    What happens in Syria doesn't stay in Syria. Until Assad's brutal regime is gone, until Syrians have freedom, Syria will be the gift that keeps on giving (for all the bad guys).

    Syrian Kurds also never lived in Raqqa and Deir Ezzor but they were deployed there by the US military in the war against ISIS. Also, I'll have to check this but I'm fairly certain Stalin never gave, say, the Crimean Tatars close air support.

    . calling on the Kurdish people to head to Syria's "Oil Region" where they have never lived. He's saying Kurds should abandon their cities, farms and homes. Mass population transfer was a tactic Stalin often used, not one called for by modern American presidents.

    In Idlib, Syria, in the past few months: - Over 1,000 civilians killed - Over 1,000,000 civilians displaced - Over 50 hospitals bombed But because they were attacked by Russia & Assad, and because they don't live in Northeast Syria, you probably haven't heard about it.

    If you worked under Obama, watched thousands of people bombed & gassed to death by Assad, then didn't voice your outrage or resign, please pass the mic. Everyone else, please criticize President Trump's equally upsetting disregard for the welfare of Syrian civilians.

    I was working for Obama on national security when we first engaged in Syria. There was no timetable on our engagement. The President continues to lie.

    Important report out today that highlights the extraordinary rates of detention and suffering of those returning to government of Syria control. Many considering leaving again. Until these security concerns and conditions are addressed, talk of return is reckless.

    More than 60% of displaced Syrians who returned to Assad-held areas in are actively seeking a way to flee again due to widespread and systematic violations they are suffering since returning. Read more in our new report:

    The Arab Spring rose up to fight corruption, repression, inequality and austerity. The Lebanon and Iraq protests show this spirit is still very much alive. If we want a progressive future, we need to build up a global movement of and for working people.

    Remarkable amount of willful ignorance when it comes to Turkey’s operation in Syria. Many are choosing to repeat the “abandonment of Kurds” argument for domestic political purposes. Offering no solution as YPG investment was unsustainable and never acceptable to a NATO ally.

    Hard to tell at this point, but who wants to bet: •The US will stay in Syria for a long time after the Turkish operation. Later than 2021. •The Kurds won’t join the Syrian regime during this time. •Turkey will not go beyond the strip of land approximately shown in this map.

    2305 days ago, my dad was forcibly disappeared by the Syrian regime. It's tearing my heart not being able to see him, listen to his voice, or at least know whether he's alive. It's the suffering of hundreds of thousands of detainees and disappeared along with their families.
