Facts should be said about the expected Turkish attack on the Syrian north
By Contribution to Syrializm Analytics
Anyone who observe the Turkish official statements become surprised by its contradiction and the Turkish authorities attempt to ridicule people.
Whoever hears the statements of the Turkish president, disgruntling supplying weapons by the United States to the Syria Democratic Forces, which Kurds whom Erdogan describes them as terrorists are its backbone, at first sight, its believed that these weapons didn’t pass through Turkish territory and not from the Turkish port of Ceyhan to the Kurdistan region of Iraq to reach the SDF.
Perhaps some believe that these weapons were not made in Turkey itself for the benefit of American companies.
Those who listen to the Turkish president’s statements at every Israeli aggression on Gaza Strip believe that the American bombs used by Israel against the Palestinians were not made by the United States in Turkey.
Who heard Erdogan speak and express his condemnation of the transfer of the US embassy to the occupied Jerusalem, it may be forgotten that Erdogan, long before Trump opened a consulate of his country in the occupied Jerusalem to serve Israeli tourists traveling to Turkey.
But the strangest thing is that there are leaders in the SDF are trying to convince their supporters that the actual ruler of Turkey is Erdogan, not the American ambassador in Turkey.
The decision of the Turkish military operation is a Turkish decision and not an American decision, or the Americans will not let them (Kurds) down as they did in Afrin.
They will even tell them that “Israel is with us” forgetting the fact that Israeli companies who removed mines on the Turkish side of the Syrian border.
The decision of the Turkish military action on Afrin was never a decision issued by Turkey, nor in the interest of Turkey.
It’s a US decision to expel the Kurds from Afrin and push them to embrace the SDF to be used by Washington to achieve its objectives.
The decision to bomb Syria Democratic Forces sites north of Syria was a US decision to justify the deployment of new US observation points on the border with Turkey following the leak of weapons to the PKK in southeastern Turkey and direct control of the Syria Democratic forces.
Turkish decision to attack any area of northern Syria is impossible to be taken without American-Turkish coordination and with the leadership of American experts.
In the end, the situation of Syria Democratic Forces leaders will certainly not be better than Saudi Crown Prince Muhammad Ibn Salman, who fell in the trap of NATO.
But the question remains if Trump decided to push the Turkish army into northern Syria, and what would be the motive?
Is it a process of deploying NATO forces to prevent the reunification of the Syrian map?
Or is it a prelude to the American exit and the status of North Syria as a NATO card to Erdogan, like Idlib?
Is it a prelude to massacres against the Arabs of northern Syria to conduct a demographic separation on the basis of ethnicity as happened in Afrin?
Is it a kind of pressure on the Syrian government?
Perhaps the most likely a justification for stopping the fighting between Syria Democratic Forces and the organization of the Islamic state after the organization regained its strength to attack the Syrian government forces in Bou Kamal.
Those who believe that the United States will protect them are in fact delusional.
More important, if the implementation of the Astana agreement fails and the United States refuses to leave the Al Tanf base, so the next escalation may push NATO to lure the Turkish army north of Syria, as the statements of the Turkish president is not absurd at all.
Even Syrian opposition fighters who operating under Turkey’s orders have already begun implementing the scheme.
A spokesman for the main opposition group in Syria, backed by Turkey, said about 15,000 militants were ready to take part in a Turkish military attack on Kurdish fighters backed by Washington in northeastern Syria.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Wednesday that Turkey would begin the military operation within days targeting a border area east of the Euphrates River controlled by the Kurdish People’s Protection Units, a statement that provoked a sharp rebuke from the Pentagon, with the Pentagon announcing that any unilateral military action Northeast Syria would be unacceptable.
The paradox lies, as we have mentioned, that after Turkish shelling across the border on the Kurdish-controlled area two months ago, US forces set up three military observation posts near the border.
Ankara has enemies in the north of Syria, the Kurdish people’s protection units, which it classifies as a “terrorist organization” and as an extension of the PKK.
Finally, as the recently announced information that the upcoming operation will begin from inside the Syrian territory where the opposition forces supported by Turkey will be the spearhead and will be on several axes and will launch concurrently from three joint axes: Manbej, Tal Abyad and Ras Al Ain.
Also just few days before the Turkish and Syrian opposition forces will enter from Turkey with the move from inside Syria from the area controlled by them.
Thus, is there anyone listening?
