    No, I’m not surprised.

    But I do wonder what the comments will be when the MSM find out the US army is actively assisting Putin and Assad in establishing themselves in northern Syria.

    US military helps Russia establish itself in Manbij

    A stunning development in the key northern Syrian city of Manbij — the Pentagon has confirmed a planned handover to Russian military forces is underway amid a Turkish military assault on the region. This also hours after President Trump tweeted that Assad “wants naturally to protect the Kurds” and that the problem should be left to local powers.

    Late Monday the main US base in Manbij was filmed empty of US forces, and American convoys were also spotted hastily pulling out of the city as Syrian national forces entered, following Sunday’s historic deal between the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and the Assad government. Newsweek reports the developments follows:

    The U.S. military has begun a hasty exit from Syria’s northern city of Manbij, and is set to help Russia establish itself there amid a Turkish attempt to defeat Kurdish-led, Pentagon-backed fighters at the strategic location, Newsweek has learned.

    As the Syrian national flag went up over multiple previously US-backed SDF towns on Monday, it was as yet unclear what Russia’s role in all this would be. Through Monday there were also widespread rumors that Russian jets were circling over key border posts as Turkish forces shelled Kurdish positions below.

    The Newsweek report suggests, as we predicted, the blistering fast developments clearly are being driven by significant Russian deal-making among all parties, surprisingly including the US, apparently:

    A senior Pentagon official told Newsweek that U.S. personnel, “having been in the area for longer, has been assisting the Russian forces to navigate through previously unsafe areas quickly.”

    Perhaps Bolton IS the new whistleblower: “Bolton called Ukrainian investigation effort a ‘drug deal,’ witness tells Congress.”

    Therefore, Trump simply fires everyone in the NSC that ever worked with Bolton. …And we wonder what he lets these guys into office for. So easy a cave man could do it, which is fortunate, because… But if a cave man is outsmarting them, we can only IMAGINE how dumb the Deep State and Intelligentsia are. And this is after having Bolton get Iran to the negotiating table and the hilarity of banishing him to Mongolia while the adults talk.

    “Trump Tells Turkey to Stop Its Syria Invasion (R.)”

    Just like Iran and NoKo, scare the pants off Kurdistan and get them to settle down. The U.S. obviously can’t go in and fight the Kurds, our sole (official) ally and only place that actually fought ISIS. At the same time, we’re the ones who armed them and now they’re a threat to every nation in the area. So we send Turkey in and tell them if they want it to end, stand down. I can’t imagine how hard it is, giving up the 100-year chance to get a Kurdish state, but Turkey WILL destroy them, and happily. Take the half or lose the whole, it’s the path history will approve.

    “women and children linked to IS”

    They were slaves of ISIS? “Linked” is when they don’t want to tell you because they’re lying.

    “Bernie Wants You to Own More of the Means of Production (Jac.)”

    Yay! Just because it’s failed every time it’s been tried and has killed more people than smallpox is no reason not to try Socialism again! Did you see the ‘outWoke” article on him making a 99% tax rate for billionaires? Sure, because having never held a job in his life, he has no concept of liquid assets and standing assets.

    Bezos owns $101B, illiquid assets. He now needs to trade $100B of standing assets into liquid assets (cash), unless the gov’t just wants to confiscate and run Amazon (which the CIA already does but nevermind). So there are a loose $100 Billion in cash hanging out in Joe Plumber’s bank account to BUY that $100 bil? Nope. The very ATTEMPT would crash BOTH Amazon, AND the U.S. banking system, which would freeze up in liquidity shortage instead. Or take the family farm: $10M, a real fortune! Now you need to sell, I dunno, $3Million in probate taxes. So what do you plan to sell? The house, the combine, or the grain elevators? And you may “own” $10M on paper but you have a NEGATIVE $200,000 on the bank books. And what do you do next year? No land, no combines, no storage, because to pay taxes you already sold them to Joe Suburb who wouldn’t know a harvester from a spanner.

