Moon of Alabama — Syria - Tillerson Announces Occupation Goals - Erdogan Makes Empty Threats

I have yet to read one analyst who believes that the U.S. administration can achieve any of the wishes it announced. It is a hapless policy of "doing something" which will fail when resistance on the ground will ramp up and the political costs of the occupation will become apparent. The YPK Kurds in the north-east, who agreed to their occupation, will be the ones who will have to to bear the wrath. All other parties involved in Syria will hold them responsible.

The fact that Obama, Hillary and Trump are and have been on the side of Al Qaeda in Syria does not seem to light up the brains of average Democrats or Republicans. Kinda like universal spying and the abolition of the 4th Amendment. Kinda like Obama installing real Nazis in Ukraine. ZZZZZZ.

McCain, Bidon, and Nuland stalked the Ukraine urging the violent protestors on to throw out an elected but pro Russia party and to install pro US party via a coup. Now imagine Russian politicians doing something like that in Mexico or Canada, what would the US, Europe, and the corporate media would have done?

This doesn't seem to light up in the brains of ordinary voters either.
