And US believes it's accurate, according to senior Administration official. Official says US is waiting to see what Turkey does inside the safe-zone. "If Turks can find any [Syrian Kurdish fighters] inside the safe zone, they’ll either let us know, or they will shoot them."

But Senior Administration Official provides a stark warning to Turkey if it tries to expand beyond negotiated safe-zone: "Any Turkish kinetic operation that moves forward ... will lead to us to conclude the Turks have violated our agreement, with inevitable sanctions that follow"

... "Halt means halt. If they violate the agreement, we no longer have an agreement to lift sanctions or even freeze sanctions," Senior Administration official warns #Turkey.

United States runs away and is out out.

Russia marches in.

So much winning.

A senior administration official said that the US is "in the process of preparing" to lift sanctions on #Turkey if the terms of the agreement are met.

“When exactly we’ll do that after 1500, I don’t know, but that is a commitment that we will live up to," they said.

As per the memorandum of understanding between Russia and Turkey, YPG is to be removed from Syria's Manbij and Tel Rifaat.

And know Russia, will be patrolling along the border of a NATO ally. Dumb.

*now

Erdogan and Putin agree to create 'safe zone' along Turkish border in Syria

[link to www.middleeasteye.net (secure)]

Not sure what this means in this context:

Syria’s Assad vows support for Kurds resisting Turkish assault — RT Newsline

[link to www.rt.com (secure)]

I don't think this whole thing is completely resolved just yet.

Thanks for the pin.

It’s still fluid and constantly changing....
Let the morons have it....
Syrian army seems ok with this invasion....
Their problem.

I wasn't suggesting otherwise at this point.


Imo, it would be STUPID to try to go back in OR TO STAY in Northeastern Syria, but...

this a great TRUMP achievement.

Ummm...this was Erdogan and Putin.

Trump just got us out of the way after the Turks told us to get the fuck out.


That is reality.

Without Trump telling the DC establishment to go to hell, this would never have happened.

Well, all I can say is he was courageous in a way because he will pay a political price.

He will be said to have made the US look week before Turkey and Russia.

So Trump gave up joint U.S.-Turkey patrols so we could see joint Russia-Turkey patrols on the border of NATO ally? #facepalm

NATO member and Russia to have Joint Patrols and kill any NATO allies > WTF? So if turkey oversteps, we will now not just have to fight Turkey but Russia too.

So much Winning!

We have a NATO member siding with our arch enemy, and we have given up our positions, along our border for Russia to pile up it military into the zone. Undobtedly they will deploy air defences, radar, jammers and EWAR systems, missile launchers., ect.

Winning so much it hurts. Genius. *sarc
