There are signs that the long expected liberation of the Daraa region in southwest Syria is about to begin. After a month of negotiations between Russia, Israel, Jordan and the U.S. no peaceful solution has been found. The various terrorist forces in the (green) area, including al-Qaeda aligned HTS and groups loyal to the Islamic State, have rejected all negotiations. For over a month Russian negotiators tried to convince locals to give up and to reconcile with the government. But the hardliners under the rebels have killed anyone who talked with the Russians. The U.S. government has warned against a Daraa operation and threatened to intervene.

So things changed over the weekend since this article was written the middle of last week as demands from the US to NOT start this clean-up in southwestern Syria have diminished … and it seems that this might be one of the major agreements that John Bolton is prepping for the July Putin-Trump summit.
About 4:50 minutes into Ron’s Paul’s Liberty Report you will hear some of the great news. I would hope this signals the end to the stupid CIA move to attempt to use their ISIS forces in Syria to further the USA’s distribution of democracy which has ruined the infrastructures in Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya not to mention making millions of war refugees and driving Christians from all three of these countries.
Reflecting back over 150 years ago, just imagine if the British Empire would have not only inserted rebels in the United States but then followed up with “boots on the ground” for force “regime change” to get Lincoln out of office. Yup, you got it, the same people today who says Assad has to go would not be for the first Republican president being overthrown by another nation’s rebel-backed forces or forces of their own.
Maybe someone looked at history this weekend and remembered how complicated it was then major forces are at work in areas under wartime duress. Maybe they remembered the “Trent Affair” where:
So on November 8, 1861, he [ U.S. naval officer, Captain Charles Wilkes ]steamed out into the Bahama Channel, fired twice across the Trent’s bow, sent a boat’s crew aboard, seized the Confederate commissioners, and bore them off in triumph to the United States, where they were held prisoner in Boston. Wilkes was hailed as a national hero. Congress voted him its thanks, and Secretary of the Navy Gideon Welles commended him.
This triggered an uproar in Britain. Eleven thousand British troops were sent to Canada, the British fleet was put on a war footing, with plans to capture New York City, and a sharp note was dispatched to Washington demanding return of the prisoners and an apology. Lincoln, concerned about Britain entering the war, issued an apology and ordered the prisoners released.
