It became known what US sanctions imposed against Turkey

US President Donald Trump decided to impose restrictive measures against Ankara. This was announced by Head of State Department Mike Pompeo.

Trump, as it turns out, signed a decree that implies the imposition of sanctions against Turkey for conducting hostilities in northern Syria. According to Pompeo, the sanctions are designed to stop the military operation carried out by the Turkish army on Syrian territory - in areas where the Kurds are densely populated.

What specific sanctions against Turkey did Trump impose?

We are talking about restrictive measures against private individuals and legal entities that are associated with the Turkish authorities and are related to the military operation, called Ankara "Peaceful Source". These individuals will be designated by the US Department of State and the Treasury Department.

It is added that sanctions should prevent further actions "to undermine peace in northeast Syria."

The US Treasury has already taken advantage of his opportunity and imposed personal sanctions against Turkey’s energy and defense ministers Fatih Donmez and Hulusi Akar. The deputy chairman of the main Turkish political force - the party of justice and development - also fell under sanctions. The name of this politician is Suleiman Soilu. Under the sanction pressure from the United States, the above-mentioned agencies, the Turkish Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Energy, also fell. It is prohibited to conduct transactions with them, to conclude new contracts.

Meanwhile, Turkish Minister of Defense Hulusi Akar, as the Turkish news agency Anadolu writes, held “constructive telephone conversations” with Russian counterpart Sergei Shoigu. They were dedicated to the situation in northern Syria.

And how to understand this? The whole world imposes sanctions against the Turks, but what are we?

Therefore, the Turks can kill the Kurds in Syria!
Interesting logic!

[Gray brother]

Quote from Uncle Lee

in Syria!

What is the territory of Syria? They have bitten off a piece of the country and are not subordinate to the Syrian government - this is the territory of Free Kurdistan.
And since they claim that they have their own country, they themselves must protect it, in my opinion this is true.

[Tatyana]

There is no and never was any betrayal of Kurds by the Russian Federation! And that's why!

The Russian Federation originally advocated and stands for a single and indivisible ATS. The Kurds didn’t do anything else with the Russian Federation.
Syrian Kurdson the contrary, with US intervention and support - advocate exclusively for the separation of Kurds from the SAR and for the creation of their own Kurdish state on the Syrian land.
In other words, Syrian Kurds are classic SEPARATISTS! Even the proposal to create national autonomy in the SAR - because of US support - did not suit and does not suit the Kurds!

And what will change in the future if the Russian Federation fights for Kurdish separatists? But nothing!
Kurds as were the SEPARATISTS, they will remain so.

Then what is the point of the Russian Federation to save the enemy, then to fight with him ?!

However, this is, in fact, the author proposes! Throwing it all off by the Kurdish betrayal of Russia by Russia and referring to the historically hostility to Russia of Turkey with its eternal Ottoman revanchism! And forgetting that the Kurds in this case, in the fight against ISIS, were only temporary allies for the ATS.
This author still has an erroneous and completely unpragmatic opinion.

Where is it? On the map there is Syria. The so-called Free Kurdistan is not recognized by any country.

When the Germans "chewed off" a "piece" of the USSR, there were Romanian units in Odessa. The Romanians hoped that Hitler would give them such a territorial gift. According to your logic, Romanians also need to be justified, how do you justify the Turks? After all, the USSR did not own this territory at that time either.

All these "confessions" and "non-recognition" are just empty shaking of the air.
It is necessary to look at the actual state of affairs, and not that someone outsider thinks about these matters.

When the Germans "chewed off" a "piece" of the USSR. There were Romanian units in Odessa.

At that time, Odessa was one of the eastern territories of the Reich, yes.

Quote: Stas157

By your logic, do Romanians also have to be justified?

Why should I justify them? Together with the Germans, they decided to live at our expense, but in 1944 they realized that this approach was unpromising and switched to the side of the USSR.

So the Turks decided to chop off a piece of Syria. The latest news for those (I don’t exactly mean you) who thinks that Assad is extremely happy that the Turks are in Syria to fight the Kurds:

In response to the Turkish offensive in northern Syria, official Damascus sent its troops there.

