US Congress refuses to stop arming terrorists: ”The Stop Arming Terrorists Act would bar federal agencies from using taxpayer funds to provide weapons, training, intelligence, or any other type of support to terrorist groups.” 6/23/2017…“As November 2017, only 14 other lawmakers out of 435 United States House of Representatives have co-sponsored Gabbard’s House bill. [Rand] Paul’s Senate version of the bill, on the other hand, has zero cosponsors.“….US is a dedicated state sponsor of Islamic terrorism in Syria, seeks occupation of Syria with no end date for the purpose of “countering the threat of terrorism,” and “protecting a rules-based international order.”...“Violating both domestic and international law by invading and dismembering a country is an odd way [for US] to support the “rules-based international order.”"

Last month during a trilateral summit in Ankara, Erdogan signed a joint statement with Russia’s Vladimir Putin and Iran’s Hassan Rouhani, in which the three leaders vowed to respect Syria’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.
