Syrian President Bashar al-Assad says the Damascus government will respond through all legitimate means available to the ongoing ground offensive by Turkish soldiers and allied Takfiri militants against Kurdish forces in the northern part of the war-battered Arab country.
During a meeting with visiting Iraqi National Security Advisor Falih al-Fayyadh in Damascus on Thursday, Assad said foreign schemes in the Middle East region have been foiled throughout history, and the Turkish criminal aggression, launched by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s administration, on Syria falls within such plots.
“No matter what false slogans could be made up for the Turkish offensive, it is a flagrant invasion and aggression. Syria has frequently hit (Turkish-backed) proxies and terrorists in more than one place. Syria will respond to the assault and confront it anywhere within the Syrian territory through all legitimate means available,” the Syrian leader said.
Fayyadh, for his part, conveyed Iraqi Prime Minister Adel Abdul-Mahdi’s message, which focused on further expansion of bilateral ties between the two countries in various areas of interest, particularly with regard to combating terrorism and border security in light of the recent developments, economic cooperation and re-opening of border crossings.
The meeting was also attended by Syrian Ambassador to Iraq Sattam al-Dandah.
Assad's remarks came after an unknown source in the Syrian Foreign Ministry earlier on Thursday strongly condemned the ongoing ground offensive by Turkish forces and their allied militants against Kurdish regions of the country.
The source said, “This treacherous Turkish aggression is the outcome of the expansionist ambitions and illusions of Erdogan’s regime, and it affirms that the regime is classified among terrorist groups to which it has provided all forms of support. The offensive deals a heavy blow to the efforts aimed at finding a solution to the crisis in Syria. It makes, therefore, the Turkish regime lose its position as a guarantor of the Astana peace process as its aggression completely contradicts the principles and decisions of the process.”

My thoughts:
Question: Is this the end? It's highly unlikely. Russia wants the real estate and the resources. The Kurd's will step up - they just have to - they need a new game plan and a partner they can trust. They will re-organize their game plan and look for alias that they can trust to be there for them. The US can no longer be counted on - after this fiasco. Russia & North Korea, Iran and ISIS will not stop until they get their ass beaten so badly they won't be able to walk and chew gum any longer.
Currently - They no longer fear the US. Put a little pressure them and they will back off - seems to be the word of the day.
If we ever get into this position again - we had better get in it to win - not to a stalemate and running away with our tails between our legs. If we are going to fight we must fight to win or don't get into it at all.
Assad is a Dog and a suck-ass to Putin. These two slobs are perverted with a mindset that they will control the world. Believe me when they've accomplished their task - Putin will knock off Assad for full control - he just doesn't realize it yet. This is far from being over. It's going to get real messy - in the near future.
The last issue:
This current administration has also driven a nail into NATO. Who knows what this current Administration is considering? Without NATO backing - the US will have to battle on its own.
So far no nuclear weapons have fallen - but we currently have them scattered all over the world now - anything could happen.
Rogue nations would love to have few to ignite - somewhere around the world. Why - just because they could! Fear mongers love to do things - just because they can. They have no fear of dying for their cause. Their brains are saturated by their ideologies. Their brains are also boiled and their feet are blackened by the hot sands. Human life means nothing to them - only that they are guaranteed a direct flight to Ala. (Sick isn't it).
The world as we know it today will be far different in the near future (if we still have one)?
