Russian warning pauses Turkish Syria operation. US pullback from E. Syria, too, opens door to Iran
The Syrian army’s arrival at embattled Kurdish towns in the north east, backed by Russian threats, seemingly halted the Turkish army’s advance. On Tuesday, Oct. 15, only minor isolated incidents were visible. Although Turkish President Recep Erdogan boasted on Monday, Day 6, “We will not back down,” he also said, “We are coordinating with the Russians,” and praised their “positive approach.”
For now, therefore, the Turkish army looks like sidestepping direct clashes with the Syrian army, which has meanwhile entered Manbij and prevented the Turkish army from moving in. Kurdish forces remain in control there, as well as in the towns of Tal Abyad and Ras al Ayn, which Turkish sources on Monday claimed had fallen.
On Tuesday morning, it looked as though the Turkish president had paused for reflection before deciding if and how to proceed with his operation, in the light of the Russia/Syrian threat to his forces. He needs to calculate how far he can go against the Syrian army without incurring Russian military intervention. He understands that President Vladimir Putin will not put up with an artillery attack on Russian forces like the one “mistakenly” directed against US troops at the outset of the Turkish drive into northeast Syria last week.
President Donald Trump has meanwhile followed up on his order to pull 1,000 US troops out of northern Syria with a second order for their withdrawal from the eastern regions alongside the Syrian-Iraqi border. He said those troops would remain in the Middle East and keep watch on the Syrian arena from a distance. In a phone call to Erdogan, Trump demanded an immediate truce in the hostilities in northern Syria, as US sanctions were announced by the Treasury in Washington on Turkey’s war leaders, the defense and energy ministries as well as ministers of defense, energy and interior. Trump also raised by 50pc the tariffs on imported Turkish steel and halted negotiations for a $100bn trade agreement.
The US president has delayed, but never wavered from, his resolve to pull the US military presence out of Syria. In July 2018, he withdrew US support from Syrian insurgent groups in southern Syria and handed control of their regions to Russian and Syrian forces. Israel collaborated with Trump’s moves by lifting its control of the areas adjoining the Golan and allowing them to revert to the Assad regime along with the Syrian rebel groups with whom Israel had collaborated during the war.
Trump’s actions in October 2019, for transferring control of northern and eastern Syria to Russian-backed Syrian government forces, are therefore part of the same consistent policy.
Early Tuesday, US sources in Washington revealed that US forces would remain at one last Syrian location, the large garrison at Al Tanf which commands the key intersection of the Syrian, Jordanian and Iraqi borders.
From Israel’s perspective, the Trump administration’s decision to pull back from eastern Syrian positions – from which US forces were able to keep the Iranian presence tied down to one place, Abu Kamal – opens most of the Syrian-Iraqi border for Iran, Hizballah and the pro-Iranian Iraqi Shiite militias, which are already in control of the Iraqi side of the border, to gain free passage into Syria..
Trump cannot trump things if he keep this up.
Also what is he going to do with the bombs in Turkey? It is time to remove them before the bad turkeys grab them!!

Gobble de gook… That Name Alone Defines Your Message Does It Not?!
President Trump has already announced the removal of the US nukes from the Incirlik airbase in Turkey when Turkey decided to cut off electrical power to the airbase due to a so-called 2016 coup attempt against Erdogan was announced. People seem to forget this shenanigan by Turkey’s newest muzzie dictator, maybe the US kept our nukes there or not, trying to keep Turkey in NATO. Trying to grab US nukes would be a terrible mistake for Turkey with this ending up multiple mushroom clouds over what was Incirlik airbase.
this nuclears bomb cannot activated withoout enter some codes, turkey if want easly obtain from pakistan, and buy from israil. money important for israil
Do you actually think that Israel would sell codes for nukes so that they could be used against Israel?
Just detonate them in place
Just another fine day in the Middle East…………………on the horizon!
