World Peace “Lennon Ivan Style” – Part 206:

World Peace “Lennon Ivan Style” – Part 206: As a continuation from my last blog whereby I believe the root of “World Peace” is centered on peace in the Middle East with the first step being negotiated peace between Israel and the Palestinians, I would like to remain objective and independent in my views such that I would like to today bring Iraq into my views as they seem to be the closest at this time to a full fledge civil war of rage like wild animals stuck together in a cage. However, it is important to note that Israel and Palestine seem to be awakening from their hatred induced coma state with the potential for peace negotiations to be resumed in the near future in the United States, while Egypt continues to operate in supremacy domination mode whereby the minority Christian military continues to hold on to power while the Muslim majority is fuming at the seams hoping to awaken from this horrible dream. As for the Syrians, both sides are still in anger induced coma state for the mentally insane such that millions of Syrians continue to suffer each and every day. In terms of the Russians and Ukrainians, they seem to have entered into a political war game whereby neither party wishes to concede but rather seems to prefer to enter into a civil war and commit dirty deeds. While Israelis, Palestinians, Egyptians, Syrians, Russians and Ukrainians continue along their respective paths toward enlightenment, it is now time for the Iraqis to be enlightened as to the path of quelling their current tensions before any more civil war breaks out which bears the risk of leading to a third and final world war on this earth, after which, there will be no place for anyone left to run. In summary, Observers around the world are stunned by the speed and scope of assaults on every major city in the upper Tigris River Valley, including Mosul, Iraq’s second-largest city, by the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, or ISIS. However, as the ISIS rebels extend their reach across Iraq, the U.S. Air Force was forced to intervene in order to prevent Genocide while Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki relinquished power opening a new political chapter that U.S. officials hope will move Iraq toward a more unified front against Islamic jihadists currently running wild and literally beheading “Infidels” like pigs without shedding a tear as blood spills out of their victims giving everybody creepy chills. During the week ending on Sunday, August 7, 2016, TURKEY retreated from their aggressive siege of CIZRE, SILOPI, DIYARBAKIR and NUSAYBIN, predominantly KURDISH, which TURKEY had converted into a suburban war zone area as TURKEY was on the defense as they were subject to an internal military “Coup D’État” that failed as gunfire and explosions erupted in which 265 people died, 161 of them civilians, over two weeks ago. As a result of the failed “Coup D’État”, Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan declared a state of emergency, extended the period during which suspects can be detained without charge to 30 days, closed more than 1,000 private schools and closed more than 1,200 associations. Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan was cleaning house this week again while lawyers for US-based TURKISH cleric, Fethullah Gulen say they fear an attack on his life in the wake of the failed coup attempt on July 15, 2016 in TURKEY. It is important to note that TURKEY has issued an arrest warrant for TURKISH cleric, Fethullah Gulen, accusing him of orchestrating the failed coup attempt and demanding the US to extradite him to Turkey although Mr. Fethullah Gulen denies any involvement. However, the governing AKP and President Recep Tayyip Erdogan have cracked down heavily with an internal purge of Mr. Fethullah Gulen’s supporters in the wake of the failed coup attempt. Meanwhile, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan traveled to Russia to meet Russian President, Vladimir Putin, in a trip the governing AKP may hope will give their fellow NATO, European Union and the West food for thought albeit tense relationships with Russia after Russia imposed trade sanctions on TURKEY over nine months ago after TURKEY downed a Russian fighter jet near the Syrian border. Moving on to Iraq, about 400 U.S. soldiers will deploy to IRAQ as part of the ALLIANCE military's effort to set up a logistics base at an airfield south of MOSUL. These 400 U.S. soldiers are among the 560 additional U.S. troops that President Barack Obama approved last month. The U.S. troops are establishing a logistics hub at QAYARA air base that will assist Iraqi forces that are preparing to retake the northern city of MOSUL from ISIS who seized the city in 2014. As a friendly reminder, the U.S. troop authorization for Iraq is around 4,650 while there are about 3,800 U.S. forces currently in Iraq. Nonetheless, ISIS militants captured over 3,000 people this week, while killing over 10 of them, who were displaced from their homes and desperately trying to flee the conflict zones of northern IRAQ. Moving on to Syria, U.S. backed forces from the Free Syrian Army (FSA) and the strong Kurdish YPG militia and Arab fighters ousted ISIS from the SYRIAN city of MANBIJ that represented the last stretch of the Syrian-Turkish border controlled by ISIS with about 90 percent of the city of MANBIJ cleared of ISIS while battles continued to rage on with pockets of ISIS resistance. Meanwhile, battles for the city of ALEPPO raged on between the Free Syrian Army (FSA) and forces loyal to current President Bashar al-Assad as the Syrian rebels claimed to have captured all of a strategically important military base in the northern part of the city. However, President Bashar al-Assad disputed the claim, saying that government forces pushed the rebel fighters back killing hundreds of them in the process. In my opinion, Turkey’s participation in