Hittade på nätet denna analys. Min kommentar är att det skulle verkligen krävas en stor false flag-operation för att legitimera en fullskalig attack mot Damaskus. Men man vet aldrig. Hursomhelst så finns det länkar i originalinlägget för den som vill kolla:
KURDISH LAND BRIDGE TO ISRAEL?http://www.moonofalabama.org/2018/03/weekly-review-and-open-thread-2018-11.html#c6a00d8341c640e53ef01b7c95973e5970b
Russia, Turkey and the United States have come to a tacit agreement that the final settlement of the Syrian civil war will include population transfers where isolated problem populations are "ethnically cleansed" and moved to larger, economically and logistically more viable larger units. The relationship of these "cantons" to each other and to the Syrian state will be a matter for the political process.
The United States did not protest the ethnical cleansing of Afrin of its almost exclusively Kurdish population. These Kurds are needed to strengthen the U.S. occupation zone east of the Euphrates. America nor Israel has any use for Afrin, especially since dreams of a Kurdish or ISIS corridor to the Mediterranean have permanently been curtailed. On the other hand, the U.S. has shown its willingness to massacre hundreds of Syrians and Russians to demonstrate its ownership of some key points of Syrian geography. The locations of these points of contention might reveal a grand geopolitical scheme of the U.S. and its allies. The points:
Everything east of the Euphrates, including the eastern bank of Deir ez-Zor.
The oilfields east of Deir ez-Zor.
Al Tanf border crossing and surrounding area on the main road from Damascus to Baghdad.
The Daraa border crossing, just south of Daraa.
Several key places are held by ISIS, possibly with the tacit support of USA.
The T3 (and earlier T2) pumping stations along the abandoned Kirkuk–Tripoli pipeline (Now Kirkuk–Baniyas pipeline)
East bank of the Euphrates south of Deir ez-Zor.
It is claimed that the reason the U.S. need to occupy the Al Tanf border crossing is to block the land corridor between Iran and Lebanon and thus prevent Iran from supplying Hezbollah. The real reason may be different. If pro-U.S. and pro Israel forces managed to take control of the Syrian side of the Jordan–Syria and the Iraq–Syria borders then it would enable Israel to supply a a Kurdish protectorate in eastern Syria. The area from the rebel enclave around Daraa to Amu Kemal on the Euphrates is mainly desert. If pipelines could be build on this strip of land then Israel could steal oil from "Kurdish" oilfields and even water from the Euphrates.
The United States may be about to start a land invasion of Syria. The offensive would start from the U.S. base at the Al Tanf border crossing and extend through Abu Kemal to the American and Kurdish-held areas on the eastern bank of the Euphrates. The troops would be supplied through Jordan. It is possible that Britain would also take part in this operation.
The 2,400 man strong U.S. 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit arrived in Haifa in Israel on March 14, 2018 aboard the three US Navy ships of the Iwo Jima amphibious ready group. The Marines may be on their way to the Al Tanf base through Jordan. Another 200 U.S. troops are said to have arrived in Al Tanf the previous week. Unconfirmed rumors claim that an additional 2,300 British troops also arrived at the base along with Challenger tanks and Cobra and Black Hawk helicopters.
The attack would start with with a massive cruise missile launch on Damascus from NATO war ship. The ships are said to be assembling in the eastern Mediterranean, the Persian Gulf and the Red Sea. Russia has promised to retaliate against any ships launching missiles at Syria. This warning was first stated by the Russian General Staff on March 13 and again on March 17. The missile attack would however be only the first part of a NATO attack. It would be quickly followed by a land invasion from Al Tanf.
Attacks by the the U.S. and U.S. proxies have the tendency to coincide with ISIS attacks in the same area. ISIS has recently launched massive attacks along the Euphrates river and more may be planned.
Any Western aggression on Syria would have to be preceded by a false-flag provocation by Syrian opposition forces. Britain pays lip service to international law and it could not launch a war of aggression without an effective propaganda campaign. Russia claims to have information that a staged chemical weapons attack is being prepared. The March 17th warning specifically says that the preparations are happening in southern Syria near the Jordanian border under U.S. supervision.