Davefromorange… Why America Is right To Leave Mideast with Exceptions to Israel, Arabia & Allies willing to Support the Protection of their own People, Cultures & Nations. Other Places No Longer America Problem!
@Albert. Your grammar is shocking, Barbara. The rule is for caps on the first word of a sentence , except for proper nouns.
Albert seems using his native German grammar that requires subject capitalized. Hande hoch, Albert
Do you actually think that Israel would sell codes for nukes so that they could be used against Israel?
at least the f.cking moron aka Donald Trump has one good attribute
he does not want new war, he deserves peace nobel award
the American should die for israrl or saudi
America first
Agreed Trump is not interested in these pointless wars, if it was not for all the false flag Chemical Attacks run via the Zionist controled Deep State White Helmets we would have been out of Syria and probably Iraq a long time ago. Back then when ever Trump looked to withdraw troops we had one of these fake Chemical Attacks to such us right back in. The only country that benefited was our “Special Friend” in the Middle East. So its wonderful to finally see America getting out and no surprise that we now have the Zionist wailing and gnashing of teeth here and in America.

Would any American in their right mind want to die for the “Palestinian Authority” ?????
Turkey takes hostage on 50 nuckes in incirclik
If Israel is allowed to have nuclear weapons then so should the other nations in the region including Egypt, Turkey, Iran. However if we want a nuclear free Middle East then all these weapons need to go including the American weapons in Turkey and the Israeli nuclear weapons program needs to be eradicated.
We also need the people, the companies and countries that enabled the Israeli Nuclear Program to be named and held to account for this illegal nuclear weapons program to exist since the 1960’s. American has Laws that are not been enforced at this time against Israel. We need a complete overhaul and criminal charges against those individuals who have not enforced the laws that they were required to enforce.
As for the American nuclear weapons in Turkey and Europe America needs to remove them all.
As most governments in the world practice various levels of deception, to expect true removal or destruction of nuclear weapons is extremely unrealistic. Pandora’s Box was opened and will not be sealed-up until Jesus the Christ returns to rule over Earth with King David & the Apostles ruling over the whole house of Israel. Many of the Elect will also serve as rulers and priests of the rest of humanity under the iron rod leadership of Jesus. Peace.
So silly questions Texas but how does “Jesus come back”? Ive heard some Christian say on a Cloud which sounds like a flying machine to me.
Jews we elect our Messiah so everything is nice and logically clear. But unless this is meant to be an allegory it seems very strange which is why I ask. Any of you Christians have a nice clear answer?
So the people elected moses? I don’t think so some how.
The Jewish Messiah is quite different from the Christian Messiah the Christ. The holiest Jewish book is not the Torah but the Babylon Talmud?.
http://www.texemarrs.com/072017/jewish_messiah_antichrist.htm
Respectfully submitted to all hands: 100’s of lines in the Old Testament like Isaiah (Chapter 53 for example) and very well described in Daniel 70 weeks of years regarding specific time & place, Messiah “cut off” etc. The Lamb without blemish came and was sacrificed in Jerusalem without a bone broken.….and the Jews in the contemporary power structure disregarded their own prophecies.
Executed with criminals and interred in a rich man’s tomb. Jackie: do your own forensics research. David’s son Absalom hung on a tree and died. God’s son Jesus Christ likewise hung on a tree. His tomb was empty after 3 days. Christ comes back in a cloud (of believers) believe it or don’t.
Since Jesus Dies As A Jewish Religion Worshiper I Expect Jesus Will Return As A Jew & Not As Christian Worshiping his own Image Of The Cross? According to Paul’s Roman, Judaism Was meant for Jews & Gentiles! So, Jesus Will Covert All Christians to become Jewish Culture Citizens As G-d promised Making Them Many Sands On The Beach As Promised.
Do you mean this? Wait and see..

