I’m for it, if possible.

My closest Syrian Kurd friend tells me that Iraq and Syrian Kurds are too far apart right now.

I also detect some caution about a clear break with Syria. The Iranian card is still in play. And Turkey is just as bad a threat.

If as has been stated, Israel and SA both support it might fly. If the US is totally behind. The complication is Turkey again.

Guess we will see.

Erdogan could be threatened in Turkey. He has done some really stupid stuff. So far has gotten away with it.

You have to differentiate between the Syria’s western and eastern Kurds. The former are too distant from the Kurd heartland and their territory has no contiguity with Kurdistan. Eastern Syria, Al Hasakah, (and perhaps portions of other eastern provinces),,is a sure bet to join Kurdistan if allowed.
