| well not officially, but yesterday morning, following a report about Pompeo's request to allies for "help with Syria", the ABC ran a report from its correspondent in Beirut speaking to a representative from the YPG. This guy said that the Kurds would welcome Australian - or other forces - to help keep the border area safe from Turkish attack. So a bloke from the YPG invites the Australian army to send a force to Syria, without any involvement from the Syrian government? THis is even more ridiculous than the basis on which we were in Syria before - that of helping the Iraqi government against IS attacks launched at Iraq from inside Syria. The ADF never got authorisation for this from Baghdad, so forces carried diplomatic passports... |
