Syria is the most dangerous conflict in the world. President Assad is fighting the rebels and Isis. We are working with the Iraqi Army. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard colonels and generals are working with the Shia Militias. We are also supporting the area’s best troops — the Kurds.

The Kurdish homeland is Northeastern Syria, Western Turkey, Northern Iraq (no fly zone), and Western Iran. We have had the Kurd’s back since Saddam gassed them. Turkey did little to hinder ISIS in getting supplies and people across their border because they were killing Kurds. Turkey has recently attacked the Syrian Kurds west of our Kurds battle line and says our Kurds are next.

The Iranians have pulled over 2,000 of their Lebanese Hezbollah troops to fight the Syrian rebels. This allowed Assad to let the Iranians send munitions across Syria. Israel has bombed some of the convoys but thousands of short range missiles have gotten through to Lebanon and Gaza.

Russia has supported Assad with weapons and “Mercenaries” to prop him up. They fight side-by-side with the Syrian Army and in one instance against an American advised Kurd unit. The Americans called in air and artillery support killing over 200 Russians. In return for support the little Russian base has been greatly increased in size, troops, and power.

We have set up a protected “Refuge” area in Southeast Syria funded by Saudi Arabia and other Arab countries. American air power destroyed a Syrian force about to attack the “Refugees.”

Our April 13/14 missile attack was done after telling the Russians and Syrians where and when so nobody got hurt in hitting empty buildings and bunkers. It was a symbolic attack in an extremely complicated area where a bigger war can easily happen.
