I'm seeing some interesting things about the Kurds and Turkey.

First, the letter Trump gave to Arrogant uh, Erdogan, was more of a slap in the face than any "diplomatic" message I have ever seen. In fact, it looked like Trump was trying to goad him into doing something reckless.

Next, we are getting reports of burns from chemical weapons. White phosphorus, to be exact. Strangely, we are shown survivors who have burns, but not melted flesh, no facial injuries and no missing pieces burned away. I have not heard of pictures of non-surviving victims of white phosphorous and the stuff is pretty deadly. It is allowed as an illuminator and is forbidden as a weapon.

Syria seems rather blase' about the Turks coming into their land and waltzing around on Syrian territory.

The United Nations seems awfully quiet about this. You would think that between condemning Israel and financing half the "escorts" in New York, they would find time to maybe do their job.

Actual battles and skirmishes are pretty wispy. I see stock footage, some accounts of "fierce" battles, but casualties are VERY low and there are surprisingly few pics in an age of cell phones and the like. Right now I am listening to

...but no pictures.


I do not know what is going on, but we are not getting the full story.

How can a Brit reporter have clothes that stink of death from helping possibly hundreds of bodies get recovered from destroyed buildings while headlines tell of ONE Turkish soldier killed and another wounded?

It is not that "something" is up. Several things are "up".
