Trump finally has a Syria strategy. It relies on Russian soldiers and a dictator who Trump said in April had to go.

A side note
Two senior Republican US senators criticized Secretary of State Rex Tillerson on Sunday for saying that Russia may have the right approach on Syria and for what they called his lack of focus on Afghanistan and Pakistan.
US Tillerson praises Turkish courage during coup attempt
Speaking at the opening ceremony of an oil conference in Istanbul, where he received an award recognizing his four decades of work in the industry, Tillerson also said the United States saw Turkey as a partner in its push for greater energy security in the region.

Liberman: Israel will retain freedom of action in Syria
Israel is not bound by the US-Russian brokered ceasefire in Syria and will act when and where necessary to protect its security interests, Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman said on Sunday.
Liberman, on a tour of Ashkelon, said that Jerusalem is studying the understandings reached between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin regarding the cease-fire.
hmmm is this another indication Israel did not sign up like Russia, US and Jordan????? big shrug.

Russians enter Daraa, Syrians/Hizballah move out
Russian troops stepped into southern Syria for the first time Wednesday, July 13, when they entered the embattled town of Daraa to start enforcing the partial ceasefire agreed by Presidents Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin in Hamburg on July 7.
But our sources predict that, after the arrival of Russian troops in Daraa to preserve the ceasefire, both Washington and Moscow will lean hard on Jerusalem to accept Russian troops at Quneitra too, that is, opposite the Golan.Last edited by SAT; 07-12-2017, 06:35 PM.
