1. Things are starting to happen in #Syria. Aggressive Russian pilots flying over air space that had been deconflicted has today forced CENTOM to announce deployment of F-22s to the region.

2. Turkey has returned to drone attacks on the #SDF our #DefeatDaesh partnered force in Syria and is imposing more demands on Biden, NATO and Sweden to force Sweden to end Kurdish asylum and create conditions to force US Syrian withdrawal.

3. Iranian forces are a constant threat near Deir Ezor and Green Village. These events come on the heels of the Arab League lifting Bashir al-Assad's ban. The dictators want Syria. NATO head @jensstoltenberg was in DC. He and @POTUS need to set a course towards democracy

4. not just in Europe but where much of Europe's concerns emerge in the form a mass refugee migration from Assad's regime. We need to look to resettlement and building a safe prosperous Syria. Towards that end AANES has announced it would start ISIS

5. tribunals that was necessitated by the failure of the world to deal with the issue of Syrian ISIS foreign fighters. If we don't support AANES we need to deal with the ISIS fighters Erdogan has been trying to break out of prison. There is another way.

6. We work with and train the most powerful military force in Syria that is one of two defense forces for functioning democratic civil administrations. Turkey has brought nothing but jihadist indoctrination and misery for many Syrians including Christians, Ezidis and Kurds.

7. We need to recognize AANES as an autonomous sovereign entity within the Syrian nation to give official international legitimacy to judgments of the tribunals. @TheJusticeDept needs to give @StateDept direction on what is required.

Help stabilize all of northern Syria

8. and help create a democratic administration in #Idlib to participate in the creation of a new Syrian Constitution and in free and fair elections. Help stabilize all of northern Syria now and then help create a democratic administration in #Idlib to participate in

9. the creation of the new Syrian Constitution and and free and fair elections.

@JakeSullivan46 @SecDef, Turkish drones need to be addressed. That would be a gesture of commitment by the US regarding the survival of democracy in Syria.

10. End the drones. Show Syrians we won't abandon them like Trump did twice. @NSC_Spox @PentagonPresSec
