United States and Turkey Agree to a Syrian “Safe Zone,” Betraying the Kurds

1. Marc Steiner – thank you for your reporting. But please take more care to pronounce consonants clearly – you sound as if you are mumbling and it is difficult to take in what you are saying! Your message is worth hearing so please take more care!

2. let me explain what ı see here being a Turkish person, These two want us to ignore what happening in our borders, they want to us do nothing while they are building a terror state in Syria. we won't be a next decades playground for western powers we will take the war to them.

3. Is 40 000 Peoples deaths by PKK also imaginary myth? United snakes of america has divided The country israel and US wants a Kurdistan that is a real trheat,, 3 million refugees in turkey and every body wants them to go back.. Theidiot erdoÄŸan is pressure to send People back and buffert zone with allies isnt as bad as US terror rebels thats has demokratik in their name haha look into what they up to in camps

4. Let me report a recent phenomenon: I see more and more youtube accounts with Western names in support of Turkey. They are all Turks, [probably from Turkish state troll factory] trying to create a fake consensus of Western support of Turkish regime. Do NOT fall for it!

5. "The Safe Zone" is just a good planned American trick to cause problem bwt Turkish and Russian relations. Turkey should understand that USA is not its ally to deal with and should play the game carefully and better by slowing down in North East of Syria. Turkey may only concentrate on Manbij as Americans promised that Kurdish forces will retreat. It is better for Turkey to solve the problem in Idlib as soon as possible while there is an agreement with Russians about this area. Turkey should wait Syrian Government to make a move against SDF to provide its territorial integrity, i think sooner or later they will do it. Until that time, unconventional warfare against SDF and American Forces could be tried. Maybe Americans can empathy with Turkish people when some coffins are sent to Yankee's home.

6. Perfect time for Greece to duck turkey lol

7. When the things come to union against Turkey all dogs are barking. accept or non accept, Turkey will do that with actions or with peace but we dont trust Usa and Turkey in other hand preparing this so get out of my face. T. President will be in duty till 2024, Turkey will protect its borders and will send these refugess to their lands with safety. Turkey thinks Syria more than their real owners they dont die for their country but we do for them. Power house Turkey talks and wants thats all folks.

8. Baris Karaagac, are u betraying your nation and your history? You called syria as an ottoman occupied zone? What the fuck man? Ottoman empire was greatest thing in whole middle east for centuries. Living together, no fighting each other. Everybody acknowledge that. You can be against erdogan i have no problem with that but if u call ottoman empire or turkey as imperialist i have to believe that you re a traitor. Because fighting against imperial powers what we do in past and also now. Unfortunately, you are at their side.

9. Sue me if you can dumbass.I want to meet you at the court.

10. Safe is a VERY relative term.

11. This Baris guy is a Feto Gulenist US puppet.

12. The irony in this video

13. If 4 million refugees have flocked to your country because of the war in Syria , you don't need permission from anyone to set up a buffer zone at the border. America has placed the Kurds on vacated land, but the real owner of that land is Syrian Arabs.

14. A Kurdish "homeland" is not warranted. The Kurds are Iranians who Syria have given refuge to. Importantly, the land holds Syria's domestic oil resources. Please do not promote a Kurdish 'homeland'.

15. turkey is trying to steal northern syria oil plain and simple

16. Save the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria! Protest against this betrayal

17. Seapeker just only One sidet supporter of PKK n pyg which is tr ist cmn in mr

18. We knew this would happen. Solidarity with Rojava because they're going to be targeted

19. Automony???? WTH? Kurds r NOT indigenous to Iraq, the Assyrian Christians r! So, y wud Kurds get autonomy n not the Assyrians? Wonder y the Kurds were kicked out from the 'Stans' region n plopped themselves in Iraq .. DUH

20. Wat do u expect from a ppl (the Kurds) that BETRAY their own country for every Tom (British), Dick (U.S.), n Harry (MOSSAD)?!? Wat comes around goes around – payback for selling out Assyrians/Iraqis!