“And there will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and on the earth distress of nations in perplexity because of the roaring of the sea and the waves, people fainting with fear and with foreboding of what is coming on the world. For the powers of the heavens will be shaken. And then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. Now when these things begin to take place, straighten up and raise your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.”
Thank you guys for your reply ?. I admit that I still dont quite understand it sadly. But i think I’ll meet up with Jews for Jesus to find out more. I’m very happy with Reformed Judaism but its always good to understand what other faiths believe and why.
Shalom
” under the iron rod leadership of Jesus. Peace.”
@TexasDave,
Even you should see the contradiction between the word “Peace” and “iron rod leadership of Jesus”.
As I’ve said before in previous posts, when the actual time comes when everything is to be fulfilled, we’re all get to see who actually does it.
Then, we can all say……………………peace.
This person is a non-believer in Jesus the Christ as given to us in his word, the Holy Bible.
Non-believers always want to find contradictions in the Holy Bible. Limited human understanding makes contradictions seem abundant.
When non-believers are taking that knee before Jesus, there will be a sudden rush of understanding and the unfortunate expectation of their eternal destiny.
Peace.
@at ?️?Nuclear Free Middle East
Da, da, tovarishch Serghei!
Good to maximus, ocheni harosho.
Instead “nuclear” you “nucular” must say.
Miciurin… I prefer to be “Secular”? I am already “Glowing” too much!
Here is the difference that you don’t seem to understand. Just as with a child you dont allow the angry child to have pointy objects, knowing he is so led with his foolish anger to hurt someone. That is how most all in the ME are except for Israel, they seem the only mature thinking and rational group. If Israel did not have nukes by now the anger of most of ME would have caused them to do something stupid, but their fear of being nuked prevents it.
NuclearFreeMidEast… Agree, Provide All Nations With Nukes & That Way They Will Understand Nukes Can’t Be Used Unless The Mideast Want To Destroy Themselves? /give Them To ISIS To Be Used On Iran First!
You come across as a simple minded fool.
What we need is a WORLD FREE OF NUCLEAR WEAPONS.
S-A… Tell That to Iran & Pakistan! Both Threaten to Use Them All The Time Do They Not?
Israel, the only civilized country, is surrounded by brutal, murdering, barbaric enemies. Only civilized democracies should have nuclear weapons to protect themselves from “the living dead”!
to nucular fee the no name read history france built the reactor israel does not threaten its neighbors will aniilation only n korea and iran does israel will only use the nukes in the event of a doomsday situation as russia the US france england india not iran stupid
Turkey is achieving all its stated strategic goals with the Syrian Army arriving. That is to ensure that the PKK and their affiliates do not have a safe haven to cause issues for Turkey, the return of the millions of Syrian refugees in Turkey and to ensure that Syrian does not get broken up. Which i imagine from a Turkish perspective would really mean to independent Kurdish State.
So Turkey ends up a big winner here as it can now pull back its forces and declare mission accomplished and avoid sanctions and any ongoing international condemnation. So potentially a nice piece of theater to solidify the Syrian State and American, Syria, Turkey and Russia all end up with a win win outcome.

The end of Erdogan, or does he defy Putin and Trump as the true leader of the calufate and go all in? I say he finds another way as, he is about to be stripped naked in front of the jihadis and forced to bend the knee
Interestingly, the 30 km wide Turkish safe zone in Syria corresponds to a safe zone against Hezbollah up to the Litani river.
In the Bible, in Joshua 19:29, Tyre is referred to as a “strong city,” and was allotted to the Tribe of Asher.
Indeed, the door is opened for Iran, Hizballah and the pro-Iranian Iraqi Shiite militias… https://raptureandendtimes.com/2019/10/12/rapture-2019-the-rescue-and-the-wrath/

This is all very positive for Syria as its going to bring about a rapid end to the war. These area’s also contain most of the oil on Syria and there return to Damascus will provide the funds necessary to start rebuilding the country. Its a solid win for America, Russia, Iran and Turkey.
