Don’t look for this in the establishment propaganda media. It doesn’t fit their narrative. Don’t expect retractions, either, from all those who condemned Trump in stinging terms for his actions in Syria.

“Military leader of Syrian Kurds thanked President Trump for cease-fire,” by Sophie Sanders, The BL, October 24, 2019:

The military leader of the Syrian Kurds, Gen. Mazloum Abdi, thanked President Trump on Wednesday, Oct. 23, for his tireless effort that stopped the brutal Turkish attack.

In the statement that was announced via Twitter by Mustafa Bali, a spokesman for the SDF, Mazloum said:

GEN.Mazloum:

1- I just spoke with President Trump and explained to him the Turkish violations of the truce that would not have been possible without his great efforts — Mustafa Bali (@mustefabali) October 23, 2019

GEN.Mazloum:

2. We THANK President Trump for his tireless efforts that stopped the brutal Turkish attack and jihadist groups on our people. — Mustafa Bali (@mustefabali) October 23, 2019

GEN.Mazloum: 3. President Trump promised to maintain partnership with SDF and long-term support at various spheres. — Mustafa Bali (@mustefabali) October 23, 2019

President Trump tweeted back:

Thank you General Mazloum for your kind words and courage. Please extend my warmest regards to the Kurdish people. I look forward to seeing you soon. @mustefabali — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 23, 2019

Mazloum’s statement was released soon after the president announced that the United States was lifting economic sanctions on Turkey for its commitment to a “permanent” cease-fire.

“It will indeed be permanent. However you would also define the word ‘permanent’ in that part of the world as somewhat questionable, we all understand that. But I do believe it will be permanent,” Trump said at a press conference on Wednesday, Oct. 23.

However, the president added that the sanctions would not be lifted if Turkey “does something we’re not happy with.”…
