Tweets from David Ignatius: Turkey invasion of Northern Syria imminent.

Credit to Rachel Maddow for the heads up.

A bad situation in Northeast Syria is about to get much worse. Sources tell me that US officials have just informed the Syrian Kurds that Turkey is likely to attack on air and ground in next 24 hours. The US will do nothing. Targets are Tal Abyad and Ras al Ayn....

...Ironically Tal Abyad was the main supply route for ISIS in 2014-15 through an open border from Turkey. Turkey refused repeated requests from US to shut border. That's a big reason why US decided to partner with SDF, which took the town in the summer of 2015.

...I'm also told that Turkish attack appears coordinated with the Russians. Russian-backed forces are mobilizing to invade the Kurdish area from the south — towards Tabqa and other spots. Meanwhile, ISIS is mobilizing sleeper cells in Raqqa and attacks have taken place tonight.

1. War sucks, lets party

As a total peace pacifist and my belief that man waging war against his fellow man is a flaw in the human condition which will eventually lead to our extinction I have nothing to offer other than comedy or I'd be completely checked out and dysfunctional over the world we are leaving my kids.

Our progeny, assuming they survive, will curse us.

2. Planet Earth would be far better off with our extinction.

Let evolution make another try.

3. So, to recap

the US Troops still in the area will watch as our allies are slaughtered, for the pleasure of our sociopath in chief and his dictator friends.
