Trump is expected to cease support for YPG/PKK.Trump wont change his policy regarding the PKK/YPG since it is an important existential tool for the survival of Israel
Moreover, as long as there is oil in YPG-held areas, there will be more incentive for Trump/Harris to remain in Syria; couple it with the fact that this means that Russia will take Syria if US leaves which wouldn't please the US
The paragraph in question:Trump is expected to cease support for YPG/PKK.
Page 218 second paragraph
This is the bible of conservatives. Of course in reality it might not be that easy. The Pentagon and CIA will %100 oppose to this idea.
Won't work. Not to mention if he was really serious about it, he would've stopped Azerbaijan's oil going through to Israel. It would've completely destroyed relations but if Palestine matters that much to him...Let's hope AKP doesn't f*ck it up by yapping too much about Israel...
Side note: oh boy he's trying to get OTS into this: https://www.turkiyetoday.com/turkiy...s-unity-stronger-stance-on-gaza-crisis-75246/
Paywall. Can you post the text?„That’s why not everyone afraid of Trump“
US-Wahl 2024: Diese Länder haben keine Angst vor einem Präsidenten Donald Trump

You are mostly right but let's not forget 1 very important point.The paragraph in question:
"Second, the next Administration should build on the Trump
Administration’s diplomatic successes by encouraging other Arab states,
including Saudi Arabia, to enter the Abraham Accords. Related policies
should include reversing, as appropriate, the Biden Administration’s
degradation of the long-standing partnership with Saudi Arabia. The
Palestinian Authority should be defunded. A further key priority is keeping
Türkiye in the Western fold and a NATO ally. This includes a vigorous
outreach to Türkiye to dissuade it from “hedging” toward Russia or China,
which is likely to require a rethinking of U.S. support for YPG/PKK [People’s
Protection Units/Kurdistan Worker’s Party] Kurdish forces, which Ankara
believes are an existential threat to its security. For the foreseeable future—
and much longer than one new Administration—Middle Eastern oil will
play a key role in the world economy. Therefore, the U.S. must continue
to support its allies and compete with its economic adversaries, including
China. Relations with Saudi Arabia should be strengthened in a way that
seriously curtails Chinese influence in Riyadh."
Notice how they themselves call them YPG/PKK .

How Erdogan reconciles his hostility to Israel with his friendship with the pro-Israeli Trump is unknown to us. But for him, apparently, it is nothing but complete harmonyErdogan does a buyuk filistin rally hours later record trade is announced with Israel.
The man is a politician only uses whatever if it is to his own benefit which is Islam, Ottoman history, Palestine, Conservatives and Ataturk.

Despite the polemics the situation on the field in Syria is very different from what the people see trough the media. In fact what Israel and Turkiye do is overstretching the Iranian supported paramilitary groups so bad that the Lebanese Hezbollah had to pull fighters from Aleppo province to Lebanon and their places were taken by Iranian militia reinforcements plus the 25th Special Task Division (Russian proxy) from the east and the east was reinforced by Iraqi Hezbollah. This all came after Israel supposedly entered Syria some weeks ago.He has even closer ties to Israel. And now Erdogan positioned himself more anti-Israel than ever. He will also not be able to make an U-turn, as long as israels ethnic cleansing campaign is still ongoing, as that would cost the AKP votes.
Said other institutions opposed the pullback of US troops and are still ardent pkk supporters
Isn't that a group of like less than 600 men?the US supported FSA at the Tanf base
IMO, CIA can ramp up those numbers like crazy in two months tops. Maybe airlift SDF affiliated arabs or something.Isn't that a group of like less than 600 men?
Yeah, their number is not so big, but it is enough if the US provides air support for them. Prior to the possible operation they can reinforce a bit the base with an SDF component and Special Forces. Their task would be to defend themselves until IDF and the SDF arrives by land. It is a bit wild scenario, but not impossible. I hope we don't see it happening.Isn't that a group of like less than 600 men?
