On Monday, Damascus condemned the United States decision on the formation of the "Border Security Force" on the country's north-eastern border, the Syrian state news agency SANA reports.
In the Syrian Foreign Ministry, the US intentions were described as "a flagrant aggression against the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Syria and an outrageous violation of international law." The authorities also called on the international community to put an end to the "arrogant and hegemonic policy of the United States administration."
Ankara and Moscow, too, are enraged by Washington's decision to form a new army in Syria under its aegis - from Kurds and allied Arabs. The representative of the American coalition, Thomas Wiel, casually recalled that the Pentagon really will not have any right to remain in Syria after the defeat of ISIS. However, he did not begin to explain, on what then legal basis Washington allows itself such broad gestures as the creation of a quasi-army in the territory of a foreign country.
Recall, an international coalition led by the United States announced in Syria a new military structure - the Border Security Force. "The coalition is working with the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) to create and train new Syrian border security forces," said the spokesman for the coalition, Thomas Wiel, quoted by the Defense Post.
"The base for the new power structure is, in fact, about 15 thousand representatives of the Syrian democratic forces, which will be regrouped into the new border security forces, as their struggle against the IG is over," Wiel said. He added that about 230 people have already gone "to the first class," that is, to the first level of training.
The coalition plans to number about 30 thousand people. The size of the SDF group today experts also estimated at 30-40 thousand soldiers, most of whom are Kurdish militiamen.
Wil added that the "security forces" will be located in the valley of the Euphrates River - along the western margin of the territory controlled by SDF, along the Iraqi and Turkish borders.
The US initiative came after Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan yesterday announced that the Turkish military could launch an operation in the Kurdish-controlled regions of Manbij and Afrin in northwestern Syria within a week.
"The US is taking steps that legitimize the terrorist organization - it causes concern," Erdogan's spokesman Ibrahim Kalyn said to Vil. Ankara reserves the right to "any fight against terrorism", both inside the country and abroad. "Turkey will take all measures to ensure its security".
Military experts believe that special border forces will really be needed - until the ISIS militants will be finally finished off.
Now you have the Korean Peninsula encircled by US carriers and a flotilla of escort vessels and countless aircraft ready to attack on the "Mad Dog's orders". Again N. Korea has invaded nobody since 1953 and has no common border with the US. We hear Nutty Nikki in the UN proclaiming that the US is only looking for peace, not war. The US has over 100 foreign bases, NK none. US bases encircle Russia, China and Iran. If Russia and China which share borders with N. Korea are not concerned with a nuclear NK so why should the US be so concerned.
It is clear to the world that the US clearly wants peace but on their terms. The PNAC authored by Jeb Bush and the neocons coincidentally just preceded 9/11. Americans watching Wolf Blitzer's CNN are constantly reminded of this document and its call for a unipolar world; ie US domination.
The reality is that the US is virtually bankrupt by design. Total liabilities including unfunded Social Security are probably past 200 trillion. The US is perpetuating this charade by flexing military muscle and through an aggressive posture. It was also able to do this through Kissinger's petro dollar scam forcing all nations to hold US dollar reserves. Deals for oil are now being done in other currencies. In the past it was easily to enforce petro-dollar compliance on smaller nations through military force.
The US is now bumping up against big nuclear non compliant states like Russia and China and the US is unlikely to abdicate its role of supreme military power and world policeman without blowback.
The US empire is being eclipsed. The US has only debt and not gold reserves. The petro dollar days are ending. The US days of the world's factor and being an industrial powerhouse is over again by design. It is unlikely that the US will fade quietly into the night. The US is setting itself up for a big war. While other countries like Russia and China are building an infrastructure network to facilitate trade with Europe and Asia, America who now exports mainly weapons and cardboard is looking for a huge war to try and re-establish the Empire it once had and mismanaged.
The US used to be the beacon of freedom and Democracy at the top of the hill. Today it is the trash dump in the bottom of the valley. It has lost its liberty and respect in the world. The is because Americans are focused on media propaganda like "exceptionalism" and not the ugly reality that their politicians and their handlers have created for them. The next shithole might just be the USA.
