>Trump's excellent five-point plan for Syria
Secretary of State Rex Tillerson pledged that the U.S. will retain a limited military ground presence inside Syria. This presence, the secretary argued, will allow the U.S. to achieve five crucially important strategic objectives:

First, the defeat of ISIS, al Qaeda, and other transnationally-focused terrorist groups.

Second, the establishment of a unified Syria under the leadership of someone other than Bashar Assad.

Third, reduced Iranian influence in Syria so that non-sectarian political empowerment and U.S. regional security interests are protected.

Fourth, the return of displaced peoples to their homes.

Fifth, a Syrian government that is finally disarmed of weapons of mass destruction.

>LAVROV: CHEMICAL TERRORISM THREAT IS GROWING IN MIDDLE EAST

Militants in Iraq and Syria have obtained technologies and capabilities to produce chemical weapons and the threat of chemical terrorism is growing, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told the UN Security Council.

“There are serious concerns over the growing threat of ‘chemical’ terrorism in the Middle Eastern region, in particular, on the territory of Iraq and Syria,” Lavrov said on January 18, according to RT. “The militants not only use toxic chemicals, but also have their own technologies and production capabilities for the synthesis of full-fledged chemical warfare agents as well as established and branched channels for accessing the precursors.”

The minister also criticized a number of Western nations that ignire the use of chemical arms by militants, making groundless accusations against the Syrian government instead.

>France to launch international group targeting toxic gas attacks

France has asked some 30 countries to work together to preserve evidence of chemical weapons attacks and impose sanctions on those responsible after Russia ended an international inquiry into who is to blame for using toxic gas in Syria.

France will host a meeting on Tuesday in Paris to launch the initiative, French U.N. Ambassador Francois Delattre told a United Nations Security Council meeting on nonproliferation of weapons of mass destruction on Thursday.

U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson is due to attend, the State Department said.

The group will work together “collecting, conserving, exchanging and using ... all the mechanisms at our disposal to name the guilty parties and impose the necessary sanctions on them,” according to the invitation sent to states and seen by Reuters.

“It is important that, when the time comes and the political timing is right, all the information on the perpetrators of chemical weapons attacks and those who participated in their programs is immediately available so as to ensure they are brought to justice for their actions,” the invitation said.

The move comes after an international investigation into who is to blame for chemical weapons attacks in Syria ended in November after Syrian ally Russia blocked for the third time in a month attempts at the United Nations to renew the inquiry, which Moscow has slammed as flawed.

>U.S. urges Turkey to remain focused on Islamic State, not attack Syria's Afrin

The U.S. State Department urged Turkey on Thursday not to take military action against Afrin region in Syria and called instead for Ankara to remain focused on fighting Islamic State militants in the region.

Asked about signs that Turkey was preparing to strike a Kurdish militia in Afrin, State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert told a briefing: “We would call ... on the Turks to not take any actions of that sort. ... We don’t want them to engage in violence but we want them to keep focused on ISIS.”

>Syrian opposition still undecided on participation in Sochi congress — source

he Syrian opposition delegation formed at the consultations in Riyadh in November has made no final decision yet regarding its participation in the Syrian National Dialogue Congress in Sochi, a source in the Syrian opposition informed TASS on Wednesday.

"The final decision has not been made yet. It will be made following upcoming meeting of Russian, Iranian and Turkish representatives, where the details of the Congress will be hammered out," he said.

The source noted that the participants in the Congress and its agenda would be finalized at a closed-door meeting in Sochi on January 19-20.

>Russia to invite US, UNSC to be observers at Syrian Dialogue Congress – ambassador to US
Moscow is ready to expand cooperation with the US on settling the conflict in Syria on a firm international legal basis, Russian Ambassador to the US Anatoly Antonov has said. Russia is sending an invitation to the US and UN Security Council members to participate as observers in the Syrian National Dialogue Congress, Antonov told Sputnik. Moscow wants the existing de-confliction mechanism between Russia and the US in Syria to remain despite the withdrawal of a significant part of the Russian troops from Syria. US-Russian relations have deteriorated over the past year, but Antonov noted that President Donald Trump “came to power with the goal to improve bilateral ties.” The ambassador added: “I am sure that the president did not give up on that goal. But he was unable to reach it.”

