        Here is the chart of the extremist Syrian "rebels" who were armed and/or trained by the US government, and are now embedded in the Turkish army, massacring and ethnically cleansing civilians in northern Syria Read more here at The @GrayzoneProject: https://thegrayzone.com/2019/10/16/us-backed-crazy-militias-turkeys-invasion-syria/ …pic.twitter.com/H1fqqy0mMX

        These are some of the corporate media's favorite so-called "moderate rebels," who until recently were supported by the US. 75% of the Syrian extremist "rebels" embedded in the Turkish army were trained and armed by the CIA or Pentagon https://twitter.com/Mekut_Mallet/status/1188928182696763392?s=19 …

        Ben Norton Retweeted VdC-NsY \ Northern Syria

        These fascists were trained by the US, before becoming Turkish mercenaries Imagine if these sadists who force civilians to make animal sounds had actually won the war and ruled Syria. They would've turned it into Afghanistan, as US proxies did in the '80shttps://twitter.com/vdcnsy/status/1189594739160637442?s=19 …

        Turkey-backed militias arrested civilians in villages near Tel Tamer today, then forced them to imitate animal sounds, aiming to abuse and insult these civilians. pic.twitter.com/0oPvDdmBFD

        Here is video from a pro-Erdogan propaganda account boasting about how these Syrian Salafi-jihadist mercenaries embedded in the Turkish army are using US-supplied TOW anti-tank missiles to attack Kurds. Terrorism made in USApic.twitter.com/URM7qk3M5U

        You have no idea about Turkey other that what lobbyists are telling you. Historical facts look at the Cyprus invasion how that 3% at cease fire became 45% and how a 10% population became 50% he is a genocide maniac. Wake up

        No surprise -- this is what everyone who has been really following this war knows. The guys coming with the Turks to invade Syria are the FSA, the same rebels we've been supporting. Good job by @MaxBlumenthal tracking down the actual links.

        Then Syria should rebrand the Kurds with SAA uniforms and flags.