The only loser here are the Zionist expansion plans which are dependent on the Balkanization of Syria. Even Israeli in the longer term should benefit by having a stable Syrian government and growing Syrian economy to trade with. So all in all this all looking very positive at this stage.
Rivka… Zionists Protected Jewish Culture Existence & Kurds Need The Same Organization To Protect Them In Iran, Turkey, Iraq, & Syria That Have Subjected Them To Attacks. Nice Try!
Many perceive Zionism and the establishment of the State of Israel as an anti-messianic act, conceived and born from sin. Can you think of a greater destruction of Jewish Culture?
Has Jewish Culture disappeared in South America, South Africa, America, Australia? Obviously not, your entire question is prejudiced and based on a flawed belief that without Zionism the Jewish Culture would come to a end. Has not the diaspora shown this to false and actually the Jewish Culture has been enriched because of the diaspora?
?Rivka… Perception Is Not Absolute & The Many Have Been Misled Many Times In History So Sins Of Perception Is On Them, Not Jewish Culture! Zionism Led to The Reestablishment Of Israel & Protection Os Jewish culture That Existed For 5780 Years & 2000 Years Without That Protection Are Facts Not Flawed Myths & Perceptions You Advocate As Proof, But Does Exists? Kisses On Rivka’s Factual Misses!
Perception is involved in every aspect of our lives as we make decisions and judgments based on what we experience. Your view of the world is obviously biased based on your perception that Jews need the protection of the Jewish State. This is a fear based view of the world. My suspicion is that you have been raised in Israel or in some other way traumatized. This trauma is affecting your perception of the world around you. My advice would be to get help and ideally leave the environment that is causing you this pain. Trauma Release Exercises (TRE) are very simple and effective physical exercise that you can do to release this trauma and any other stress that you may have. I’m sure that you will have many therapists who can help you in Israel. I was not raised in Israel and have not been molded via the system to have this fear of other cultures and a belief that we must separate ourselves to be safe. So yes my view of the world is going to be quite different. That said cultural exchange has always and will always enhance culturals. Take cuisine as a simple example, how much better is the cuisine in Israel due to the appropriation from other cultures? Jewish culture has benefited from all cultural interactions and now via Israel is developing another separate Jewish community and hence culture to what exists in other Jewish communities in other parts of the world.
?Rivka… Jewish Culture Was A Contributor To Other Global Nations, Cultures & People Since 5780 Years. As Well As, Survived Diasporas, Genocide, & Forced Conversions But Stood Steady For 2000 Years! Since 1948 Zionism Accomplished That Israel Return To Nations With & Within The Jewish Culture! The Jewish Culture Is Adapatable to All Nations On Earth Seeking Self-Existence, Life & Freedoms Concepts To Be Shared By All Nations!
They hate to hear that the Zionist narrative is false
Golda… Zionism is the Nationalist Movement of the Jewish People that Espouses the Re-Establishment of & support for a Jewish State in the Territory Defined as the Historic Land of Israel. Is A Reality!
Yes it is Barbara and no one has a issue with that. What people have a issue with is its racist, fascist, Nazi like behavior. People do mot hate the Jewish people we have a problem with its behaviour.
GOLDA, WORTHLESS SHARMOUTA, ZIONISM IS REAL AND LIVES FOREVER. GARBAGE LIKE YOU ARE A SPEC OF FECES THAT WILL BLOW AWAY SOON.
Looks like there is definitely some preplanned coordination taking place between the various parties. To much coincidence so i wonder if this is Trump’s way of giving the finger to the Zionist Deep State Swamp.

Tommy… Keep Wondering You Are Good At That President Trump Supports Nations & Cultures That Defend Themselves With Free Democratic Governments! Sanctions Only On Iran, Russia & Turkey Now!
Tommy is a MORONIC Russian Troll. He references Veterans Newsletter which is anti-semitic Journal put out by RT (Russian) Network.