>US Embassy in Baghdad criticizes calls to delay Iraqi elections
The US supports holding Iraqi parliamentary elections on May 12, as planned by Iraq’s government, the US Embassy in Baghdad said on Thursday. It also said that “postponing the elections would set a dangerous precedent, undermining the constitution and damaging Iraq’s long-term democratic development.” The statement came as Iraqi lawmakers were meeting in Baghdad to decide whether to hold the vote as planned or postpone it in order to allow hundreds of thousands of displaced people to return home to cast their ballot, Reuters reported.

>WASHINGTON IN DENIAL: TILLERSON SAYS US HAS NO PLANS TO FORM SYRIA BORDER FORCE

US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said that Washington has no plans to create a 30,000-strong border force in northern Syria and claimed that the issue has been “misportrayed”.

“That entire situation has been misportrayed, misdescribed, some people misspoke. We are not creating a border security force at all,” the official reporters on his way back from giving a speech at Stanford University in California on Wednesday.

According to initial reports, the US is working with the Kurdish-dominated Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) to establish the border force that will control the Turkish-Syrian border, the Iraqi-Syrian border and the Euphrates Valley area bordering the SDF-held part of eastern Syria.

The idea faced a strong criticism from Turkey and led to further deterioration of the relations between Ankara and Washington over the Syrian crisis.

Now, Tillerson is attempting to resolve the situation. However, he forgot to mention that just few days ago the Pentagon officially announced the creation of the border force that the US forces “are not creating”.

“The Coalition is working jointly with the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) to establish and train the new Syrian Border Security Force (BSF). Currently, there are approximately 230 individuals training in the BSF’s inaugural class, with the goal of a final force size of approximately 30,000,” spokesman for the US-led coalition Colonel Thomas F. Veale said. “The base of the new force is essentially a realignment of approximately 15,000 members of the Syrian Democratic Forces to a new mission in the Border Security Force as their actions against ISIS draw to a close.”

Truth be told those OPCW Khan Sheikhun ramblings were designed to be flawed. OPCW has a strict chain of custody and evidence gathering provisions which were ignored in that meme inquiry.

>TILLERSON: US TO KEEP MILITARY PRESENCE IN SYRIA TO REMOVE ASSAD FROM POWER

The US will keep an indefinite military presence in Syria in order to remove President Bashar al-Assad from power, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson revealed in a speech at Stanford University on January 17.

“Assad’s regime is corrupt, and his methods of governance and economic development have increasingly excluded certain ethnic and religious groups,” the official said. “Such oppression cannot persist forever.”

“A total withdrawal of American personnel at this time would restore Assad and continue his brutal treatment of his own people,” he continued.

Tillerson added that “free and transparent elections … will result in the permanent departure of Assad and his family from power.”

>Syrian govt to attend UN-sponsored talks in Vienna – UN deputy envoy
The Syrian government will attend UN-sponsored peace talks set to take place in Vienna next week, the UN deputy Syria envoy said on Thursday. Ramzy Ezzeldin Ramzy said at a press conference in Damascus that Syria’s deputy foreign minister, Faisal Meqdad, had informed him of the government's plans to attend, Reuters reports. The UN has invited the Syrian government and opposition to a special meeting next week in the Austrian capital.

[Dominic Flores]

I think the Kurds might get their federalized Syria. Russia had entertained this idea before and so has the US, it is one of the few things the two sides agree on.

[Luke Long]

Good night lads.

[Isaiah Johnson]

It won't work and most likely fail shortly, Russia is only doing it because they want to end the war immediately and on their times.

Federalization is a clusterfuck waiting to happen. It means turning the centralized Syrian Arab Republic into a federal republic with autonomous subdivisions, which will be obviously controlled by different ethnic backgrounds.

