Trump Reportedly Tells Erdogan US Will Cease Arming Syrian Kurds

[Swordsmyth]

Though the details of the call are still unclear, Trump outlined what was to be generally discussed in a tweet, and said this morning, "Will be speaking to President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey this morning about bringing peace to the mess that I inherited in the Middle East. I will get it all done, but what a mistake, in lives and dollars (6 trillion), to be there in the first place!"

Though not verified by the US side, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said Trump told Erdogan during Friday's call that the US will cease supplying weapons to the Syrian Kurdish fighters, according to the AP. Turkey has long considered Syrian Kurdish militant groups to be terrorists, and Erdogan reportedly insisted at the Sochi summit that Syrian Kurds be excluded from all negotiations over the future of Syria on the grounds that they have links to the PKK.

Is this really a good move? This could impact US arms exports and many jobs in arms manufacturing industries.

The Pentagon said on Monday it was reviewing "adjustments" in arms for the Syrian Kurdish forces that have angered Turkey, but it stopped short of halting weapons transfers, suggesting such decisions would be based on battlefield requirements.

"We are reviewing pending adjustments to the military support provided to our Kurdish partners in as much as the military requirements of our defeat-ISIS and stabilization efforts will allow to prevent ISIS from returning," said Pentagon spokesman Eric Pahon, referring to Islamic State, which U.S. and U.S.-backed forces are battling in Syria.
Earlier on Monday Turkish Deputy Prime Minister Bekir Bozdag said Friday's call between Trump and Erdogan was a turning point in strained ties between the two countries, but Washington must honor a pledge to stop providing weapons to the Syrian Kurds.
"The 'We will not give weapons' remark from a U.S. president for the first time is important, but it will lose value if it is not implemented. It would be deceiving the world," Bozdag said.

ISIS filmed retreating from SAA/Albukamal towards US-backed SDF lines


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_PdxvbK10o&feature=youtu.be


===========

Plain & simple:
the SDF and ISIS are now good for nothing else than to hurt SAA and allies.
Hegemons now just using ISIS as they were using it all along - as a proxy-force.
The only change is that they can't hide it so they now merge it
w/ their other proxy-force SDF. Beards are shaved.
The Kurds participate in the Pentagon/US charade to seize & hold Syrian oil assets.

In pure distillation it resolves to State/taxpayer sponsored terrorism...
what it always was and continues to be.

after surrendering to Turkish Security Forces in #Syria|n opposition held Jarablus.

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DQCEIazV4AAk1JC.jpg:small

Question: Who rules the #SDF?

Talal: “ Actually it's the United States who rules the #SDF. Even though elections are held, they are nothing but a theatre. Everybody knows Sahin Cilo. He is the guy who leads everything. He is also one of the administrators of #PKK. “
Talal also says “ I was the guy ranked as number 3 in #SDF. In every point of life #PKK has checkpoints in #SDF. In court, civil council, health and many others. “

Question: Is the US investigates where its guns are going and how it is used in field?

Talal: “ From their point of view they didn't care about where they go. Not even for one time had they asked us where the guns were and how they were used. “

Question: The US claimed that it had given arms to Arabs not to YPG for a while. Was it true?

Tilo: Initially we were signing some papers for the weapons that we get. But later they were given to PKK leaders. There was an infighting between thoroughbred Kurds and Turkish Kurds.

Tilo: “ All of the ideas were throwning by McGurk. Only Kurds were able to get heavy weapons. Arabs, Turkmens, and Assyrians were only given light weapons. The name of Coalition was Arab but it had nothing to do with Arabs. Advanced weapons were given to PKK and YPG for sure “

Question: How many gunmen does YPG have under the name of SDF?

Tilo: “ At least has 50.000 militas. As a #Turkmen|s, under my leadership i had a 65 milita.During the #Raqqa operation the death rate of Arabs was %80 while #Kurd|s was only %20.
Arabs were deceived. “
