Iran attacks Kurds in Iraq - Update

BBC News: Reports  that Iran has started to attack Kurds in Iraq.

Let's Get Real:

The Kurds will want firm promises from the Trump Oval, as the article notes the Kurds do not match the theocracy when it comes to Militarty Kit, thus they will want the air to be dominated by the US, and cover for ground operations.  They answered the call from Bush 41 to rebels against the Iraqi Regime, in the first Gulf War, but got no support, they do not want that again.  This War could take a long time.

Kurds on the move in Iran - Update

Daily Mail: Reports " Thousands of soldiers have taken position in Iran as part of a military offensive, according to Jennifer Griffin, Chief National Security Correspondent of Fox News, after being secretly armed by the US.  "

Let's Get Real:

This could be the breaking news tomorrow, with the US and Israel pushing deep in Iran, they could bomb ANY resistance to the Kurds.  The US and Israel cannot win a war with just bombing, it has to take out security structures in Iran, to allow the people to protest. Air and Ground attack by the Kurds could mean the end of the Islamic Republic, that is the hope!

Has POTUS gone MAD ? - US Election 2020


Lets Get Real:

It can be argued that POTUS has shown that he is unfit for the Oval Office, Turkey invading Northern Syria is not a school yard fight, the US has betrayed its Kurdish Allies, the same Allies that fought Daesh and now face Syrian backed military that have Daesh and Al Qaeda supports among them.   The article reports that five hundred people have been killed and 300,000 civilians displaced within Syria, this is not a game, this is about life and death.  The Vice President and the US Cabinet should consider the 25th Amendment for the suspension of the President.   President Trump by his actions in the Ukraine and Syria have shown that he is unfit for the great office he holds, one doubts that the US Senate will remove him after impeachment, they are afraid of him, well his base.  US national security is being destroyed, one hopes that Trump gets defeated in 2020, otherwise god help the West.

House Rebukes POTUS over Syria and Turkey - 2020 US Election

The Hill: Reports the following on the resolution, " The measure passed in a 354-60 vote "

Lets Get Real:

One assumes this resolution will be passed by the US Senate or something like it.  The Trump White House can not afford to burn its bridges with the Republicans in the US Senate, POTUS will need them to find him not guilty when he is impeached.  The Trump foreign policy is just madness, it undercuts US security  and Trump is doing what Obama did in Iraq, the removal of US troops lead to the formation of Daesh.  The Trump Oval is coming across as weak and with no long term policy goals at all, with the exception of getting Trump re-elected in 2020.   The way POTUS is acting, it cast serious doubts of him getting re-elected, Senator Warren just might have a chance in 2020.

The US, Turkey vs. The Kurds and Daesh


Lets Get Real:

The US should place US troops in the buffer zone within Syria, this could seen as the US protecting its ally Turkey, but also making sure that Turkey does not think its a free fire zone to target the Kurds.    The Obama obsession with a Iran deal has come through, thus its time for the Oval Office to deal with Daesh in Syria and Iraq.    The Western allies could use the buffer zone as away to place special forces in Syria, take the fight to IS and keep an eye on what the Syrians get up to, to check any use of WMD that Assad still has when the war reaches crisis point for his regime.    Of course the devil is in the details!
