If we haven’t already done so, we should tell the Russians that we will NOT interfere if they bomb the piss out of the invading Turkish forces and their accompanying Islamist Arab militias,
I think the real reason the establishment in DC is angry with Trump - they still harbor the Obama/Hillary/McCain goal to overthrow Assad, and our pullout somehow messes up that plan.
I wonder what latitude we have if Turkey is attacked?
I realize it would be an attack on aggressor forces though. We should be clear not to have to come to Turkey’s aid, especially if the incursion were to take place on Syrian soil.
Russia has been an ally of Syria back into at least the 60s, so this isn’t a shift of power.
Syria would be defending people on it’s own land.
Seems reasoned to me. I wonder what hand Trump had in this. I can’t believe he would just abandon the Kurds. I’ll bet he had something cooking before he pulled our people out.
This would be an adherence to a policy that would see local players handle things, rather than the U. S. having to be the acting agent.
It’s what people wanted. I like this if it plays out in a reasoned manner.
