The Syrian/Russian/Iranian team has made progress in Aleppo City, and the American/Kurdish Team seems to be nearing control of Manbij. In both places, there has been surge in civilians getting out, in just the last days. ISIS seems ready to collapse in Manbij - getting defeated in detail, and down to the last few hundred (with 50-100 killed per day).
It looks like this phase of the War is wrapping up, and we are reaching another decision point. I guess that the plan would have been to discuss a political settlement, and/or drive on for another set of objectives, like closing the Marea Line by taking al Bab for the American/Kurds, or capturing the Bab al-Hawa Border Crossing (which supplies the rebels West of Aleppo, and threatens Latakia) for the Syrian/Russians - maybe taking down Raqqa before the American elections (looking less likely as the schedule slips, but possible with resourcing).
But Turkey is a big wild card now. Hopefully Erdogan will be absorbed internally, and not eager (or even able) to engage across the border.
Where did you get these great maps?
