Who believes Erdogan?

An estimation about the recent Turkish invasion in North Syria


It's hard for someone to believe that the Turkish ground forces invaded North Syria to fight ISIS. It seems that the US officials decided to calm down Tayyip Erdoğan and let him play his game for a while, in order to make him forget Fethullah Gülen and the failed coup of July.

Obama doesn't want to risk further with the unpredictable Turkish leader, especially after he showed that he may turn to Putin. Obama also wants to leave without risking further mess in the Middle East chaotic puzzle. He will leave the "hot potato" to the hands of the next US presidency.

Erdoğan knows that he has limited time before Clinton or Trump in the US presidency. Therefore, he tries to take as much as he can and negotiate from a power position when the Syrian hell will end someday.

Right now, Erdoğan's main concern is to retain his agenda, thus exploit the chaos in Syria to enhance the Syrian Turkomans and fulfill his dreams for territorial and influential expansion in the wider Middle East. This explains why Turkey demanded YPG Kurdish forces to retreat back to the east of the Euphrates. Through this move, he tries to maintain an open corridor between Turkey and Syrian Turkomans, but also, to sabotage the Kurdish attempt for an autonomous entity in North Syria.

Meanwhile, it seems that everyone forgot Assad, or, at least accepted him as an intermediate necessity before the final redrawing of the Syrian map. Therefore, all the key players try to focus on their agendas.

For this reason, it is unlikely that the US will abandon Kurds and the plan for a Kurdish state because they have invested so much in this perspective all the past years. While Obama wants to leave quietly without further trouble, it is almost certain that the next US president will not abandon these plans so easily, just for the sake of Erdoğan.

    Get ready for more war coming to the middle east and a major war between Russia and the USA as I am sure Russia does not want this war in Syria to become the battle field but the US and its supporters will keep the flames alight.

Iran & Yemen’s Maritime Trap: How They Control Global Trade

BreakThrough News Saudi Arabia has $142 billion in American weapons. Yemen is the poorest country in the Arab world. So why can't Riyadh win? Last month, Ansar Allah seized Mokha and Perim Island, and with them the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, cutting off Saudi Arabia's alternative oil route around the closed Strait of Hormuz. Mohammed bin Salman begged Trump for US airstrikes, then backed "Dawn of Yemen," a 100-warplane offensive aimed at Sanaa, as crude oil again tops $100 a barrel. Veteran war correspondent and analyst Elijah Magnier joins Rania Khalek and Zoe Alexandra on the Red Sea front, as nearly 1,000 Yemenis have been killed and 184,000 displaced since fighting resumed. But Magnier argues Ansar Allah – often referred to in US media as the Houthis – hasn't lost much ground. He explains why Saudi warplanes are largely powerless in Yemen's mountainous terrain, and why he sees the movement advancing on Taiz and Marib. And Magnier breaks down how Hormuz and Bab ...

Trump & AI Companies Blatantly Meddled in Brazil’s Election to Help the Fascist

The Humanist Report Fascist Flavio Bolsonaro, the son of disgraced insurrectionist ex-president Jair Bolsonaro, came out ahead of leftist President Lula da Silva in Brazil’s election by 2-points. Both candidates will face off in a runoff election in three weeks. Flavio Bolsonaro prevailed, in part, because he enticed Trump to get involved by promising to give American corporations access to Brazil’s natural resources. In other words, Flavio Bolsonaro is willing to sell out his own country for power. Big tech companies also got involved and waged a disinformation campaign to help Bolsonaro. In this video we’ll talk about how Trump and AI companies blatantly meddled with Brazil’s election and talk about why the far right did so well more broadly speaking.

Yemen VAPORIZES Saudi ARAMCO HQ & Obliterates Every Saudi Airport

Jackson Hinkle Official Saudi Arabia's Civil Aviation Authority now confirms that 12 people were killed and 309 injured in Yemen's strike on King Khalid International Airport. Then the strikes kept coming: Terminal 4 in Riyadh, two hits on Dammam's King Fahd airport in 24 hours, Abha, and reports of eight Saudi airports closing. Saudi Airlines is now racing to move billions of dollars' worth of planes out of harm's way, the Misk Global Forum has been cancelled, and the EU–GCC summit has been postponed. After Saudi Arabia struck Yemeni oil fields, Ansarallah issued evacuation warnings for Aramco's Dhahran headquarters, its main Riyadh refinery and King Khalid airport, and footage then showed the Aramco HQ on fire. Now Riyadh is asking for talks in Oman, Trump says nothing happens until after the midterms, and Hinkle shares what the Yemeni delegation went through to reach Iran for the funeral of Sayyed Ali Khamenei.

EU Is Finished & China Can Now Pull the Plug on the U.S. Economy

Glenn Diesen Yanis Varoufakis is an economist, the former Finance Minister of Greece, and the author of numerous bestselling books. Varoufakis discusses how the EU is a cartel designed by the U.S. that is no longer fit for purpose. The German economic locomotive has broken down; the EU no longer has an economic model, its foreign policy is consumed by war, and it has already become a technological colony. Varoufakis also argues that China can now pull the plug on the U.S. economy if it chooses to do so.

Stephen Hawking confirms: The problem is Capitalism, not robots!

globinfo freexchange According to world famous physicist Stephen Hawking, the rising use of automated machines may mean the end of human rights – not just jobs. But he’s not talking about robots with artificial intelligence taking over the world, he’s talking about the current capitalist political system and its major players. On Reddit, Hawking said that the economic gap between the rich and the poor will continue to grow as more jobs are automated by machines, and the owners of said machines hoard them to create more wealth for themselves. The insatiable thirst for capitalist accumulation bestowed upon humans by years of lies and terrible economic policy has affected technology in such a way that one of its major goals has become to replace human jobs. If we do not take this warning seriously, we may face unfathomable corporate domination. If we let the same people who buy and sell our political system and resources maintain control of automated technology, the...
