CTH: Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer and the DC Decepticons are concerned about the Kurdish groups in Syria as the President Trump withdraws U.S. forces. The concern stems from a possibility of Turkey taking hostile action toward our Kurdish allies. However, a new report from the region highlights Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman is sending his forces to replace the U.S. troops.
SAUDI ARABIA – Saudi Arabia and the UAE have sent military forces to areas controlled by the Kurdish YPG group in north-east Syria, Turkey’s Yenisafak newspaper reported.
The paper said the forces will be stationed with US-led coalition troops and will support its tasks with huge military enforcements as well as heavy and light weapons.
Quoting the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, the newspaper reported that a convoy of troops belonging to an Arab Gulf state recently arrived in the contact area between the Kurdish PKK/YPG and Daesh in the Deir Ez-Zor countryside.
This comes at a time when Ankara is preparing to launch an expanded military operation with the Free Syrian Army against the Kurdish PKK group in the northeast of Syria. (read more)
Now let’s consider the brilliance of this move.
First, remember Turkish President Recep Erdogan was the antagonist in the Kashoggi matter and Erdogan orchestrated the blame toward Saudi Crown Prince MbS. There is no better motivated mid-east ally to protect the Kurds against any military action by Turkey other than MbS. No doubt MbS and UAE will send their best forces.
Secondly, what military equipment will MbS and the UAE be shipping along with their military troops? Those would be military purchases directly from the U.S.
Third, who stood up against international pressure and refused to condemn MbS over the Kashoggi matter? That would be a strategic U.S. President Trump. MbS owes a favor; see how that works? keep reading
Watch the pols, pundits, profs, and professional poofters who have been whining about “power vacuums” and “abandoning allies” turn on a dime and focus on the next anti-Trump fake news hysteria.
Protecting the Kurds, allies and true warriors, is a must, good to hear.
Report is dated November 22, 2018. Wishful thinking. They are not replacing (tentatively) withdrawing US troops.
Same news site, Middle East Monitor, has a report dated December 22, 2018: Kurds calls on France to take bigger role in Syria after US exit.

Not Saudis.
Operation Khashoggi Bear… and a President who is juuuuuust a little smarter than the average bear!
Once again, Trump plays 3D Chess while the left struggles with checkers.
I glad Kurds have an advocate. I concerned about US nukes based in Turkey. Merry Christmas, everybody!
Yea why can’t Saudi Arabia and Israel get the Middle East under control? Why is it always our responsibility?
