Gambit

The Russians are referring to the recent "decision" made by US President Trump [announced by him via his "Twitter" account to pull US military troops out of Syria] as a "gambit"  Here is the Webster definition of the word gambit:

gambit (gămˈbĭt)

►

• n.
  An opening in chess in which a minor piece, or pieces, usually a pawn, is offered in exchange for a favorable position.
• n.
  A maneuver, stratagem, or ploy, especially one used at an initial stage.
• n.
  A remark intended to open a conversation.

  
  

  Here is the relevant quote from the pro Russian news outlet Sputnik:

  
  "Last week, President Donald Trump announced the withdrawal of US from Syria, posting on Twitter that the US had defeated the Daesh terrorist group in the Arab country.
  
  The reasons for the US decision to withdraw troops from Syria, as well as Washington's future plans in the Middle East, are not yet known, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Igor Tsarikov said on Thursday.

"...We have repeatedly pointed out that the US illegitimate armed presence in Syria is an obstacle to settlement. However, we still do not know anything about the reasons for this decision of the future plans of the US. This gambit has yet to be figured out", Tsarikov told a joint extended meeting of Russian and Syrian interdepartmental coordinating committees on the return of Syrian refugees...."

Greencrow says:  It's instructive for Westerners to read translations of Russian into English, if only that it forces us to refer to our English dictionaries to find out the true meaning of words which have been sheepdipped for centuries to the point of losing all original meaning.  The word "Gambit", as an example, has been used by Hollywood as the name for several movies.  I, myself, did not know that its primary meaning originates from the game of chess.

How appropriate, then, for the Russians to refer to Trump's shocking "decision" as a "gambit".  So, in the case at hand, US's bases in Syria are being "offered up for a more favourable position".  This is what the geopolitical pundits, mainstream and alternative, have been pondering ever since the announcement.  What is the "more favourable position" that Trump is seeking?  In my last post I submitted that Trump's decision to pull out of Syria was to avoid a NATO-busting military conflict with Turkey.  I also surmised that Trump was signalling to Putin that...with the USrael Deep State closing in on him domestically, that he was "reaching out" to Russia and its allies for help in order to remain in office...as he [Trump] was the last, best hope for any kind of peace in the Middle East and even globally.

This is still my best assessment of the maneuver.  But, of course, the Deep State has immediately muddied the water and "paused" the pull-out.  Buying time?  Most likely.  Trump is on a tightrope. Further, on the French military bases situated in Syria which just recently came to light.  I hope my blogging colleagues have drawn a line connecting the dots between these NATO bases and Macron's problems with the "yellow vests" in France.  The vests might be yellow, but I smell blackmail.  I always knew those demonstrations were Sorosian frauds/false flags.

The bottom line is this.  The Rooskies have terminally out-gunned the West.  It will take decades for the West to even catch up with the Russian weaponry.  Perhaps the Deep State UK-based Rothchild bankster gargoyles are in denial over this....but I suspect the Western military, or at least the portion of it that remains sane [probably a minority] is not.  These few, beleaguered, generals know that if the Rooskies have to "prove" that they actually have the weaponry as they claim...by firing off an Avangard or two....these very generals will be the first to be incinerated.  THAT, my good readers is the bottom line.

So, IMO, the gambit was not actually a gambit...it was a flare...shot into the night sky, indicating an SOS.
