Mattis lying? Indirect US talks for ISIS fighters to leave Raqqa

>According to DEBKAfile’s military and intelligence sources, the negotiations are taking place between the US-sponsored Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), which is dominated by the powerful YPG Syrian Kurdish militia allied with Syrian Arabs. As a result, few ISIS fighters remain in Raqqa. This force is American-trained and armed, and fights under the command of US special forces officers.
>The US was motivated in letting these talks go forward by three considerations:
>1. A deal would accelerate Raqqa’s fall with a minimum of casualties for the attackers.
>2. Raqqa’s liberation would leave almost the entire stretch of Kurdish-ruled territory in northern Syria purged of jihadist terrorists. American forces and their Kurdish allies could then go for control of the northern section of the Syrian-Iraqi border. US and Jordanian special forces, combined with an American-trained Syrian rebel group, have been conducting a parallel campaign for the southern section of that border.
>3. If Raqqa can be taken without a battle, the United States can dispense with its Kurdish partners. This would remove a substantial impediment from the path of President Donald Trump’s diplomacy for drawing Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan back from his rapidly-advancing rapprochement with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
>For Erdogan, any boost for the Kurdish cause is a red flag. He is therefore fiercely opposed to their participation in the liberation of Raqqa.
>The negotiations with ISIS have been ongoing for about ten days. They came on the heels of a deal for ending the Battle for Tabqa, a key >Euphrates River town and air base about 50km from Raqqa, by allowing ISIS defenders safe passage to the two Syrian Desert locations, after laying down their arms.
>However, in the case of a deal for Raqqa, the Russians have just thrown a spanner in the works.

Of course why would anyone doubt such an established and verified brand as DEBKAfile and their plethora of military and intelligence sources

>>128704377

Trump gave Mattis & the pentagon full control over the operation in Syria.
Big mistake.

Well well, the military collaborating with insurgent groups and the government to keep the war running, the arms sales going, the cash flowing, and the Israelis a blank cheque to continue fucking about. Who'd have thought that?

while I agree this is fake, there's a bit of truth to it.
saudis buy most of the oil ISIS gathers in their controlled territory. which is then bought by US.

still he's dumb as fuck so he probably doesn't even remember saying that anyway, neither does his voters.

Making a plan to defeat ISIS is not defeating ISIS

>>128707163
No making. He said he had a plan! and that he would keep his promises!

this has been going on for a while. About two weeks ago a convoy of issis "escaped" and got their ass rammed in by RuAF. It's a debatable tactic when you consider the amount of care supposedly given to civilians. (air strikes don't seem to need the same level of care)
BTW RU knows about this plan and they are ready and waiting to blow up the convoys

>According to DEBKAfile
this is legit, Israeli intelligence based in Jerusalem is always 100% correct. our greatest ally in the middle east is trying to warn us that Trump and Mattis are trying to screw us

thank you for posting this, we must defeat ISIS and protect our greatest ally in the middle east
