They want to get to the tzadik's grave”>Zelensky to stop planned attacks against Russians in Syria, writes Stephen Sahiouni.
The war in Ukraine is planned to expand into Syria. Leaked classified documents reveal that the Ukrainian military planned to attack Russian troops stationed in Syria in an attempt to distract Russia and cause losses and casualties away from the battlefield in Eastern Europe.
Jack Teixeira, a young member of the Massachusetts Air National Guard, was arrested by the FBI in an investigation into leaked classified military intelligence information that was posted on the Discord chat platform.
Among the documents were details of the planning and assessment of attacks on Russian military capabilities in Syria that were to be carried out by the US military partner there, the SDF (Syrian Democratic Forces, ed.).
The SDF controls northeastern Syria and its troops are made up of about one-third Kurds and two-thirds Arab tribesmen.
The Kurdish semi-autonomous region in Syria was created by the US alliance with the communist administration of the Kurds under the leadership of Ilham Ahmed and General Mazloum Abdi.
The area controlled by the US-Kurdish Alliance is not populated by a majority of Kurds, but Kurds constitute a significant ethnic population.
After receiving financial and military support from the US, the Kurds were able to carry out a program of ethnic cleansing that displaced the original inhabitants from their homes, lands and businesses.
The SDF, working alongside US occupation forces in Syria, were slated to be supplied with drones and other equipment to attack Russian troops in Syria. A Russian airbase on the coast in Latakia was said to be targeted, as well as other areas.
Ukrainian military intelligence planned the attacks in Syria using the US-allied paramilitary force SDF in order to open a second front in the war with Russia.
Strategic planning envisions Russia being distracted by attacks on its forces in Syria and weakened in its military capacity.
Ukrainian President Zelensky, a former TV comedy star, canceled the operations while they were still in the planning stages.
The Russian military was invited into Syria in October 2015, when the terrorist group Jibhat al-Nusra was at its height and threatening to take over the coastal region. After the Russian military arrived in Syria, they together with the Syrian Arab Army managed to repel the terrorists.
Today, the central government in Damascus controls almost all of Syria except for the Kurdish region described earlier and the small province of Idlib in the northwest, which is under the occupation of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, the current name of Jibhat al-Nusra.
Mohammed al-Julani controls Idlib. It started in Iraq with Al Qaeda, then was sent to Syria by the leader of ISIS, and ended up holding about 3 million civilians hostage in Idlib while receiving humanitarian aid from the US, UN, EU and other charities.
The Russian presence in Syria today can be called a peacekeeping mission. They still attack ISIS and terrorist positions, but most of their presence is in keeping the peace between the Kurds and their archenemy, Turkey.
If not for the Russian military presence in Syria, Turkey would have pushed further into the Kurdish region and there could have been massacres.
Russia maintains working relations with Syria, Iran and Turkey and is conducting negotiations for a peaceful settlement of the Syrian crisis.
Turkey was a US ally but felt betrayed by US support for the Kurdish paramilitary YPG, which consists of the main YPG military group, which is linked to the PKK, a terrorist group responsible for some 30,000 deaths over decades.
If the Ukrainian plan to attack the Russians in Syria had been carried out, the response could have been a joint Turkish-Russian military operation against the Kurds, which could have resulted in the deaths or injuries of American soldiers and possibly ended with the US occupation forces withdrawing into Iraq.
If Zelensky had not stopped the plans, Syria could have retaken the northeastern edge from the Kurds, and Turkey could have defeated the SDF and the YPG. This would leave Idlib and the terrorists sitting on the border without their US backers.
This could have led to the escape of the terrorist occupiers of Idlib under the cover of darkness and the release of 3 million hostages after more than a decade of captivity.
Under the plan, the SDF would ask for protection and a promise that they would not be revealed as the source of the planned attacks on the Russian army in Syria and instead make it appear that US-backed terrorists holding Idlib would be blamed.
Turkey has military units occupying Idlib and if the plan was carried out, Russia could attack Idlib as the source of the planned attacks and it would be a direct confrontation between Turkey and Russia on Syrian soil.
The US may have ordered Zelensky to stop planned attacks against Russians in Syria. Washington. insists on remaining occupying bases in Syria to prevent Syria from accessing its energy resources and thereby prevent the country from recovering from the US-NATO attack on it that began in 2011. The US failed in its plan to install an American puppet in Syria, but they managed to make sure they had a compliant and easily manipulated leader in Ukraine.
