Could not agree with Prime Minister @netanyahu more.

Turkey’s invasion of northern Syria attacking one of America’s most reliable allies – the Kurds -- is a nightmare for the US and Israel.

@netanyahu ISIS will return and Assad/Iran will grow stronger to the detriment of the US, Israel, and the world.
@netanyahu Mr. President, your decision regarding Syria is having grave consequences to our national security and that of our allies and partners.
@netanyahu I implore you to join my effort to:

•Impose sanctions on Turkey.
•reestablish safe zones to protect our Kurdish allies.
•and prevent the reemergence of ISIS before it’s too late.

Please change course while you still can.

Voting to legitimize an unfair process does not make it fair.

When it comes to President @realDonaldTrump the rules seemingly always have to be different.
This House vote legitimizes a process that denies the President:

▶️ the right to counsel in the Intel Committee;

▶️makes the Republican minority subservient to the will of Adam Schiff in the Intel Committee when it comes to interviewing witnesses.
These procedures are grossly different than what has been used in the past and extremely dangerous to the future of the Presidency.

I appreciate those who vote against this resolution and are fighting the good fight.

Ready to take up House bill as passed!

Awesome bipartisan takedown of Turkey’s invasion just occurred in the House with overwhelming support from Democrats and Republicans – 403-16.
I expect the Senate will take up this cause and let Turkey unequivocally know that the United States will not sit on the sidelines as they create problems for us and our allies.
Erdogan created this mess and he needs to fix it. Congress is intent on standing by the Kurds and SDF forces who helped us destroy ISIS against Turkish aggression.

Very much appreciate my Senate GOP colleagues signing onto my resolution condemning the House Dem process against President @realDonaldTrump.

Our efforts forced @SpeakerPelosi and Dem leaders to RETREAT from an unfair, underhanded process!
@realDonaldTrump @SpeakerPelosi I’ll continue to watch closely to see what follows and won’t hesitate to call them out again if necessary.
@realDonaldTrump @SpeakerPelosi Holding a vote to legitimize a behind closed doors process – without the right to confront the accuser and call witnesses on your behalf – does not fix the problem.

It would still deny President Trump the rights every American is entitled to.

Turkey and Russia reach an agreement on Syria. Erdogan got more than he bargained for in the US, and then got the green light from the Russians.

Alas, Erdogan has played it well with the two major powers in Syria.
The details of the Turkish-Russian agreement on Syria.

Importantly, the two sides affirm the Adana Agreement with Damascus in the 1990s, permitting Turkey to indefinitely operate inside Syria against the Kurds near its borders.

The two agreed to fight terrorists & separatists
Compare the Putin-Erdogan agreement with the Pence-Erdogan one.

My take on Syria: Turkey didn't needed to invade the country to make a "safe buffer zone" for allegedly Syrian refugees, they could have easily send those people over the border without the need to invade the Northern part of the country.
Turkey says it is to make them feel safe, but we all know it is for ethnic cleansing of the area and to thrive the #Kurds back into Iraq and further back into #Syria. Turkey has "captured" stolen #Afrin and wanted more land to benefit from.
Once Turkey has stolen 20+ miles from #Syria, they will hold that land forever and never give it back to #Syria again, this will be a #Cyprus 2.0 version but worse situation. With ISIS terrorists roaming free and having a free passage into #Europe.

The president's decision on #Syria based on the empty #EndlessWar rhetoric paved the way for #Erdogan & #Turkey's invasion and will be strategically disastrous for American interests for years to come as I explain👇
We chose the #Kurds as our proxy precisely because we didn't want to fight #EndlessWars - they did the heavy lifting for us. The president could have explained how he accomplished all this with his "infinite wisdom" while other presidents did not, as I explain here 👇
One outcome, among the many bad outcomes in #Syria will likely be the resurgence of #ISIS, which makes this an even worse decision than the premature withdrawal from #Iraq by Obama and #Biden. There's no excuse here. We've seen this happen before, as I explain 👇

Turkey's operation is aimed at clearing the US-backed Kurdish militia -- the People's Protection Units (YPG) -- away from Turkey's border.

'A huge mistake'

The announcement is a major blow to the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces, which the United States relied upon heavily as the most effective fighting force against ISIS and the reaction from Kurds so far has been one of anger.

Thread , Very interesting report:
#ISIS Ambassador in #Ankara !!!
by @AnneSpeckhard
1/ Abu Mansour, an electrical engineer from #Morocco, came to #Syria in 2013. He traveled from Casablanca, Morocco, to Istanbul, Turkey, and through the southern border of Turkey into Syria. His first stop was Idlib, Syria, just as hostilities between al Nusra and ISIS had begun.
2/ Abu Mansour ended up on the ISIS side of that rift and was assigned by ISIS the job of an intake official on the Syrian side of the Turkish border. His job was to receive the steady flow of foreign fighters streaming into ISIS via #Turkey.
