Biden Says Assad Must Go

Ms. Cat

While on the campaign trail, President Joe Biden spoke with some “Syrian American activists” who favor increased sanctions on the country as well as regime change in Damascus, during a private fundraiser in Maryland last month. According to neoconservative columnist Josh Rogin – one of Bill Kristol’s protégés – Biden told these regime change advocates that, among other things, Assad must go. Rogin says these activists “took advantage of their audience with Biden… to implore him to do more to oppose” Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

Faisal al-Mekdad, the regime’s top diplomat, is visiting Moscow days after a meeting with Cavusoglu.

“I did not use the phrase reconciliation between the Syrian regime and the opposition, but I said that a settlement of the crisis must be reached.” This is how the Turkish foreign minister, Mevlut Cavusoglu, has tried to contain the controversy that erupted after news of his meeting with Syria’s top diplomat, Faisal al-Mekdad. News reports circulated that Cavusoglu called for “reconciliation” between Damascus and the opposition during that meeting.

“Turkey is a threat to Syria” But the US and Israel aren’t?

Ms. Cat

Read the Jerusalem post oped below keeping in mind that that Israel has long been allied with the PKK kurds. Keeping in mind that ‘greater kurdistan’ and ‘greater Israel’ are the pillars/instruments of extended Israeli/ US powers in the middle east and central asia challenging the Silk Road/Belt and Road initiative. This topic was written about for many years at my censored by big tech (Google) prior site. At some point in time I’ll drag over some additional pertinent reports, besides the two that are included below the oped!
