Analysts: Iraq is studying a field role in Syria to fill the American vacuum
{International: Euphrates News} strongly promoted information in the capital Baghdad on the structure of the United States to move its troops from Syria to the city of Erbil, after its decision to withdraw its troops from the east of the Euphrates, while analysts go that "Iraqi forces may play a field role in the Syrian territory in the next phase To fill the vacuum left by the American withdrawal. "
According to senior political sources in Erbil for the "Arabs" that "the government of Kurdistan, has not received any US notification related to the intention of transferring troops from Syria to the territory of the Kurdish region in Iraq," asserting that "the US military presence in the Kurdistan region of Iraq, "He said. According to Iranian media, the United States has five bases in the Kurdish region of Iraq, which is denied by the provincial government, which confirms that the only headquarters of the US military, in cooperation with the international coalition, in Kurdistan, located within the security zone of Erbil airport, with a few sites for small supply and control , Do not live up to being military bases. "The Iraqi government and the Kurdish political leadership may be involved in discussions with the United States about filling the potential void in some areas of Syria, which are covered by a plan of return," the sources said. Proliferation ". The Iraqi forces and the Kurdish Peshmerga may have a temporary role in the process of filling the vacuum that will result from the implementation of the redeployment plan in Syria, according to the sources, which say that the American plan will be accompanied by a change in the positions of the French forces and the Syrian Democratic forces in the eastern region From Syria, which borders the Iraqi border to the west. Military experts say that "the United States is trying to vent Turkish congestion of the Kurdish military presence in the Syrian east, by allowing new forces to play temporary security roles in the region, pending arrangements to satisfy the various parties." Ankara refuses to allow Syria's democratic forces, a US ally, to be part of any security arrangements in Syria, and have already attacked their positions more than once. Earlier this month, Iraqi forces filled security spaces on the Syrian border, which resulted from attacks led by an organization calling on the forces of the Syrian Democratic Forces and forcing them to withdraw on the threat of Turkish attack. The US redeployment plan, coupled with the neutralization of Syria's democratic forces on the Eastern Front, could contribute to calming Ankara, but the military alternative would come from Baghdad or Erbil, if convinced by the United States, with limited military intervention in Syrian territory, Iraq. Iran is monitoring these developments, especially with regard to the military role that Baghdad or Erbil may play in the Syrian front, but it is interfering with "the need to strengthen the American presence in the Kurdistan region of Iraq, and what it is very sensitive," observers said. Iranian media say the US withdrawal from Syria is contingent on the United States maintaining its right to intervene at any time in Syria, against a pre-emptive organization, or to protect its interests, adding that it serves as a cover for building the largest US base in the Middle East. The Iraqi political analyst Hisham al-Hashemi said that "the news of the US-Kurdish understanding on the new arrangements in the eastern region of Syria is traded, but it is not confirmed, while Baghdad and Damascus are silent." He added that "any understanding of this kind will be temporary, pending the end of the battles in Deir Ezzor"

Here are some of the more important things that you need to know.
For Individuals
With so many major disasters, fires, floods and plagues around the country, it is important that you save important tax information in the cloud.
No more deduction for moving expenses - except for active duty military - thank your elected officials for this one.
Are you buying alternative powered vehicles hoping for a big tax credit? Beware, at least one vehicle (Tesla) has sold so many than the credit is being phased down. In any case, if your tax liability isn't high enough - you won't be able to use some, or any, of the credit.
New tax law is confusing when it comes to employee Achievement Awards. Cannot give cash or anything cash-like.
Farmers have some new, and more liberal, accounting and deduction rules. This IS worth exploring - for all my farm clients.
Security Issues
Employers need to be very careful. There is a W-2 scam floating around. NEVER, and I repeat, NEVER provide any information to someone who contacts you by email unless you actually know who it is and what the request is for. Even then, call the individual directly, in case their email account has been copied or stolen.
It's time to establish stronger passwords on all accounts - and don't use the same password everywhere. Unlike what you see in movies and CSI/NCIS-type shows, it's not that easy for anyone to hack passwords that have random numbers, upper-and lower-case letters and special characters. THAT and, at least 8 digits will help protect you.
