wow.. I'm going to say something. finally.
there is a twitter account that 'we' here are all familiar with that I actually cite and post from often.
If you use him/his account you can't help but notice he is radically pro-Hindu and radically anti-Christian (and radically anti-Muslim).
He all but condones (constantly) what is now exploding in his country.
He condones/excuses/rationalizes this:

BIHAR: A Christian woman was stripped naked, beaten & paraded through the streets by radical Hindus aka RSS. The group burned her house before they dragged her out onto the street. India is becoming a "dangerous place" for minorities. God forbid! pic.twitter.com/yZBmBXtIou

U.S. Media Now Filled With Former Intelligence Agents
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/spooks-turned-spox-us-media-filled-former-intelligence-officials

After years in the shadows overseeing espionage, kill programs, warrantless wiretapping, entrapment, psyops and other covert operations, national security establishment retirees are are turning to a new line of work where they can carry out their imperial duties.

That is, propagandizing the public on cable news. Reborn as cable news pundits, these people are cashing in. So many years working in the dark, only to emerge in the studio lights of the same networks that rail all day everyday against state TV from countries that America hates.

This will be a disaster if Turkey gets hold of the Syrian oil fields they will use the money to combine ISIS, Al Nusra and FSA into an army and equip them with modern weapons that can keep attacking the Abu Kamal crossing and carry out cross border attacks into Iraq.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said he plans to relocate up to three million Syrian refugees from Turkey to a strip of territory along Syria’s northern border with Turkey.

deadline expired, the Turkish president renewed his threat to attack Kurdish forces and set up the safe zone unilaterally.

“We told those who kept delaying Turkey’s proposals to eliminate the terrorist organization and make Syrian territory safe for refugees that this game is up,” he told the Turkish parliament on Tuesday.

“Turkey does not have a single day to waste in this matter. At this point, we have no alternative but to continue on our own path,” he added, indicating Ankara intends to seize the territory unilaterally,” he added.

Unnamed sources told Turkish media outlet Haberturk on Friday that 140 villages, each housing 5,000 Syrian refugees, and 10 districts, each accommodating 30,000 Syrian refugees, will be built in the safe zone, which will be 30km deep.

Erdogan confirmed the construction blitz on Tuesday, but put the number of the districts at 50.

“These towns and villages will be built with the support of the international community. We have completed the preliminary work regarding the villages and towns to be established and identified their locations,” he told lawmakers.

The Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), which has carved out a self-governing region separate from Damascus, has warned the resettlement of non-indigenous Syrians there would make Kurds a minority in their own land and could inflame ethnic tensions.

Erdogan has meanwhile continued to insist on his plan to clear his country of Syrian “guests” and resettle them in a 30km-deep area in northern Syria’s Kurdish- majority region.

Erdogan wants a large buffer zone in order to force the Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG) away from Turkey’s southern border.

Although the YPG forms the backbone of the US-backed SDF, which led the ground war against the Islamic State (ISIS) in northeast Syria, Ankara considers the group a terrorist offshoot of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK).

Observers believe Erdogan intends to kill two birds with one stone by diluting the Kurdish region with Arab refugees while simultaneously driving out Kurdish forces.

#BREAKING: SDF forces in #Syria issue a press release, “We will not hesitate for a moment to defend ourselves and call upon our people of all sects, Arabs, Kurds and Syriacs, Assyrians to join forces and defend our country against this Turkish aggression.”

What's going to happen in Raqqa and Deir Ezzor? The Kurds will break off their alliance with US leaving the few 100 US troops in Deir Ezzor with zero allies and surrounded by pro ISIS Arab tribes and the Kurds will probably ally with Assad in Hasakah allowing Assad to move in on Deir Ezzor oilfields from both sides of Euphrates.

So here is the official Turkish map, that shows the area Turkey intends to seize in Syria

• Al Hawl camp isn’t located in Turkey’s Syria safe zone

• No formal agreement between Turkey/US over custody of ISIS fighters - US officials to WSJ

There is reason for this:





It may happen that US troops will end in same embarrassing situation as Turkish troops in their observation point No. 9 in Morek.



I expect that we will see Syrian flag over CONOCO facility soon.
