biden tells kurds to take a hikeBiden says Syrian Kurdish forces must pull back to get US support after Manbij The US has made it clear to Syrian Kurdish forces that they must return to east of the Euphrates river after seizing control of the Syrian town of Manbij to retain US support, Vice President Joe Biden said on Wednesday. Biden was speaking during a visit to Turkey. Ankara has said it expects Syrian Kurdish fighters to withdraw across the river after the Manbij victory by the US-backed Syria Democratic Forces (SDF), an alliance of Kurdish and Arab fighters. Ankara considers the Kurdish YPG in Syria as a hostile force. (Reuters) ####### the kurds just turned on the syrians in a shoot up just the other day so they can't very well seek rapprochement with them the very next day... a very ingenious maneuver... with the americans providing the air coverage for the turks it is WW 111 or excusa me... no wonder the russians moved back their bombers from iran as they are very vulnerable flying over iraq and putin is going to show up in turkey to watch a football game huh???... |
