When Daesh occupied the Jarabulus-Azaz pocket, the border was not closed. There was no border wall erected. The Coalition practically begged Turkey to shut it to stop fighters. It was only when YPG/SDF was advancing that Turkey decided to do something. Here's @brett_mcgurk words:

Erdogan wanted an exclusion zone by the border. He didn't want to stop Daesh from taking Kobane, and all indications showed he would have tolerated it had it been successful. Turkey views the YPG as a greater threat to its national security than Daesh. It tolerated the latter.

This one of the reasons why I was against Azerbaijan in the Artsakh conflict. It's simply because Azerbaijan does not just want Artsakh but wants to deny Armenia its existence. It's not going to just stop at "reclaiming" one territory. This is not how it works.

If this is true, then this is the same negotiation strategy ("ultimatum") that Russia did with the YPG in Afrin prior to the Turkish invasion in 2018. Russia told the Afrin Civil Council to give up the area to the regime. When the ACC refused, Russia moved its MPs out of Afrin.

"We don't have a problem with Kurds, we only have a problem with PKK." Is the Turkish state's official narrative. Officials say it to try pretend they are not anti-Kurdish. Problem with the narrative is that it is clearly false. The Turkish state is fundamentally anti-Kurdish.

Turkey simply did not care that much about Daesh. It cared more about the YPG/SDF. It would rather use jihadi extremists that fight on Daesh's side if it meant the destruction of YPG/SDF. For the Turkish state, a daesh-AQ extremist north is better than YPG/SDF.

@SolFlos66 @emilynussbaum It shouldn't be an option to begin with. As an official elected to represent your constituency in government, the only text that one should swear on is the founding legal document that the government is based on. It represents a commitment to be bound to the law of the land.

James Jeffrey is the former US Special rep for Syria. He was the turkophile in the Trump admin that wanted to handover the northeast on a silver platter to the Erdogan regime. The fact that Ankara still recieves him after his tenure shows the dedication of Jeffrey to TR. FA

I could go on and talk about Turkey's relations with jihadi groups like Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham (AQ rebrand and on FTO list), but the point has been made. Turkey is a bad Coalition partner in the fight against terror and a direct threat to stability in the region.

Turkey's threats to invade Kobane should be taken seriously, and its actions should be blocked. Every operation it has done since 2016 has only worsened the north and unleashed untold suffering. Now, it wants to do that again. It wants to reverse years of work against terror.

Turkey's war against the PKK has always been a war against the Kurds. The PKK is a pretext the Turkish state uses to launch operations to counter Kurdish autonomy. The language used by the state paints the conflict as one over terrorism, when it is fundamentally one over rights.

Look at the territory that Turkey has taken since 2016 in Syria. Look at the resurgence of Daesh and other extremist elements in its areas. Turkey doesn't care about stopping these groups. US has conducted multiple ops and airstrikes in Turkish-held areas against Daesh and AQ.

Over 10, 000 fighters of the Syrian Democratic Forces ( #SDF ) gave their lives in the war against #ISIS . With the collapse of ISIS' proto-state, I reflect on the martyrs that died to destroy it. Here is my essay for @Jerusalem_Post . #twitterKurds #Syria -

"I want to talk about happy things, man!" You're the president of the United States of America. You're not a civilian. You're a country's leader. Someone is asking you about a situation that you are helping make worse. What a joke. Does not inspire confidence at all.

This is a clear sign that US lawmakers understand that the nature of US-TR bilateral relations have changed. There is now a slow shift away from Turkey and towards other potential partners in the region. I welcome this gradual shift away from Turkey.

Turkey has been threatening to renew operations in northeast Syria ever since Peace spring in 2019. It has been bombing areas like Ayn Issa, Kobanรช, etc. TR wants to dump millions of refugees in a "safe zone" (ethnic cleansing corridor) along its border. Seeking to destroy Rojava

Reminder: Just because a conflict may be asymetric in nature does not mean that the "weaker" or "smaller" party automatically deserves support. I can think of multiple expamples of terror organisations, whether it be AQ, Hamas or Taliban, that do not deserve support.

18 years ago today Saddam Hussein's statue in Baghdad's Firdos Square was toppled, bringing an end to his near 30 year reign of terror in Iraq. The statue's collapse symbolised the start of a new chapter, one that gave way to new opportunities for Iraqis to shape their own future

The Yazidi genocide marks another dark chapter in human history. Thousands of Yazidis were killed in 2014 by Daesh. While Thousands more women and girls were enslaved into sex slavery. It marks the 74th firman in the Yazidis history. It should not be forgot.

It is because at the end of the day it was never about Artsakh. It was instead about Armenians and the continued existence of Armenia as a state. The regime in Baku wants to disintegrate the Armenian homeland. Artsakh was just the beginning.

This is a tragedy. However, international media did not report when Kurds were thrown out of helicopters or when Kurdish farmers were killed in Turkish airstrikes. Intl media does not report a lot of this stuff. Treatment towards Kurds in Turkey is returning to the old days.

Reminder: The SDF did the bulk of the fighting against ISIS in Syria with the support of US-led Coalition. SDF sacrificed over thirteen thousand troops in the fighting. These included Kurdish, Syriac, Assyrian, Chaldean, Turkmen, Circassians and Arabs. All fighting together.

Guaido is the rightful constitutional interim leader of Venezuela. He has legitimacy, Maduro does not. A member on the foreign committee should know this. The fact that she deliberately continues to spread Maduro propaganda is indicative of her lack of knowledge. Shame on her.

This is unsurprising. Ankara is pushing Sweden and Finland to change their domestic laws to align with itss unjust laws regarding fighting "terrorism." Sweden is being asked to give disproportionately to Turkey. Turkey continues to hold it hostage and block it from joining NATO.

Erdogan claims that there are dozens of Kurdish mps in AKP and in Turkish parliament. This, I do not doubt. However, and to remind people, how many of those mps can openly state their love of Kurdistan or any expression of Kurdish identity? The answer: none.