Just because a news site publishes information that can be critical of Israel does not mean that it is antisemitic ?Jim?. Granted thats is sadly what the lastest definition that Zionist is pushing (any criticism of jews or Israeli is now antisemitism). The Western
media
of cause does follow this rule and everyone is so much the poor for it. Censorship does not fix problems it hides them, allows them to fester and become worse.
BTW I’m not Russian lol but i guess its the best you can do to try and taint facts and discourse which is not supportive of your world view as been part of the BS Russian Election Hacking plot that the Jewish Leadership in the Democratic party cooked up to undermine the Trump Presidency. So go check out VT is a really good site
Tommy, are you aware of Vodka Anonymous in Moscow?
It does good to lost should, you should try a visit, seriously!
SURE TOMMYSKI I WILL CHECK THIS ANTI-SEMITIC SITE AND THE OTHER ON MINT PUT OUT BY RT. NOW GO BACK TO DRINKING YOUR 5 RUBLES VODKA AND PLAYING WITH YOUR FAVORITE MALE YAK’S TESTICLES.
Censorship is the validity of truth
@Jim: Would you Grow Up already. Everyone to you is a Russian Troll. I guess what you really are, if you think of this for everyone. And Stop the PROFANITY!!!
@jim:do not stop and keep on the good work of telling the truth
If your against Iran. Then your the anti semite. Name the three sons of Shem… And Elam is still named that place place!/region in Iran… Jews are mostly not at all Semites. The Armenians, Iranians and Hebrews from Iraq. Which where enslaved by the Jews. Before God set them free are the Semites. The jews had there own language. And where I grafted into the remnant of Judah. The jews are not the original people… At all. If anything. The land will go through another holocaust and most of the tribes are not Jewish even today will return to the land… Because there is a 700 year gap between Jews and the true Israeli tribes. The Jews rebuilt the first temple to make it the second temple… Only from that point where they elected for a short while… Well guess what. Israel is not to be a Jewish state. Read about the third temple. The vast majority of the temple is designated for non Jewish people…
Don’t be paranoid Tommy, Zionist don’t run American deep State, there are many groups in there influencing American politics, Wich is allowed in your system.
DONALD strikes again and shows that when he follows his instincts and ignores the Deep State Swamp he gets good results. America is going to be so much better off once we focus on rebuilding America and staying out of foreign entanglements as our founding fathers advised us. We need to drain the Swamp and close the borders and focus on trade. The world needs to fix its own problems.
Elvira… All Cultures & People Have A Problem With Nazi, Racists, & Hateful Behavior On Anyone As Far As I Am Concern Why WWII Was Fought Over Such Behavior! The Jewish Culture Does Not Approve of That Behavior Either Since Were Victims Of That Throughout History & Stands Against It Today & Future!
But unfortunately Jews try to take over countries with there banking, media, political influence. Over non Jewish nations. If the majority of a country is non Jewish. Then the countries parliamentry system should be overwhelming non Jewish too… Just look at America. Congress. Run by Jews… Disaster.
One day, probably not that soon though Debka will print something with some actual facts when it comes to who is actually doing the INVADING. The invaders are the Syrian National Army supported by The Turkish Army.. Debka is trying to make out that it’s the Turkish Army doing the fighting well they are very wrong.. Again! Those M60 Patton Tanks that are rolling around behind the SNA well they’re the same M60 Patton Tanks that sat on a hill directly across the Turkish border when Kobani was being attacked by Daesh for months on end back in 2014 and did absolutely nothing.. If you think they will be doing anything different this time well you’re deluded! Check out what happened at Al Bab if you think i’m making this up? The Turks can’t rely on the SNA to give their Tanks infantry support, it’s that simple.
