Let Russia deal with the headache.

[Don Corleone]

Trump right again!

[C19fan]

I must admit the macabre side of me was looking forward to seeing Syrian and Turkish regulars go at it.

[rrrod]

Plant story. Let both sides wipe out the Russians.

[PGR88]

after Obama, Clinton and McCain’s failed and pathetic attempt to use Al Qaeda to overthrow Assad, Russia seems to be the only rational and ethical actor in the whole scenario.

[TLI]

And just like that, problem solved! Billions saved!

.

[phs3]

Precisely, because its their headache.

[Mariner]

IF the US finds it necessary to support a faction in this mess, we should come down clearly on the side of Russia and Syria.

It would be in our best interests, and arguably the moral choice.

[hardspunned]

Absolutely, don’t throw Russia into that brief patch.

[Yo-Yo]

We didn't learn from Russia's decade-long occupation of Afthanistan, and apparently neither did Russia.

But Trump did...

[rawcatslyentist]

Now that’s how ya stop a war! Not by mamby pamby selling arms to both sides!

[Trumpisourlastchance]

Russia is doing exactly that. Manbig is now safe from the Turks & Jihadits. Kobane next.

Let Syria and Assad protect the Kurds and fight Turkey for their own land. I said to my Generals, why should we be fighting for Syria and Assad to protect the land of our enemy? Anyone who wants to assist Syria in protecting the Kurds is good with me, whether it is Russia, China, or Napoleon Bonaparte. - President Donald Trump

[Sam Gamgee]

Didn’t stop 70,000 displaced children, 174 dead Kurds or ISIS prisoners escaping.

"Let Russia deal with the headache."

Just asking.

Who are the FReepers who may have the most informed point of view on this Turkey/Syria/kurds/etc. problem?

I am pretty ignorant about the ME, and I need to read some wise perspectives.

Thank you in advance.
