    Its important to remember with all of this historical revisionism taking place with Syria that the invasion by NATO ally Turkey would never have happed if the U.S. under the Obama administration would not have initiated the war against the people of Syria.

    Many in the U.S. embraced and still embrace the white supremacist idea that the white West has a right to intervene into the affairs of peoples anywhere on the planet because they are...well..white & bearers of civilization. Trump is no aberration he is norm - just more crude

    Easy guide for gaging if a Trump-related story is worth the hype: if the same pundits who deemed Russiagate & SDNY (remember them?) stories as "bombshells" or "The Beginning of the End" are doing the same thing today, then it's not worth the hype, and weakening a real Resistance.

    Gotta say I like this description of Mikhail Gorbachev: “Gorbachev had no leadership and decision-making abilities. Gorbachev was weak. Gorbachev hadn’t the foggiest idea of the implications of his actions. He still doesn’t understand them today.”

    So Ellen DeGeneres is excoriated for hanging out with Bush because he is a war criminal - which he is - but its alright to hang out with Obama who is also a war criminal? Someone who understands the Western mind please explain that one to me.

    To the Syrian Kurds, I say this: Where are your American and British ‘allies’ now? I warned you before and after Afrin that Washington and London would abandon you and leave you to the mercy of Ankara if their strategic relationship with the Turks required this.