    This is why Socialists die by the millions, with Bernie at the forefront. #Holodormir Yay! I vote certain death!

    “…banning the Chinese vendor would add years of delays and billions of dollars in costs to launching 5G networks.”

    Great, because so far I have no idea whatsoever why anyone would want or need 5G. It’s sure not for us, the customers. The only advantage it has is panopticon surveillance of reporters and rabble rousers. Ask Hong Kong. Ban it for 20 years until they can explain what it does and why anyone would need it, because so far their reasons are the biggest pile of steaming b——t I’ve seen.

    “James Comey Is Swimming In Cash (BI)”

    Just like they back-fill and channel money from Lynn D to Wexner to Epstein to Gates to MIT. So it’s easy to tell which side people are on. Yale and WaPo work for the CIA/FBI in Matt Taibbi’s “Permanent Coup”. Not that the citizens of District 12 didn’t know who lives in Panem and who gets the tribute, and who gets starved and murdered.

    “Ghislaine Maxwell’s Open Secret (Webb)”

    Speaking of who’s in and who’s out, a day after we find Bill Gates is a close, personal friend of post-arrest Epstein, somehow wife of CNN’s Zucker is ALSO best friends with Ghislaine Maxwell! Not that tight ties with international rape-and-pedophilia ring would affect his news coverage or anything, you know, as revealed yesterday by Veritas. Not like he and his wife would lose their fortune and go to jail if Trump isn’t impeached. Nope! OMB! He’s the only bad man in the whoooooooooooooooole country. Not any Miami or Ohio sheriffs who ignore 911 rape calls if they’re from Jeffie’s estate! Spare me.

    I have no idea whatsoever why anyone would want or need 5G.

    I think the purpose of 5G is so people can watch their lives while they live it. That would close the circle.

    The whole thing was coordinated between Trump and Putin from the start. The Kurds were not left alone to be massacred. But Trump did signal he wanted to bring US troops home. How did they pull if off with all the whistleblowers listening in?

    Russian troops patrol zone between Syrian, Turkish troops

    Russia has said it will not allow clashes between Turkish and Syrian forces, as Turkey’s military offensive in northern Syria continues.

    Comey may have lost a roughly $170,000 annual salary as FBI director, but now he earns as much in a single speaking engagement.

    Has he set up a “Foundation” yet?

    And slow brain-body destruction resulting in more compliant, less long-lived, more medical-racket-dependent deplorables to feed upon.

    Trump and Putin decided privately to beat them at their own game by publicly communicating in opposite-speak. Well done.

    Trio Wins Economics Nobel For Science-Based Poverty Fight

    Nobel Prizes are like MacArthur Genius grants. Controlled by the Sabbatean-Frankists and used as payoffs to the productively-entrained for being “smart people” who give the unsuspecting “hope”.

    SYRIA

    It has the feeling of moving towards an endpoint. Now the malignant presence of the US is diminishing, and hopefully disappearing, it is simplifying the conflict to only two groups.

    It is interesting that Erdogan is using the same terrorist organisations against the Kurds who were declared as heroes by the West whne they fought Assad. They have to be redefined now they are attacking Kurds. A little more reality entering the conflict.

    It is odd that the US persuaded the Kurds to remove their heavy artillery from the Turkish border, but then handed over a town to Syria! Was this a ploy to force the Kurds into joining with Assad against the Turks?

    Given the fighting abilities of the Kurds and the Syrian Army I would expect them to be able to push back the Turks to the border.

    One of Erdogan’s main aims is to get rid of the Syrian refugees, preferably to Syria but the EU is an option. It will be interesting to see the outcome.

    PS. ISIS kids – I read an article some time ago which described how these kids [as young as five] were armed with handguns and could kill everyone in a building within minutes.

    There is a lot of public bloviation by Trump, Erdogn and EU “leaders” about what is going on with the reset of forces in Northern Syria.
    I suspect, as Ilargi does, that it is staged for domestic audiences, and actual details a been pre-arranged with agreed limits.
    I suspect Russian diplomacy is in action.