What people don't fucking get is that this is a potential Balkan Wars scenario on crack cocaine. It could tessellate the country because it's literal Balkanization.
>The Syrians don't want it because it's obviously fucking stupid and could breed an ethnic conflict.
>The Rebels want a Sunni majority """" "Democracy"""" they don't want minorities like the Alawites having any power in the country.
>The Kurds want it because they're autistic niggers who don't understand anything about law, or governments, or really any basic logic when it comes to a multi-ethnic nation. They're just using it as an excuse for their delusional Kurdistan dream.

Two scenarios will most likely happen for me
>It might happen, but due to Russia negotiations and it will be light. However it will still fail obviously and it might cause a conflict with the Kurds
>Kurdish autism and Syria/Iran/Iraq/Turkey will hopefully convince Russia that this is fucking stupid and ditch the idea for a better one. Kurds will either chimp out and we'll still get a conflict, or they'll finally realize that they need to just shut the fuck up and deal with it

>burger idiot claims Syria needs regime change to solve corruption
the corruption is real. it is an issue that the Syrian government will need to address after the war as part of their plan to ensure lasting peace.
refusing to bring the American soldiers back to burgerland can only cause instability in Syria (this burger idiot wants instability)

[Liam Young]

and thus the Kurd lover reveals himself

[Joseph Flores]

I don't know. Russians demanded those to be upheld and an on-site investigation in both Khan Sheykhun and the Shayrat airbase, from which the attack was allegedly carried out. But the airbase was Tomahawk'd right away, before any probe, investigation or anything outside of DED BUTIFEL CHILLUNS and twitter screeching happened.
Whole thing makes fucking zero sense and the new investigation will be even more of a meme.

I think it's fucking ridiculous how you guys pretend you're all for the stability and sovereignty of countries except when it comes to Ukraine, then their sovereignty doesn't matter because they decided to take a step away from Russia, then you flip around your whole shtick and suddenly those rebels destabilizing a country are now freedom fighters and Ukraine needs a regime change. Same went for Georgia, which goal literally was regime change. You should stop pretending you care about nations' sovereignty and just admit you want a Russian/Iranian world order, you're just fighting for your own brand of globalism.

[Jaxson Long]

[Ian Reed]

Oh yes of course it was a coup organized by CIA and Dr. McCain, the one man from America that can change an entire country's leadership overnight just by meeting with some officials, Ukraine actually loves Russia and has always loved Russia and wants to be with Russia forever and the big bad USA is the one that suddenly, in the last 10 years, brainwashed the entire population of Ukraine to hate Russia. So it is necessary we must fund rebels to fight the Ukrainian regime because they are not the legitimate regime, by the way this is all for sovereignty of the Ukrainian people, which belongs to Russia!

You people are a joke when it comes to this insane double standard you have with Russia. It's like you think nobody hates Russia's sphere of influence and if they do, it's paid off by CIA. But then, reverse the situation like with Turkey and NATO for example, as a country under the sphere of influence of the US now itching away from it, suddenly it's totally legit.

Why don't you just admit you're basically the same as neocons?

[Joseph Diaz]

There are Minsk agreements, which require Ukraine to make certain concessions too.
Spoiler: They are unwilling to do it and everyone and their dog knew that they won't fulfill shit the moment they were proposed. And same for Russia and LPR/DPR except most of the Minsk postulates require symmetrical action, so if one side doesn't comply the other is auto excused. Blame retards who allowed this to be pushed really.
Hence Ukrops get called out on their shit and their country is being sold off to the west.

[Jeremiah Wood]

nothing, Turkey just wants kurds to not have any controlled clay from which to support PKK.

[Lucas Cook]

More like Ukraines legitimate government was overthrown through color revolutions. And Georgia attacked south ossetia and killed civilians and russian peace keepers. Every action has a reaction and the time of american hegemony comes to an end.

Third wave of Iranian protests have started, looks like the exhausted use of the IRGC hasn't worked, they are back on the streets, many workers have gone on strike as well, they haven't been paid in months.
