Turkey Immediately Attacks Syria By Bombing Kurdish Supply Route Just Hours After President Trump Gives Order To Pull out US Troops…..
9 October 2019
Turkey fires first shots: Ankara bombs Kurdish supply route ahead of invasion to create a 'peace corridor' along border just hours after Trump pulls US troops - as president reveals he has invited Erdogan to the White House next month.
Turkey fired its first shots against the Kurds overnight by bombing a key supply route on the Syria Iraqi border mere hours after President Trump orders US troops out, officials have confirmed.
Well, that didn't take long, less than 24 hours.
Turkey is now officially at war in Syria with our now-former allies the Kurds, who were so instrumental in our fight against ISIS.
Funny way to treat an ally, don't you think? This will go down as a very, very bad decision by President Trump, one that could possibly have a strong impact on the 2020 elections.
An even worse decision by Trump is the invitation extended to Turkey president Recep Tayyip Erdogan to come and be a guest at the White House in November.
As God's protective Hand is pulled farther and farther away from America, the chaos and the craziness is being multiplied to a once-unimaginable level.
Is this what it looks like when a nation is collapsing? That's what it looks like here, and you don't need to be a prophet to see that.
Turkey confirmed it carried out strikes against Kurdish forces on the Syria-Iraq border overnight Monday.
FROM THE DAILY MAIL UK: The Turkish air force struck the Semalka Border Crossing in order to stop Kurdish forces resupplying along a route which links their territories in northern Iraq and Syria, two security officials said.
'One of the fundamental goals was to cut off the transit route between Iraq and Syria before the operation in Syria”, a source told Reuters. 'In this way, the group's support lines, including ammunition, are shut off.'
Video shot in the area overnight shows two large flashes against the horizon while the distant sound of fighter jets can be heard. It is thought this shows the crossing being destroyed.
It comes a day after Donald Trump agreed to withdraw US troops from Syria and hand control of regional security over to Turkey, which has vowed to create a 'peace corridor' along its border by wiping out 'terrorists'.
Trump also confirmed on Tuesday morning that he'd extended an invitation to the country's president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, to meet with him at the White House in November.
In a tweet, Trump said Turkey was a 'good trading partner of the US' and had been 'very good to deal with'.
Turkey views the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces - America's key ally in the battle against ISIS - as a terror group and has previously outlined plans to strike a series of their strongholds along the border.
Trump has been accused of a 'spineless' capitulation to Turkey over his pledge to withdraw troops - and on Tuesday denied that he had abandoned the Kurds to their fate.
He tweeted: 'We may be in the process of leaving Syria, but in no way have we Abandoned the Kurds, who are special people and wonderful fighters. Likewise our relationship with Turkey, a NATO and Trading partner, has been very good.'
Trump defended his decision to withdraw troops from the region, despite it being met with fury and disgust by GOP lawmakers.
Shortly after announcing he'd extended an invitation to Ergodan, Trump tweeted that: 'Turkey already has a large Kurdish population and fully understands that while we only had 50 soldiers remaining in that section of Syria, and they have been removed, any unforced or unnecessary fighting by Turkey will be devastating to their economy and to their very fragile currency. We are helping the Kurds financially/weapons!'
As the Syrian conflict threatened to enter a deadly new phase:
Iran, Turkey's regional ally, warned Ankara not to push ahead with its invasion and to 'respect' the territorial integrity of Syria
Israel’s covert war against an Iranian shock attack. General Kochavi prepares IDF counter-offensive......
09 October 2019
The Yom Kippur Eve message broadcast by IDF Chief Lieutenant General Aviv Kochavi held the key to Israel’s intention:
“We will not let harm come to Israel and if it does, we shall respond with power.” This shorthand phrasing meant that if, on the 66th anniversary of the grim 1973 war, Iran’s leaders decide on another surprise attack on Israel, like the September 14 cruise missile-drone assault on Saudi oil facilities, this country, unlike the US and Saudis, will hit back at strategic targets on Iranian soil.
And if the attacks come from Hizballah in Lebanon or Shiite militias in Iraq, now massively armed by Iran with ballistic missiles and air defense systems, then Israel will direct its counter-offensive at those sources.
Kochavi’s words were carefully chosen. He did not say “all our power,” only “power” – thereby leaving the IDF with the option of follow-up counter-operations.
He went on to say: “We have seven eyes open, conduct day-to-day situation assessments and make professional and responsible decisions with regard to offensive action for pre-empting threats, while also preserving balance.”
Military and intelligence source stress that the IDF is now facing its most challenging mission.
How to overcome the failure of a single US or Israeli radar beaming on Iran, whether ground-, ship-, air or satellite-based, to pick up on the preparations to shoot missiles against Saudi oil facilities, even after they were already airborne.
No one in the region noticed anything amiss until Iran’s missiles and drones actually exploded on their Saudi targets, hitting them with exceptional accuracy.
It must be assumed that with all the precautions outlined by the chief of staff, neither Israel nor the United States has unravelled the riddle of how the Iranians managed to bamboozle all the most advanced regional and local defence systems.
Away from the public eye, Israeli and Iran are using all their brainpower in a covert mind and cyber contest. The IDF cannot promise at this stage, however, to avoid being caught out by Iran or be sure of pre-empting a surprise attack.