the military battle against ISIS is a positive addition to the ALLIANCE albeit Turkey’s negative stance against the PKK which in my opinion is currently unwarranted and deteriorating. However, with the recent majority victory by the governing AKP and President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, it appears that Turkey’s future is heading for more war and bloodshed. Unfortunately, the governing AKP and President Recep Tayyip Erdogan have chosen the path of war with the PKK as opposed to diplomacy via the KURDISH HDP political party which secured close to 11% during recent Turkish elections. Therefore, in my opinion, the governing AKP and President Recep Tayyip Erdogan will learn the hard way that nobody on the outside world looking in is stupid but rather everyone chooses to close their eyes and allow Turkey to continue with its ethnic cleansing campaign of the KURDS in exchange for Turkey signing a deal with the European Union (EU) to stem the flow of refugees arriving in Greece. In exchange for reducing human trafficking and improving living conditions for 2.5 million refugees within its borders, Turkey will receive Euro 3 billion in financial aid in return, the possibility of visa-free travel for its citizens, and a reopening of EU membership talks. In my opinion, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and the governing AKP will learn the hard way that the current failed “Coup D’État” exposes the deep discontent within the TURKISH military ranks as the governing AKP and President Recep Tayyip Erdogan persist with their quest to annihilate the HDP and the KURDS as the AKP is converting itself into a majority fascist regime with its house cleaning exercises of the current week whereby virtually all dissidents have been dishonorably discharged. Although the AKP and President Recep Tayyip Erdogan have intiated a purge of all of the opposition in TURKEY with the focus now on all of TURKISH cleric, Fethullah Gulen’s supporters, the AKP will never be able to silence the resistance because as TURKISH history clearly depicts, over the years the names may have changed but the resistance to fascist rule still remains the same. Therefore, I once again urge the governing AKP and President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to seek professional psychiatric counseling to assist them with the opening of their eyes that what the AKP considers to be above board behavior is very similar to the times when Adolf Hitler declared himself as a savior. As a friendly reminder, Adolf Hitler was a German politician who was the leader of the Nazi Party, Chancellor of Germany from 1933 to 1945, and Leader of Nazi Germany from 1934 to 1945. As dictator of Nazi Germany, he initiated World War II in Europe with the invasion of Poland in September 1939 and was a central figure of the Holocaust. In regards to the governing AKP and President Recep Tayyip Erdogan now courting Russia, who better as a mistress to the West than the Russian opposition that gives NATO, the European Union and the West a whole lot of stress. Moving on to Iraq, the deployment of an additional 400 U.S. soldiers to IRAQ as part of the ALLIANCE military's effort to set up a logistics base at an airfield south of MOSUL is not only necessary but critical as IRAQI forces prepare to launch an anti-ISIS offensive in MOSUL, its northern IRAQI stronghold. It is important to note that following the recapture of FALLUJAH last month, Iraqi forces have now gained the momentum and are thus planning operations aimed at a full fledge ground assault on MOSUL which has been held by ISIS since June of 2014. As a friendly reminder, MOSUL was once the home of over two million people but the current population has been estimated at around half that figure as the number of those fleeing their homes increases steadily in fear of the upcoming ultimate battle for MOSUL, ISIS’s stronghold in northern Iraq. In my opinion, ISIS is still a force to be reckoned with as ISIS militants showed as they captured over 3,000 people this week, while killing over 10 of them, who were displaced from their homes and desperately trying to flee the conflict zones of northern IRAQ. In my opinion, the looming battle for MOSUL will be the bloodiest, deadliest and wildest yet in IRAQ as MOSUL represents the head of the ISIS serpent in IRAQ such that the ALLIANCE needs to take their time before initiating the ultimate strike as once the sergeants give the marching orders to go, there is no turning back other than in a casket draped with the honor of the soldiers halo. Moving on to Syria, the victory by the U.S. backed forces from the Free Syrian Army (FSA) and Kurdish YPG militia over ISIS in the SYRIAN city of MANBIJ represents a strategic victory as the ALLIANCE has effectively taken over control of the last stretch of the Syrian-Turkish border controlled by ISIS such that ISIS’s last remaining supply line routes have effectively been closed. Therefore, over time ISIS will feel the effects of constraints, as ISIS will no longer be able to cross the TURKSIH border for replenishments that will make ISIS weaker until they ultimately faint. However, as the battle for ALEPPO rages on between the Free Syrian Army (FSA) and forces loyal to current President Bashar al-Assad, the situation on the ground is deplorable as innocent civilians are living in a literal hell on earth as the entire city is covered in blood with diminishing food, necessities and basis supplies while innocent civilians continue to die. Ultimately, it is because of this battle for ALEPPO that ISIS is able to survive, as the crimes in ALEPPO are comparable to those committed elsewhere by the ISIS side except that the world has chosen to close a blind eye. In summary, I refer to “World Peace Lennon Ivan Style – Part 206” as the belief that ISIS is still able to survive as crimes in ALEPPO that are comparable to ISIS side have seen the world close a blind eye.
