French President Hollande, who has not only pushed the knife further into the heart of the French economy and made certain that no trace of freedom will remain in France is now criticizing Turkey for its action against Kurdish fanatics and Western-backed Kurdish militias in Syria. In addition, Hollande is warning Russia not to become a “protagonist” in the war.
Hollande stated that “multiple, contradictory interventions carry the risk of a general inflammation.”
He added that Russia needs to be a “player in negotiations, not a protagonist in the action” and that it should join the alleged “anti-ISIL coalition” led by the U.S.
Hollande has, of course, been fine with Turkey supporting ISIS and other Western-backed terrorists on its soil since the beginning of the Syrian crisis. Only when it comes to attacking Western-backed Kurds who are obviously being used to “federalize” Syria is Hollande willing to issue warnings to Turkey. The issue for Hollande is clearly not a violation of Syrian national sovereignty or international law, it is going beyond the marching orders given to Turkey by the NATO powers regarding a “safe zone” in Northern Syria that is the crime.
As for Russia, (Hollande’s misuse of the word “protagonist” notwithstanding), the message is simple – stop fighting terrorism in Syria and do as you’re told. Hollande is literally warning the Russians that they should stop their military operations and follow orders given by the U.S.-led coalition, the apparent arbiters of all that is just and legal in the world.
While Hollande is likely to be taken as seriously by Erdogan as by Assad and every other national leader in the world, his statements nonetheless reveal a staggering level of bravado and arrogance for the President of a country teetering on the edge of obscurity and collapse.
For its part, Turkey has refused to buckle to the public statements of the United States with Omer Celik stating that “No one has the right to tell us which terrorist organization we can fight against.” It is not likely that the addition of Hollande to the pile will make any further difference in the Turkish position.
Despite the public disagreement, Turkey has sent every signal possible to announce that they intend to stick with the NATO line of destroying the secular government of Bashar al-Assad and replacing it with a government or governments beholden and favorable to Washington and the Anglo-American oligarchy.
Obviously, a “buffer zone” and/or a “no-fly zone,” of course, is tantamount to war and an open military assault against the sovereign secular government of Syria because the implementation of such a zone would require airstrikes against Assad’s air defense systems.
With the establishment of this “buffer zone,” a new staging ground will be opened that allows terrorists such as ISIS and others the ability to conduct attacks even deeper inside Syria. While one wishes for the best of all possible worlds – the roll back of Western-backed terrorists and Kurdish fanaticism while, at the same time, seeing the Syrian government regain control over all of its territory – we cannot wish away the facts. Amidst the tangled web of political and geopolitical interests at play in regards to this invasion, the fact is that neither the United States, the Kurdish militias, or the Turks have the best interest of Syria or the Syrian people at heart.

Given the amazing success of his domestic and foreign policies, Russia should listen to him?
Hollande is bought and paid for…They have evidence on him as a Pedophile so he says whatever they tell him to say.
here’s a cynical reality….
No matter what you do, or what you say….nothing will change with this ME dilemma. The game is being played for high stakes.
Funny how none of the authors seem to discuss the benefit to Israel in all of these wars.
Americans must be stupid….what percent of americans voting will vote for Hillary?
Americans are just as guilty as the leaders perpetrating this horror on Syria because of their willingness to pay taxes for genocide and culture destruction in many parts of the world.
What’s wrong with Americans? They cannot see how they are being fooled, or they just don’t care? Which is it?
I think both are the correct answer.
The French are experts in creating a mess both at home and abroad, especially when it comes to international politics. French history is nothing more than a history of quarrels and revolutions. Napoleon I invaded Russia while Napoleon III invaded Crimea. I see that they are picking a new quarrel with Russia, when they should be doing their best to establish an economic and political relationship, especially with their current immigration and economic problems.
French masses are unable to identify Charlie Hebdo, Paris Bataclan, Nice and Jaques Hamel ‘murder’ as complete hoaxes and Hollande’s justification for martial law. Liberty, fraternity, equality has become ‘merde, merde, merde.’ I’m sure Putin could offer far more relevant and succinct advice to this French dancing puppet.
Hmmm….he’s already been forced to stand the cost of the two cancelled Mistrale Helicopter Carriers subsequently dumped on Turkey.
Then been made to expose his own people to False Flag Hebdo, Paris & Nice fear-mongering terrorist exercises with mossad & French Secret Service co-ordination.
Anybody any ideas what else he can do to shoot himself in the foot.
Feckin EEJIT.
Bottom line is, these corrupt GANGS, nato, turkey, us and the Kurds, that are trying to sell themselves as legitimate governemnts, have become so twisted in their lies and corruption that are now fighting themselves.
The Kurds, paid henchmen of the US and allies with turkey, have gone off the reservation and are committing offensives that serve only their purpose.
The US and their gang buddies don’t like it and are now trying to reign them in.
How can any respectful entity trust or believe anything these gangs say or do when they continually engage in lying, backstabbing, and double crossing each other and everyone else.
This is where the whole planet needs to rise and rid themselves of these horrible violent parasites.
