According to Mr Esper, the SDF are „looking to cut a deal“ with the Syrian government and its Russian allies to counter the Turkish attack.
This, he said, would leave the US forces stuck between „two opposing advancing armies“.

It‘s not an exaggeration to say that anyone who criticizes the Democratic Party, the DNC or US foreign policy (as supported by the CIA/NSA) is instantly, and for that reason alone, viewed as an agent of Moscow. They don‘t even hide their McCarthyism: it‘s the explicit formula:
This NYT article is so perfect: it‘s the exact formula used by DNC-friendly media to smear anyone who it views as adversary: scream RUSSIA & NAZI over & over – no matter what the person‘s views are – and your work is done. Look at Tulsi‘s views which make her a FSB agent & Nazi:
As if to prove my point, NYT just published a “greatest hits” smear piece. All your favorite hits in one article! These are the folks who will be acting as the “neutral” questioners/moderators of Tuesday’s debate lol
What, Exactly, Is Tulsi Gabbard Up To?
She is now injecting a bit of chaos into her own party’s primary race, threatening to boycott that debate to protest what she sees as a “rigging” of the 2020 election. That’s left some Democrats wondering what, exactly, she is up to in the race, while others worry about supportive signs from online bot activity and the Russian news media.
Perhaps strangest of all is the unusual array of Americans who cannot seem to get enough of her.
The DNC and corporate media are trying to hijack the entire election process
The 2016 Democratic Primary election was rigged by the DNC and their partners in the corporate media against Bernie Sanders.
In this 2020 election, the DNC and corporate media are rigging the election again, but this time against the American people in the early voting states of Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, and Nevada.
They are attempting to replace the roles of voters in the early states, using polling and other arbitrary methods which are not transparent or democratic, and holding so-called debates which are not debates at all but rather commercialized reality television meant to entertain, not inform or enlighten.
Who will break out at the next debate? The 2020 race heats up at the CNN/NYTimes Democratic Presidential Debate. Starts Tuesday 8 p.m. ET LIVE on CNN. #DemDebate
Whether it‘s Wall Street, the drug companies or the military-industrial complex, there is no candidate out there that has stood up to the powers that be more than I have.
Sanders on difference with Warren: she‘s a capitalist ‚I‘m not‘
„There are differences between Elizabeth and myself,“ Sanders said, referring to Warren. „Elizabeth, I think, as you know, has said that she is a capitalist through her bones. I’m not.”
„I am, I believe, the only candidate who‘s going to say to the ruling class of this country, ‚Enough. Enough with your greed, and with your corruption. We need real change in this country,‘ “ Sanders added.
Wie die Interpretation des Grundgesetzes zwecks Militäreinsatz im Innern zustande kam
(24. Juli 2016)
Am 17. August 2012 schließlich veröffentlichte das Bundesverfassungsgerichts Beschluss 2 PBvU 1/11.
Wohl gemerkt: einen Beschluss. Nicht etwa ein Urteil.
Durch diesen Beschluss interpretierte das Bundesverfassungsgericht im Jahre 2012 das dreiundsechzig Jahre zuvor in Kraft getretene Grundgesetz einfach um, interpretierte Attentate als „Naturkatastrophe oder..Unglücksfall“ (Wortlaut Grundgesetz Artikel 35!), interpretierte daraus den „Katastrophennotstand“ (von dem im Grundgesetz nie die Rede war und ist) und interpretierte den bestehenden Artikel 35 Grundgesetz dahingehend um, dieser gebe der Regierung das Recht eigenmächtig und ohne Parlamentsbeschluss der Bundeswehr und ihren Soldaten einen bewaffneten Einsatz im Inland zu befehlen, unter Umgehung selbst der „Notstandsgesetze“ und Artikel 87a.

Putin praises Saudi-Russian relations, condemns Aramco attacks, in interview
“If anyone thinks that seizing tankers and attacking oil infrastructure can in any way affect cooperation between Russia and our Arab friends, Saudi Arabia and the UAE, that they can undermine or break down our cooperation with OPEC+, then they are profoundly wrong,” said Putin, addressing a question on regional security.

Syria must be free of foreign military presence, Russia should also leave if Damascus no longer needs its help – Putin

„This is true for everyone. If Syria’s new legitimate government chooses to say that they have no more need for Russia’s military presence, this will be just as true for Russia.“

French frigate in Cyprus’ EEZ, naval exercise underway (Update 2)
“I am not suggesting that we should go to war […]. I am just saying that Europe must show somehow that it cannot tolerate this behavior, that there are certain red lines.
