.....good health, at my request, Pastor Brunson, who had many years of a long prison term remaining. Also remember, and importantly, that Turkey is an important member in good standing of NATO. He is coming to the U.S. as my guest on November 13th. #ENDENDLESSWARS

This means sustaining UK presence there beyond short, sharp in-out ops is extremely difficult without US presence. French SF face same dilemma.

British military chiefs & ministers set to reassess plans when US intentions become clearer.

"Russians have accepted that US sanctions will probably remain in place for the long term, inevitably distorting the market as Russians create alternative supply chains that aren’t always conducive to American interests,” Huntsman wrote in an opinion piece http://archive.is/a3B1v published by the Wall Street Journal."

We may be in the process of leaving Syria, but in no way have we Abandoned the Kurds, who are special people and wonderful fighters. Likewise our relationship with Turkey, a NATO and Trading partner, has been very good. Turkey already has a large Kurdish population and fully....

Strange place to sstart the operation though. It's border crossing between Iraqi Kurdistan and Syrian Rojava...

They plan to cut supply route from Kurds in Iraq.

Turkish officials said that one of the main target of the airstrikes last night was aimed at cutting the supply line between Iraq & Syria before the operation.

Boris and Trump on course for public disagreement?
Prime Minister Boris Johnson says he is prepared to intervene over the return of an American diplomat's wife who left the UK despite being a suspect in a fatal crash inquiry.
Anne Sacoolas is a suspect in inquiries into the death of motorcyclist Harry Dunn in Northamptonshire on 27 August.
The US State Department said diplomatic immunity was "rarely waived".
Mr Johnson plans to raise the case with the US ambassador and, if needed, was prepared to speak with the White House.

This not going away any time soon:

The parents of a teenage motorcyclist killed in a crash have said "we will go to Washington if we have to", to secure the return of a US diplomat's wife suspected of driving the other vehicle.
