Remember: the debunked Steele Dossier was also buried in "highly classified" information. Americans have seen this exact playbook before during the Russia Hoax, where bad actors weaponized intelligence to launch a baseless narrative that undermined President Trump, deceived the

Democratic Kurdish group exiled by the PKK/SDF 👇 The dismantling of the PKK breathes into regular Kurdish and minority political groups who can now organize, associate publicly and return to their homes without PKK repression.
Abdallah Kado originally from Debersiya, Yekiti leader in exile - the 2nnd party in the Kurdish National Council (ENKS) - says he is optimistic that the General Security forces entering Hasaka and Qamishli early tomorrow morning will not face nor cause problems.

Bo medyayên li rojavayi de: ji kerema xwe, edî nabêjin ku rêxistina PKKê û parçeyen wî bi tenê dixwazin “demokrasi” û xelkê Kurd, û mafên û çandîya Kurd biparezin. Zîhniyeta PKKê û berjewendiyên wan ji yên Kurdan cuda ne. Li rastiya wan binêrin.👇 https://t.co/0Kmb74GAfg

Şam ve SDG arasından varılan anlaşma, Suriye’de yeni bir döneme yeni bir sınamaya yol açacaktır. Dışardan gazel okumanın zamanı değil. Suriye kana doydu; Silahların susmasını sağlayan her anlaşma muteberdir ve kıymetlidir. Hayırlı uğurlu olsun!

One of the reasons that I don’t accept nationalist gloating towards Kurds from either Arabs or Turks is because the whole gamut of problems that culminated in the rise of the PKK stem precisely from Arab and Turkish secular-nationalism. They got their own states, and in doing so,
