U.S. Throws Kurds To The Wolves, Launches Program To Roll Back Kurdish, Not ISIS, Advances In Syria

It has been said by RPI advisor John Laughland that “it is better to be an enemy of the Americans than their friend. If you are their enemy, they might try to buy you; but if you are their friend, they will definitely sell you.” 

The YPG have long been considered as one of the warmer forces in terms of its relation to the United States. While certainly not the equivalent of the Iraqi “Barzani” Kurds who are closely connected to the NATO intelligence apparatus, the YPG has been willing to accept help from any who are interested in defeating ISIS, be that the Syrian government or the United States. 

Of course, any claims from the United States or Turkey professing a desire to shut down ISIS supply routes can be dismissed out of hand since it has been these two countries that have provided a massive portion of the aid to ISIS since the beginning and even before the Syrian crisis got off the ground. 

What is interesting, however, is that both the United States and Turkey openly admit that the plan is to prevent the YPG from gaining ground in Northern Syria and sealing off the border themselves. There is no doubt that it has been the Kurds that have been the most effective fighting force against ISIS in Northern Syria. There is also no doubt that Kurdish success on the borders of Turkey is intolerable for the Islamist Turkish leadership concerned that Syrian Kurd success will equal a union and eventual military campaign by Turkish Kurds, possibly in coordination with Syrian and even Iraqi Kurdish organization. 

Turkey has, for some time, been launching attacks against Syrian Kurds under the guise of fighting ISIS and the United States has looked the other way, another indication that the Turkish agenda and the American one are largely one and the same. 

Still, the cooperation between the U.S. and the YPG may take a very different form if the “U.S. led coalition” begins funneling more hardware and jihadists against the Kurds for the benefit of Erdogan and his lunatic fantasies of becoming the new Ottoman Empire.

DYI Comments: To understand U.S. foreign policy it is necessary to know our 5 strategic goals.  These goal have been developed and built upon since the beginning of our republic/empire. As described by George Friedman in his book The Next 100 Years.

1.  The complete domination of north America by the United States Army.

2.  The elimination of any threat to the United States by any power in the western hemisphere.

3.  Complete control of the maritime approaches to the United States by the Navy in order to preclude any possibility of invasion.

4.  Complete domination of the world's oceans to further secure U.S. physical safety and guarantee control over the international trading system.

5.  The prevention of any other nation from challenging U.S. global naval power.

DYI has added on point number 6.

6.  To secure control through political or military means the worlds supply of oil/gas and other strategic resources for the U.S./U.K./NATO/EU alliance.  

The U.S. method of prevention for any country in challenging U.S. naval power is to eliminate the naval threat.  The true U.S. presence in the mid east is to strip away from Russia all of her allies as in the case of Syria and continue to move closer and closer to chasing the Russian navy out of the Black Sea.

 

The reason the U.S. has allowed the Turks to "mix it up" with their arch enemy Russia as it serves multiple purposes for the U.S.  First it ties down human and financial resources for Russian land based armies and air forces and at the same time destabilizes the Caucasus' along with the oil/gas rich Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan region. This soaks up valuable Rubles for Russian naval power.

The Asian Pivot

The U.S. is in the process of pivoting to Asia to deal with the new regional naval power China.  There are two geographical ways to pivot to Asia.  By sea or land.  The U.S. is already moving additional sea based assets(air craft carriers) to the east and south China Sea area.  The other route to China is through Russia.  Since the end of WWII U.S. ultimate strategic goal is to break Russia with the loss of the Caucasus', the Laplands (north and east of St. Petersburg) and all lands east of the Urals. These new countries east of the Ural mountains containing strategic resources especially oil/gas will need 1st world technology to develop their resources provided by the U.S./U.K./NATO/EU alliance. Companies such as British Petroleum, Royal Dutch Shell, Total, Exxon Mobil, Chevron, Valero Energy etc. would be there in an effort to cut out of the competition companies such as China National, Saudi Aramco and Lukoil(Russian).  With the U.S. led alliance in control of these strategic assets Russia and China will have to submit or be cut off.  That submission is not having a naval presence.  The seas along with world trade are to be controlled by the U.S. and staunch ally England.

Do not not be lulled into thinking oil prices will be low forever.  The dropping of prices is geopolitics Saudi Arabia became tired of its OPEC members cheating on production quotas.  They opened the flood gates of oil to drive the price down to pick up market share.  Along the way to punish Saudi Arabia's arch enemy Iran plus their benefactor Russia.  This is why the Iranians are having sanctions lifted and allowed to pump oil further driving down the price of oil.  It is the hope of the U.S. State Department Russia will default on their sovereign debt further destabilizing the Mother Land.

Both countries Russia and China knows full well the intentions of the U.S./U.K./NATO/EU alliance. Will the alliance be successful?  Russia 20 to 30 years from now will most likely be a much smaller country west of the Urals loss of the Caucasus and Laplands to the north.  With a good chance of the smaller Russia coming into the alliance.  China will be another matter as most of the upper tier politicos believe war is destined to the point of preordained.  It appears that world war is coming.

World War III

Surprisingly despite all that the alliance is doing to Russia in the end will align themselves as allies.

The Allies...Christians and Shiites
U.S./U.K./NATO/EU, Russia, India, and Iran

The Axis Powers...Buddhists and Sunnis
China, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, UAE along with other possible Sunnis.

Hopefully cooler heads will prevail but human nature being as it is the world has not had a world war since 1939-1945.  Those who remember those days of massive death and destruction are extremely old and passing away quickly(or already dead) leaving only the sons and daughters who have any knowledge passed on to them by their parents.  The Boomers are ageing leaving more and more in control of those generations who have no direct or indirect knowledge(other than history books) of the horrors of world war.  DYI will keep watching and reporting.