This is a very dangerous time for Israel. We have Iran and Russia already in Syria. If Turkey stays and joins rhe Syrian government in its fight against ISIS i would not be surprised to find Turkish troops stationed on our borders. Erdogan hates Israel and could very easily end up been a far bigger threat than the Iranians.
Turkey is a part of NATO so i cant ever see NATO attacking Israel. Erdogan may be outspoken but Turkey has been a good NATO member for almost 70 years.
David… There Are 60,000 Jewish Sephardi Jews are 96% of Turkey’s Jewish population, the rest are Ashkenazim, Italian, & Romaniote Jewish Community of Constantinopolitan Karaites! All are a Big Segment of Turkish Economy.
@ Ari. Correct. Read Ezekiel 38 and 39. The time is now very close.
Ezekiel 39 Jews do not eat rhe Flesh of Man so i have a real problem with these verses 17-19. Maybe a long long time ago but its never going to happen now.
So i have to question if this writing by man or G-d. The enemy is also never going to attack us with spears so the idea that we will use these spears for firewood for a long long time raised questions. This has to be allegorical and if so its not speaking of real world events.
So please correct me if I am wrong.
God allows the nation of Turkey (Gomer and Togarmah) to build up a large conventional army and to prepare themselves for battle with Israel. They will train intensely for various type of military operations. This will be a very large army of well equipped and well trained soldiers and support troops. They will have many types of weapons to attack Israel with.
this will true, and mention about russia will not mıscow east of russia mostly turkish populated areas and pakistan malaysia, indonise will join us. target will china not israil as a turk jews never a target for us. not too much important, israil only be target if choice wrong side
SPIDER… Provide 200 Anti-Tank Javelins & There Won’t Be anymore Turkish Tanks. The Failure of EU, NATO, & America was not providing the Javelins & Other Modern Weapons to separate From Iraq, Iran, Turkey & Syria!
Russia Record On Wars Not Good! Lost Crimea War, Russia-Japanese War, WWI Withdrew, Finland-USSR Stalemate, WWII Won With Allies Support, Iran Withdraw, Korea Stalemate, Cuba Missile Backdown, Siberia-Sino Stalemate, Egypt Booted USSR Out, Afghanistan Retreat, USSR Break Up! Not A Record of Wins! Good Luck, Syria, turkey & Iran Joining Them!
It’s only a matter of time, sooner or later someone somewhere within the Middle East will implode a nuclear device without mercy.
iI’s required by all three religious groups ie Muslim, Jewish & Christian to fulfil “messianic” prophecies. Without full on chaos, any future revealing of a messiah will null and void these belief systems.
As ancient writings record …
“when you hear of peace peace peace ….peace will never come”
Maybe a Nuclear Explosion In a Major City would Wake Up the Region like Sodom Gomorrah did in the Torah & Old Testament leaving Atomic Ashes To in Mecca, Jerusalem, Istanbul, Tehran, Baghdad, or Damascus. Sometimes a Tragedy brings People, Religions, & Cultures Together or Tears Them Apart Beyond the Point of Return! Jihadists, Terrorists, and Freedom Fighters Won’t Have Remains Under Such Explosions!
The media revealed the secret of the “Russian submarine”, which allegedly was discovered in Sweden in 2014. The secret is revealed: the Swedes took a broken buoy for a Russian submarine

Off topic, but if you want to watch a really good movie and have access to Netflix watch Red Sea Diving Resort.
I watched it this week and really enjoyed it. Its meant to be based on actual events and if even 50% is based on actual events then the IDF and Mossad should be very proud of their accomplishments. It a was very gutsy undertaking which was done for all the right reasons. I was very impressed.
SURE TOMMYSKI. NOW YOU DO MOVIE REVIEWS FOR US?
Actually Tommy and Rivka initially had it pretty close. Its all orchestrated.
US forces, with their limited presence, were basically acting as a deterrent peace keeping force….. This role became obsolete, once Turkish forces started moving…. Without major US ground forces , it was the only thing to do.
