US Think Tank FDD’s proposals to Biden on how to advance “Kurdistan” in Turkey and Syria​

United World International
The US Think Tank, Foundation for the Defense of Democracies (FDD) has published a report titled “From Trump to Biden: The way forward for U.S. National Security” in January 2021.

From Trump to Biden

The report presents policy proposals to the Biden Administration concerning a broad range of countries. In the Middle East, proposals concerning policy towards Turkey and Syria aim to progress the establishment of “Kurdistan”.
Founded in 2001 shortly after the 9/11 attacks, the FDD describes its mission as “strengthening U.S. security and reducing or eliminating threats posed b adversaries and enemies of the United States and other free nations.”
Considered a neoconservative Think Tank, the FDD is evaluated to be very close to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee and the Likud-Party in Israel.
The FDD has loudly and actively criticized the JCPOA with Iran and advocated a more militarist US policy towards Teheran.
Following conservative Israeli politics, the FDD’s recent report displays its support for the establishment of so called “Kurdistan” on Turkish and Syrian territories. Its recommendations to the Biden Administration focus on this project with supporting side elements.

Demands on Biden concerning “Kurdistan” in Turkey​

The FDD report calls on the Biden Administration to pressure Turkey in order to “pursue the Kurdish Peace Process”, that is, peace talks with the separatist terror organization PKK (on whom according to the report the US has “leverage”). (Point 8)
“Support for democracy and human rights in Turkey” is demanded to cease pressure of the Turkish justice system on the HDP, which is considered to be the legal arm of the PKK and whose closure is demanded by wide circles, as well as limitation of Turkey’s law on fight against terror. (Point 1)
Additionally, the Biden Administration shall “find a modus vivendi between Turkey and the Syrian Kurds”, thus forcing Ankara to recognize the Kurdish Autonomous Self Administration established, protected and financed by the US government in the North East of Syria. (Point 9)
The FDD report adds further points, where the Biden Administration shall pressure the Turkish government, as supporting the “democratic opposition”, advancing legal process against Turkish state owned bank Halkbank, and “making U.S. economic support contingent on Turkish domestic reforms”. (Points 1, 3 and 10)
Turkey’s purchase of S-400 missile defense system, its activities in the Eastern Mediterranean and its judicial processes against supports of coup d’état are also criticized by the report. (Points 2, 4, 5, 6, 7)

The FDD’s recommendations to Biden concerning Turkey, FDD report, p. 67

Demands on Biden concerning “Kurdistan” in Syria​

The FDD report presents the Biden Administration also proposals for a Syria-Policy, focused on creating a Kurdish Autonomous region within the country.
US troops are mainly stationed in the North East of Syria, the region foreseen as territory of the Autonomous Region. “Maintaining US troops in Syria” and if necessary, “reversing the withdrawals” is the first demand of the FDD report.
The Biden Administration shall “continue to support and train the SDF”, major military force of the Self-government body, and “help local authorities in northeastern Syria to develop their energy resources”.
Consequently, the Biden Administration shall “deter Erdogan from further aggression against Syrian Kurds”.
Additionally to direct support to the Autonomous Region, The US shall maintain the pressure on the Assad Government via the Caesar Act and “warning U.S. partners in the Arab world not to normalize relations with Assad”.

The FDD recommentadions concerning Syria, p. 63

Conclusion​

In summary, the Israel-friendly Foundation for the Defense of Democracies draws a road map of great pressure on both Turkey and Syria, questioning both countries’ security policy and territorial integration.
Turkey is called to make peace and negotiation with a terror organization it has been fighting for over 40 years, while Syria is called to accept prolonged US military presence and activity in parts of its territory.
The report departs from the separation of and conflict between the two governments in Ankara and Damascus, an assumption that may turn wrong exactly because of the report’s recommendations.

We can fight !

Operations should have started long ago, but keep waiting...

 

[Saithan]

As long as government isn’t doing anything active against ypg/sdf n Syria the US can always pursue this policy. Relentless merciless hunt down any element 100 km of our borders should be initiated.

you think us bases in Syria close to Turkey in ypg territory is meant to contain Assad ? Assad is a footnote now, and pretty much dead without Russian help.

We can fight !

Its just a shame that AK party made such a mess of syria. Basically opened the doors for kurdistan and then for that kurdistan to be used to threaten Turkey directly.

Erdogan has made several incursions into syria and each time he's stopped them short, leaving the situation to continue to fester.

The syrian policy is maybe the single greatest disaster in republic history.

You couldnt get the job done under Trump, now you think you will get it done under Bidan. Madness.

the Israel-friendly Foundation for the Defense of Democracies draws a road map of great pressure on both Turkey and Syria!

If you are realist and when you know resent history then it is no a surprise that Israel will keep doing this things.
But as you know we have few members here Turks, which still dreaming and keep trying to tell us "we need to stick with Israel ". For them Turks decisions are wrong!

Such a bold statement when we countered the enemy outside our borders.
If it wasn't the US it would be Russia.
We will simply regard everything in Syria that goes against us as terrorists, including the US troops.
That day will come.

 

[xizhimen]

US is still looking to pick fights around the world but its fast declining power is no longer able to handle them.

 

[Nilgiri]

IMO, US has made a critical error with its Turkey policy, given Turkey is in NATO. If I was in US position I would always have made sure to keep Turkey on my side as far as possible....rather than treat it quite contemptuously. Any differences with turkey govt, there is lot of avenues for that to engage on in reasonable way given US soft power....but they went for this hard approach instead with very vague ill-defined goals on top (w.r.t say Iran and Iran proxies and foreign policy regarding that vis-a-vis Kurdish militant groups).

Biden is just going to double down on the deep-state "plan", and increase more it looks like

.... after some level of hold was called by trump-admin.

@Indos this is what I meant earlier when I say Biden admin is gonna be worse for Turkey in lot of respects.

Strengthen China, Russia and Iran against US.

Strengthen China, Russia and Iran against US.

We need to strengthen ourselves as a first priority and show that we will not allow Zionist agenda in our backyard. If they will pay the price of their actions they should know that it will be paid by the lives of their sons.

Israel always had a two faced policy towards Turkey, support our enemies while also providing Turkey with some lessor support. But since erdogan went full retard against Israel, the Israelis have gone all out against Turkey.

You have to pick your battles wisely.

Israel's intentions is not only a matter of today and of Erdoğan's policies.
They do what they do no matter what but this time we don't pretend that we are dead.

What your boys did is make open enemies with everyone at once, while also uniting enemies together in their common cause against Turkey. The reward is a kurdistan in syria and all your enemies supporting and financing the greeks against Turkey.

shockingly inept politics.

USA made it Openly -> check "Hood incidence ", check attack of USA army on Turkiye bases in Iraq, check recent support in Iraq, Syria USA made and Openly support attacks of PKK on Turkiye. What about Coup, What about embargoes, What about building boarder fortress in Syria to make wall against Turkiye for offense.

It is opposite, those boys made it possible to confront all those enemies, you think that your enemies are stupid and let anyone to oppose them without friction? Now i am thinking that hdp chp coalition should win and let them rule for couple of years, i am pretty confident that they would screw things so much that it would be their last apperiance on stage.
