Neocon tears last week over the plight of the Kurds has turned to furious anger with news that yesterday a deal was inked between the Kurds and the Syrian government. Syrian Arab Army forces are rushing into formerly Kurd-held areas to stave off a Turk incursion into Syrian territory. The Kurd/Assad alliance is the end of “regime change” for Syria and the end of one of the dumbest US interventions in history. How long till US troops are fully vacated from their illegally-held posts inside Syria? On today’s Ron Paul Liberty Report:

The cities may go to Assad to stave off the Turkish invasion but the councils set up during the Rojava Revolution cannot be so easily dismantled. If the Kurds made a deal overseen by the notoriously federalist Russians, I suspect some degree of autonomy must be part of it. Regardless, this is good news. I’ve long argued that any alliance without the Kurds will be doomed. I see this as Assad reviving an old alliance with the PKK that only threats from Turkey dismantled in the first place. Now, American sanctioned Turkish aggression has brought them back together in a new alliance against western aggression. Good riddance.

They can certainly be disrupted with selective arrests (or just disappearings) if Syrian or Russian troops are given uncontested control of the streets.
I’ve been watching Jihadi Julian Röpcke’s tweets go from anti Turkish and “save the poor Kurds” to already supporting Turkey against the “YPG/Assad Regime alliance” in a matter of hours.
“Neocon tears last week over the plight of the Kurds has turned to furious anger with news that yesterday a deal was inked between the Kurds and the Syrian government.”
That is because the tears were never about the Kurds. The Kurds were the stalking horse for neocon ambitions in Syria. Those were ambitions to keep Syria wrecked, and to use its territory against Iran. They were in short all Israeli ambitions, like so much the neocons do. It is the “war for Israel” that they so vehemently deny whenever exposed.