21. Not United States. Trump. Trump alone is trying to sell the Kurds out to Turkey despite everyones (both the Republicans and the Democrats) objections. Shame!!

22. Seems like they want a "kurdish holocaust" to take place, in order to create a Kurdish state, the best ally of Israel in the middle east.

23. Well what did Kurds expect… they were a hooker and USA wasn’t gonna marry them this ain’t a film. And turkey and USA need each other much more then they like to admit

24. Damn what a mess….we never should have been there in the first place.

25. The whole movement of capitalism is a never-ending circle, the only thing that changes is the excuse given to conquer, enslave, expel, rob, murder, and control the resources of other nations, is all due to the apetite of the US consumer for oil. Really when you look at it the combustible engine is responsible for our government's actions and our modern day homes, cities, towns, and villages are responsible for the radical climactic changes happening in parts of the world we do not live. If you live in America and wipe your ass, that activity is done with paper cut from trees in the Amazon Rainforest, if you buy anything in America, a gun, a pill, a car, a house, etc., you're creating the demand for more oil. This history of wars carried on by presidents one after another the last one more efficient and adept at deciet than the previous ones, is a never-ending cycle. We keep coming around to the place where we began.

    The combustible engine and the modern home are the two chief causes of all modern-day conflicts, these two objects more than any other object made by man consume natural resources at a high rate. The demand for fuel and power is constant and the level of consumption of fuel and power is off the charts in the US. This is not a sign of development or progress that country consumes most of the world's reosurces. Its a sign of sickness, hoarding and using other's before using your own property to satisfy this demand is the only type of foreign policy it can have with other nations. Naturally, the world will resist it. The Pentagon thinking on national interest is guided by one twisted notion that if the end of resources happens it is going to happen there and not here, does nothing to retrain Americans away from this habitaul consumption pattern. The risk we run for such a high level of consumption is depletion and continuous wars. Wars, because nations will tend to defend reserves they know the public will deplete, and the whole movement of capitalism moves in a vicious circle. War, resources, higher profits…wars, resources…higher profits…once again…wars…a century and half of this circumlocution that on the downswing repeats depression and wage reductions and we are no better off.

26. 700 rockets fly from Syrien kurds too turkey 2019 and this guy say there is no problem..

27. I think people should stop call it a betrayal. It's simply a(nother) wrong step by the US. Incompetency. Turkey is in its current state on the same level with the Hitler regime. I doubt that Trump will know what's best for the US people in such cases. He possibly can't. So just let's keep support the Kurds as civilians. If we're a lot, Trump will have no option but to follow suit

28. The answer is pretty clear, Turkey wants a piece of Syria Israel wants a
    Piece and the Kurds wants a piece simple,

29. Who is rich enough to pay this expensive games?

30. America. United Kingdom 🇬🇧. France 🇫🇷. Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦. Turkey 🇹🇷. All liars.💯🇮🇱 Israeli is the main player in all this evil crusaders.

31. Last time we remember Syria is an Arab country with a kurdish minority not the other way around , so keep the non sens !

32. What an insincere report and propaganda piece for KCK.

    Not a single word of PKK/KCK which is the real reason for Turkeys action in Syria. If Kurds were the reason then Turkey would not support the Kurdish KRG in Iraq and not have accepted millions of Kurds as refuge from Syria/Iraq/Iran since the 80s.

    Also, returning Syrians refugees in Turkey to Syria can hardly be considered as imperial or ottoman goals. The racist in this discussion is Baris Karaagac together with KCK which consider certain areas in Syria to be only for kurds such that they can claim de-facto autonomous regions as he say. From Turkeys point of view, all Syrian refugees needs to be returned to Syria, irrelevant if it is northern or southern part. Close to 5 million Syrians (not 4 as Baris say in the interview) live in Turkey, which is close to 10% of the total Turkish population. Try to find any other country in the world which have accepted more refugees than Turkey.

33. This guest is surely kurdish !
