Defense Sources: Turkey Aiding Islamic State Resurgence After Trump Devastated Caliphate

TEL AVIV — Turkey has been working to bring thousands of Islamic State fighters to the region to launch campaigns in Iraq and Kurdish regions along the Syria-Iraq border, according to informed Middle Eastern defense officials.

By Bretibart, August 5, 2019:

The officials finger Turkish intelligence and military personnel as helping to facilitate a resurgence of IS to essentially work as proxies to attack Kurdish positions and pressure the West and regional actors into supporting Turkish interests in Syria. Some of the IS fighters are coming from camps inside Turkey where forces tied to Turkey have helped facilitate training, the officials said.

Turkey strongly opposes an independent Kurdish entity in Syria and has reportedly been pushing for control of a 20-mile deep buffer zone extending into northern Syria, arguing that only Turkey can ensure security in the area where Kurdish forces currently maintain autonomous zones. Any escalating clashes between IS and Kurdish forces could strengthen Turkey’s argument that only it can impose law and order in those zones.

However, the defense officials pointed out that it is Turkey that has been supporting extremists, especially dangerous Islamic fighters under the banner of IS.

The officials warned that Turkish actions are resulting in the formation of a new IS terror army that can wreak havoc in the region after U.S. and allied efforts under the Trump administration massively damaged the IS terror apparatus and essentially destroyed the previously emerging IS caliphate in the region.

Another possible threat could potentially come from IS terrorists, including foreigners, being freed from Kurdish prisons during any IS assault on Kurdish-controlled territory.

The alleged Turkish support for IS comes as Russia, Iran and Turkey held a series of trilateral meetings in recent weeks to discuss the future of Syria.

On Friday, the three countries issued a joint statement following a meeting in Kazakhstan declaring their opposition to the current autonomous zones in northern Syria established by the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and the largely Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG).

The statement announced that Russia, Turkey and Iran “rejected … all attempts to create new realities on the ground under the pretext of combating terrorism.”

Last week, a panel of United Nations experts reported to the UN Security Council that there is evidence that IS is seeking to bring about an “eventual resurgence in its Iraqi and Syrian heartlands.”

The Associated Press reported:

The panel of experts said in a report to the Security Council this week that the process is more advanced in Iraq, where IS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and most of the militant group’s leadership are now based following the fall of the so-called “caliphate” that he declared in the two neighboring countries.

In Syria, where the last IS stronghold was toppled in March, the IS covert network is spreading and sleeper cells are being established at the provincial level, mirroring what has been happening in Iraq since 2017, the report said.

The UN report did not mention Turkey’s alleged role in aiding IS.

It’s hardly necessary to do that considering 0.2% of Turkey is non-muslim.

Even 0.2% deserve a warning, Moe. If they are aroukd to receive a warning. They will likely be the frst eradicated by Erdogan and his Jihad henchmen. Thanks for the stat; I knew the non-Muslim population was low but 0.2% is lower than low.

If Constantinople is freed, who would it be handed over to? Less than 0.2% of Turkey is anything but f’ing muslum. Yes, Turkey is 98.2% f’ing muslum, because like all muslum states the kuffar are being systematically ethnically cleansed.

The majority of Kurds are f’ing muslums and in semi-independent Iraqi Kurdistan are already enforcing islamic blasphemy laws and persecuting Christians. Picking Kurdish muslums over Turkish muslums is like picking the SA over the SS, there is no good side to that conflict.

Methinks the Greeks would make short work of the Muslims and send them back to Turkey.

Are you the latest incarnation of Robert? Heil Julius Streicher! Another creature who cannot tell a Leftist when they see one. Leftist Jews are Leftist first and Jews second. Surely you should be gunning for leftists? IMO you totally ignore a few facts: was Stalin a Jew? Was Lenin a Jew? Naturally that does not matter to creatures like you, only that some were Jews. We do not need allies like you so go and sleep with the muslims.

Lenin’s Jewish roots confirmed

Out of the (556) important functionaries of the communist Bolshevik state, there were: (17) Russians, (2) Ukrainians, (11) Armenians, (35) Letts [Latvians], (15) Germans, (1) Hungarian, (10) Georgians, (3) Poles, (3) Finns, (1) Czech, (1) Karaim, and (457) Jews. That’s over 82 percent Jewish!

Um if the story is even true his maternal grandFATHER converted to Christianity. Ergo, he’s not Jewish by any stretch of the imagination except in your exceedingly twisted muslum mind.

Jews are a race, not a religion. DNA testing can confirm a person’s race but never a person’s religious beliefs. Quit being disingenuous. You already know that Jews are a race.

Your attempt to equate Jews with muslums is absolutely ludicrous. The muslum world consists of nothing but totalitarian, fascist, theocratic shiteholes and guess what? For all practical purposes there aren’t any Jews left in the muslum world and that isn’t by accident. Please find yourself a 5lb sledge, get a copy of your holey quaranus and hammer it right up your rectum.

Assuming that St.Paul ,a Jew by birth, could be your ancestor does that make you a Jew? I would estimate that like 20% of Europeans can claim descent from Charlemagne, most Europeans have somewhere in their ancestry a Jew who converted to Christianity, so I suppose that makes us all Jews in your mind. Anyway,regardless, after Stalin took over the Bolshevik Party he eliminated the Jews almost to a man and woman with a very few exceptions.

“Assuming that St.Paul, a Jew by birth…”

Thanks for pointing out that Jews are a race and not a religion.

“…after Stalin took over the Bolshevik Party he eliminated the Jews…”

Highly exaggerated, but I’ll get to that later. Anyway, what was happening before that? Care to explain?

Stalin’s Jews
https://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3342999,00.html

“Stalin’s attitude was unequivocal. Personally free from crude racial prejudice, he was wary of openly offending against the party canon which was hostile to anti-Semitism. Jews were quite prominent in his entourage, though far less so than they had been in Lenin’s. Litvinov stood for over a decade at the head of the Soviet diplomatic service; Kaganovich was to the end Stalin’s factotum; Mekhlis was the chief political Commissar of the army; and Zaslavsky and Ehrenburg were the most popular of Stalin’s sycophants.”
– (((Issac Deutscher))), Stalin; A Political Biography. New York: Oxford Univ. Press, 1967, p. 605

“To the end Stalin maintained that he opposed Jews who were Bundists, or religious activists, or ‘cosmopolitans’, or secessionists, or Zionists, or agents of American-Israeli organizations, but was not against Jews as such. On the contrary he had provided them with the Jewish autonomous region (in an inhospitable corner of Siberia, which attracted only a few thousand hopeful immigrants).”

Stalin was “wary of openly offending against the party canon…” Bwahahahahahahahaha, is that why Stalin slaughtered tens of millions of Russians? BTW, what happened to Trotsky again? And what happened to all Russian synagogues under the Bolsheviks?

This is no surprise or is it new. Erdogan many moons ago threatened U.S. Forces working with the Kurds to bring down ISIS. Erdogan is a loose cannon on deck and should be paid a late night visit by a cruise missile. of unknown origin.
