I appreciate this article fossil. Not sure about the source. Have the Kurds been invited into the sovereign country of Syria by is constituent government? I see the Russians just knocking the crap out of the Turkish invaders very very soon. If you think that we are going to spend any American money or lives backing Turkeys illegal invasion of sovereign Syria under the illusion of Nato ? You better check again. You will have blue collar bubba in the street wanting that Wall built and our Jobs— Not messing around where we have no damned business!! This is BOLTON/McCain crap and it needs to be put DOWN HARD!!
Kurds are native to NE Syria.
I got a heads up on part of this today from a friend on Twitter. We have had ongoing discussions of the region for quite a while. Trust factor is very strong.
What I think has happened is that Syria finally realized what Turkey’s ambitions actually were. They were not to take out ISIS, on the contrary to ally with them to dismember Iraq and Syria. I think the Kurds may have decided Turkey was bleeding them and excluded them from taking Aleppo. It appears the US military agreed to the exclusion of the Kurds from the assault.
Now we have a real mess.
