Just spoke to President @RTErdogan of Turkey. He told me there was minor sniper and mortar fire that was quickly eliminated. He very much wants the ceasefire, or pause, to work. Likewise, the Kurds want it, and the ultimate solution, to happen. Too bad there wasnt.....
Donald J. Trump ✔ @realDonaldTrump
.....this thinking years ago. Instead, it was always held together with very weak bandaids, & in an artificial manner. There is good will on both sides & a really good chance for success. The U.S. has secured the Oil, & the ISIS Fighters are double secured by Kurds & Turkey....

(20,864 posts)My guess is that he is talking about oil and gas pipelines that run through Syria coming from Iran and Iraq.
Russia makes big money from those pipelines and installations.
Guess where those pipelines end up, that's right Ukraine on their way to Europe.

And Mean While,the unproven Oil Reserves in Northern Syria become a Turkish/Putin Money Pot to finance their influence and probable Control of that region.
And the Trump Crime Syndicate scores canceled Mortgages on all their Russian Oligarch financed properties.

(86,054 posts)and it's not far from where Erdogan intends to expand his reach. And then there's the pootin plan for a pipeline running from the Caspian Sea to the Mediterranean. So that's looking like an acquisition the thugs wanted. The Kurds will be sacrificed for the oil.
