THE WORSE
NEWS OF 2018:
By Hugo
Adan. Dec 31 2018
Trump told Erdogan
in the Dec. 14 call, "OK, it's all yours. We are done."
[[ The
possible massacre of Syrian Kurdish was the worse news article in Dec.25-2018.
The worse even could be the RU-Turk deal to exchange Syrian territory to ‘avoid’
the crash in Manbij. We said yesterday that such a deal is entirely up to
Syrians. RU is not allowed to step on Syrian sovereignty to put above his oil
business with Turkey. That will be a betrayal to Syria and a clear consent to
the massacre of Kurdish people by Turks inside Syrian territory. We don’t
expect that from RU .. they did a wonderful work against the Saudi’ terrorists..
but it could happens as happened when RU abandoned to Cuban people after the
missile crisis.. If so, RU will lose the world sympathy they got so far. That
is why we demanded the immediate get out of Turks from Syria. The whole world will support Syrian expulsion of Turks from
their territory.. RU did his great job, Syrians are happy for that, they
will say Thanks & all they future is now in their
hands of Syrians. The whole world will be with them!. ]]

On Christmas Eve the White House announced in a statement
that President Trump is open to a "potential meeting in the future" with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
The statement noted Turkey's president had formally invited Trump to meet in
2019, though nothing specific or definite has been planned.
This comes after it was revealed that in a Dec. 14 phone
call between the two leaders Trump
said the US was "done" with Syria. Trump's
senior aides later revealed the decision for a "full" and
"immediate" pullout of the some 2000+ American military personnel
training and advising Kurdish-Arab SDF forces in north-east Syria was
made after the phone call, and curiously the U.S. State
Department approved the sale of $3.5 billion
in patriot missiles to Turkey the day after.
According to a senior administration official who spoke
to CNN, Trump told Erdogan, "OK, it's all yours. We are done," in reference to Syria. The president sought
assurances from Erdogan that Turkey would finish off remnant ISIS cells in
eastern Syria, per the CNN
report:
A senior White House official said
Erdogan gave Trump his "word"
that Turkey would finish off ISIS.
"In the call on Friday,
Erdogan said to the President, 'In fact, as your friend, I give you my word in this,'" the senior White House
official said.
While giving a speech last Friday Erdogan revealed some of
the details of the call, saying,
"During a conversation I had with Mr. Trump — he said 'ISIS,
can you clear ISIS from this area?'" Erdogan recalled
further: "We did it before, and we can again as long as we have
logistic support from you... And so they began pulling out." Erdogan
added: "Within the framework of the phone call we had with Mr. Trump,
we have started preparing plans for operations to clear the ISIS elements still
within Syria."
Trump, for his part, subsequently confirmed in a weekend
tweet: "I just had a long and productive call
with President Erdogan of Turkey. We discussed ISIS, our mutual
involvement in Syria, & the slow & highly coordinated pullout of U.S.
troops from the area. After many years they are coming home. We also discussed
heavily expanded Trade."
Meanwhile a major Turkish Army and Turkish-backed rebel assault on the key Syrian
Kurdish stronghold of Manbij is imminent. Turkey has been
reported over the past days to be mustering large forces, including hundreds of
vehicles and troops surrounding the northwestern Syrian town, around Manbij.

Turkey has long demanded US advisers to withdraw and to
clear the town of armed Syrian Kurdish groups, specifically the YPG, which
forms the core of the US-backed SDF but which Ankara sees as an extension of
the outlawed terror group, the PKK.
Bloomberg described the military build-up, filmed by
Turkish state media, as
follows:
The convoy of around 200 vehicles,
including howitzers, armored personnel carriers and artillery, advanced to
reinforce the military’s presence in areas close to Manbij, TRT said on Sunday.
They were joined by forces of the Free Syrian Army, which has backed Turkish
offensives against Syrian Kurdish militants, state-run Anadolu Agency said
Monday.
However, as a potential bloodbath is set to ensue, on
Tuesday morning Turkey's foreign minister announced
the United States has agreed to complete a previously discussed "roadmap" for
the removal of all Kurdish militia fighters from the Northern Syrian
town before American forces clear out.
Though the US side has yet to confirm Turkey's latest
claims, it appears the handover of Manbij to Turkey has begun following prior
threats from Erdogan to "cleanse" the region of all Kurdish
resistance.
