Si è conclusa PKK (gruppo armato curdo), la pace con il governo turco e il mestiere di mercenari di Obama
I padroni turchi negli ultimi bombardamenti contro l’ISIS e i curdi del PKK hanno ucciso 250 civili
Il padrone curdo Barzani recita ancora una volta l’atto di fede ad Obama
Siria e Iraq stanno crollando sotto l’attacco dell’ISIS e non basteranno i mercenari a fermarli

Non so che indottrinamento stia dando al-jazeera al lettore, ma sta avvenendo l’esatto contrario: Obama sta minacciando raid contro l’Esercito Regolare Siriano a difesa dei ribelli addestrati dall’esercito statunitense dopo il via libera del Pentagono. Inviterei prima di pubblicare a verificare le notizie, dato che non è la prima volta (e sempre rispetto all’IS). Allego due articoli.

A member of a new Syrian force trained by the U.S. military was believed to have been killed in clashes last week with al Qaeda’s Syria wing, in what would be the fledgling force’s first battlefield casualty, U.S. officials said on Monday.
The U.S. officials, who spoke to Reuters on condition of anonymity to discuss the incident, said the Syrian rebel was believed to have been killed during fighting on Friday with suspected members of Nusra Front. One of the officials described the information as preliminary.
The Pentagon declined to comment, citing “operational security reasons.”
Friday’s attack triggered the first U.S. air strikes to support the Syrian force. At the time, the U.S. military said the fighters repelled the attack, without citing casualties among the U.S.-trained force.
Defending the U.S.-trained fighters could become a growing job for United States, which has been waging air strikes against Islamic State targets in Syria.
U.S. officials disclosed to Reuters on Sunday that the United States has decided to allow air strikes to help defend against any attack on the U.S.-trained Syrian rebels, even if the attackers come from forces loyal to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
U.S. President Barack Obama has long sought to avoid any direct U.S. military confrontation with Assad’s forces, focusing instead on the battle against Islamic State.

The Pentagon, State Department and White House have so far declined to publicly detail the rules of engagement in Syria.
Still, the Obama administration appeared on Monday to play down the chances that Assad’s forces would target the U.S.-backed rebels and noted that his military had not fired on U.S.-led coalition aircraft bombing Islamic State targets in Syria.
“So far, we have seen the Assad regime abide by the admonishment that we have offered to not interfere with our activities inside of Syria,” said White House spokesman Josh Earnest.
The U.S. military launched its program in May to train up to 5,400 fighters a year in what was seen as a test of Obama’s strategy of getting local partners to combat extremists and keep U.S. troops off the front lines.
The training program has been challenged from the start, with many candidates being declared ineligible and some even dropping out. Obama’s requirement that they target militants from Islamic State has sidelined huge segments of the Syrian opposition, which is focusing instead on battling Syrian government forces.
Only around 60 have been deployed to the battlefield so far.
The past week has illustrated that, in Syria’s messy civil war, Islamic State is only one of the threats to the U.S. recruits.

The suspected militants from Nusra Front attacked U.S.-trained fighters on Friday at a compound in Syria, which was also being used by members of a Western-aligned insurgent group, known as Division 30, officials said.
The U.S. officials who disclosed the death of the U.S.-trained Syrian fighter said Division 30 also suffered casualties.
The United States is also preparing to start launching airstrikes against Islamic State from bases across the border in Turkey, after securing a long-sought agreement with Ankara.
The Pentagon said on Monday that the U.S. military started flying its first unmanned, armed drone missions from Turkey over the weekend. No strikes have been carried out yet.

Gli Stati Uniti provano ad uscire dalla situazione di stallo dinanzi all’avanzata dello Stato Islamico, dando il via libera ad un programma di bombardamenti a difesa delle milizie ribelli che combattono in Siria. L’operazione rappresenta un passo avanti concreto nell’impegno da parte di Washington nel conflitto medio-orientale.
Secondo quanto evidenziato dalla Reuters, la strategia di raid aerei è volta a difendere le milizie ribelli da “qualsiasi attacco”, includendovi quindi non solo potenziali offensive del califfato ma anche da parte del regime di Bashar Assad – contro cui i ribelli sono ormai in lotta da oltre 4 anni – aumentando quindi il rischio di scontro diretto con Damasco, anche se fonti governative statunitensi assicurino sulla decisione di considerare lo Stato Islamico quale obiettivo prioritario della missione.
Come spiegato da Alistair Baskey, portavoce del consiglio di sicurezza nazionale della Casa Bianca, l’operazione – che comprenderà anche una strategia di “fuoco difensivo di supporto” – riguarderà esclusivamente le truppe di ribelli addestrate dalle forze statunitensi. Nessun commento invece da parte dell’amministrazione e del Pentagono a proposito delle regole d’ingaggio specifiche della missione.
La mossa degli Stati Uniti arriva dopo diverse settimane di riflessione, durante le quali l’avanzata del califfato ha fatto registrare alcuni passi avanti ma anche diverse sconfitte, con la controffensiva portata dalle milizie curde in direzione di Raqqa – la “capitale” dello Stato Islamico – che ha aumentato la percezione della vulnerabilità dei fondamentalisti. Con la decisione di intraprendere una serie di raid aerei a protezione dei ribelli, la Casa Bianca cerca di buttarsi alle spalle le recenti accuse di scarso impegno nello scenario mediorientale, rappresentato da un lato dal blando programma di addestramento delle milizie ribelli e dall’altro dalla strategia “ostruzionista” rispetto all’approvvigionamento militare dei curdi.
