I'd like to see our Kurds stir up their Kurds in NE Syria about now.

Now that Syria's all lined up nice and pretty, chests out, thinking they're ready to fight, sort of goose them a little, directly in their rear.

Last time those Kurds got uppity, Syria had a hard time fielding enough troops to put them down, since nearly everything Syria has is on the Golan, facing Israel.

Since even that isn't enough to go against Israel with much chance of success, having to pull units back down and send them clear across the country ought to be enough to give pause to any idea of an offensive against Israel.

The Turks would probably squall, but that's rugged country, their only easy move is through the chokepoint in northern Iraq, where a unit could hold against a force ten times its size if need be.

Syria's strategic position has never been worse.
