As Turkey marches forward in its plan to
establish “Buffer Zones”
in Syria, the nature of the Turkish-backed forces and the real purpose
of the Turkish invasion are becoming more and more clear for all to see.
As many in the alternative media have realized for quite some time,
Turkey’s military incursion
into Syria is an attempt to establish the solidification of
ISIS/terrorist staging grounds inside Syria as well as to prevent the
solidification of Kurdish forces in both Syria and Turkey. While the
mainstream media tends to present Turkish-backed forces as moderates
fighting against ISIS, the truth is that the Turk-backed fighters are
barely distinguishable from ISIS. In fact, in many cases, the groups are
one in the same.
They do, however, provide a good pretext for claiming victories over
ISIS, justifying, and maintaining a hold on territory seized by these
terrorists after they have “driven out ISIS.”
Interestingly enough, Turkish-backed forces are reported by the
Western mainstream corporate press as having doubled their ranks by
conquering ISIS territory in Syria. Yet, in what other war does an army
double its ranks simply by capturing territory? How would Turk-backed
forces do so? That is, how would they do so unless ISIS fighters were
joining their ranks as territory was “captured?”
Regardless, the nature of the Turkish-backed forces was recently
put on display after the Turk-backed “Free Syrian Army,” along with a
number of actual Turkish military forces, managed to
capture a number
of Syrian military soldiers after killing eight and wounding “tens” of
soldiers. After capturing them, the coalition members then surrounded
the Syrian soldiers, berating and slapping them throughout the course of
the video along to the chant of “Allahu Akbar” so familiar to
Neanderthal barbarians fighting against the Syrian government all across
the country.
The Free Syrian Army, of course, is notorious for savagery and
brutality as well as heinous war crimes despite being labeled “moderate”
by the West.
The video can be viewed here:
No one knows for sure what exactly has happened to the soldiers as of
yet but some believe that they may be used as a bargaining chip with
the Syrian government who is now engaging in greater cooperation with
Kurdish forces as the battle for Manbij looms and the possibility of a
direct Turkey-Syria confrontation is on the horizon. Indeed, as part of
this coalition, we have already seen a direct military operation against
the Syrian army. This was bound to happen eventually as the Turks have
invaded and occupied Syrian territory while the Syrian government has
vowed to take that territory back sooner rather than later.
Still, it is ironic that Turkey’s military operation, in part
designed to keep Kurdish forces from forming a united front, is actually
succeeding in forcing greater cooperation between Syrian Kurdish forces
and the Syrian government.
One can view photos of the soldiers in the article by Paul Antonopoulos of
al-Masdar News entitled “
Photos Released Of Syrian Army Soldiers Injured By Turkish Military Near Manbij.”