Syrian authorities and Kurdish rebels signed a preliminary military agreement on joint action against Turkish troops

Assad still could not fight the Kurds with his hands, so he would not have received these territories in any form.
Therefore:

Well, so the power has changed - now the Kurds have a new dad.

[KCA]

And when Israel conducts military operations on the territory of Lebanon, are you also outraged and demand sanctions imposed on the whole world, and should Netanyahu be brought to trial at the Hague? And when the United States and its servants bomb the territory of Syria? Or is it possible for Israel to kill those who threaten it in a foreign country, but not for Turkey? Lame logic

It’s just that the Kurds didn’t put it on that ... Akella missed ... So they reap the benefits. Syria bet on Russia and wins, and the Kurds in the United States lose and this whole situation is an example to others.

This is their choice. They were offered to join Syria on the basis of autonomy, and then all of this would not have happened - they refused.

I'll tell you more, right on the same Kurdish issue - in 2015, there was a civil war in Turkey itself, the Turks were storming cities inhabited by Kurds using artillery and aviation. And no "ko-ko-ko" about "unfortunate Kurds" and "shelter", and even more so there were no sanctions against Turkey, because Turkey was an ally of the United States.

Those who are here to pity now press in the comments here, look pretty funny against this background (I refresh you gentlemen’s memory - today it’s free))).

[Moskovit]

I looked at such people in Germany. Plus, actually on the Kurds themselves. How are they fighting for their brothers! How noisy! What a hot youth! At the demonstration go with flags, sing, protest. But for some reason they don’t want to go to fight for their own people.

They had a quarrel with Russia on purpose, but the opposite effect was obtained because one uncle by the name of Putin turned out to be smarter.

You will receive partisanship there in full. Including on its territory - Jizra and Silopi have not forgotten yet?
You can get a "safe zone" there only with the assistance of the Syrian government, but while you occupy part of the territory of a foreign country, they will not be interested in cooperating with you.

[no better place for]

Once the whole world introduced sanctions against Russia beyond the Crimea, also calling aggressors and murderers, and Turkey did not support them.

Only ... "The East is a delicate matter" and the Kurds are a bit smarter than the ukroshumers, instead of jumping: "bezmirsnami!", They ran to apologize to Assad.

[Demon_is_ada]

It seems to me that this is exactly so ... I already wrote somehow that he will make the territory loyal to Turkey in Syria, that is, in fact, his what is not an empire? But literally last night very interesting facts appeared that I hadn’t noticed before ... I all thought that Erdogan was feeding Ishilov’s, all kinds of Democrats and other militants, after the start of his operation it became more or less clear that they were going to the troops But the question is, why did he promise such a thing that they tear off slippers and the army does not have time for them, which already led to tactical defeats? And everything is simple, then an administration will be formed from them, that is, rather bread and honorable, along the perimeter of the zone, army checkpoints plus local militias and the settlement of refugees from Turkey in this area. But he warns them that temporarily the Turkish commandant will be their commander, and then how will the Syrian troops approach, then they will already be bosses ... And when will the Syrians come to the other side of the Euphrates? Very soon ...
So a lot of pluses, the Democrats will squeeze out the Kurds and they will ensure the security of the Turkish borders, even when Assad’s troops come up. Trade will trample, by the way, the Turks have expanded and repaired all roads to the border supposedly for the transfer of the army So Erdogan is not so simple ... either he brilliantly improvises, or this plan came to him a few years ago

[rocket757]

Sultan is a hit! And someone expected that he had some other interests, such as peaceful and universal? Ha ha ha ....

[Paul Siebert]

It happened that we could not have expected - the Kurds turned to face Assad. Oil areas pass into the hands of Damascus. Kurdish armed formations become units of the government army. Turks suffer losses. Erdogan made the main mistake in his life - he decided that he grabbed God by the beard.
Now he has very few allies - Putin and a couple of Gulf countries. We see the sunset of neosultan.

[protoss]

But the inclusion of RPK in CAA is a very gross mistake. for Turkey, this is tantamount to including saa in the RPK and makes the Asadites a natural target for the Turkish army.
although the unification of these two LGBT armies, of course, has long been obvious.

[Paul Siebert]

Are you the government army in the blue row? Strange opinion ...

it is necessary if the main media person of this army is Mr. (and you, apparently, comrade) Hassan Suheil.
