Confliction zones and a safe areas in syria particularly in the last 34 years as dismal none of them have worked and the reason is the Bigger Picture which were seeing right now which is an extraordinary affirmation of the role of imperial powers using local actors in the middle east particularly in syria and iraq and particularly the kurds the russians the americans the british the french now the turks as a Regional Power this is been going on for 100 years so theres nothing new here this is a all the says is a sad reaffirmation of the continuation of imperial manipulation of weak dependent local actors and betraying them time after time after time for the interests of the bigger power and this is i think the sad situation youre in and do you think any of. Those powers that you just mentioned have thought about the hundreds of thousands of not the millions of civilians that are in this area that tookie has said that it wants to create a safe zone in return millions of Syrian Refugees
A point by point 1st the president s point about getting tough on turkey in the matter of the u. S.
