it from a distance, it really starts looking pretty nuts. Maybe we should start concentrating on the people who are constantly trying to make us afraid. sorry you feel that way, yes I do see satan in a lot of things but I also see God in most things which is a comfort for me. I dont know everything about what is happening in the world or why but I do know that God has a plan and we are all included in it being able to make choices to go in any direction we want and follow any God or god or not. so I will still pray to my God and believe He will fulfill his purpose in me and you regardless of what we think about it. maybe im not as smart as some people but that doesnt mean I dont reason like you do, I have just come to a different conclusion that God is real, does intervene in our lives, is with us now and will be there in the end.
