Good on the Kurds. Not easy to compromise.
They cam out better than would have fighting.
Turks have gotten something, but not much, And many, many deaths have been avoided.
The media says we abandoned the defense of the Hurds, but the reality is we turned it over to Syria. Who have stepped up to the task.
We’re lined up to leave Hasakah, our central base, today.
Syria is lining up to relieve us.
For the Mid-East, things are going better than one would expect.
I agree with you.
I will also say, if there were ever to be a peace agreement in the Middle East, it would be under Trump.
The Kurds are withdrawing from the Turkish border, creating the ‘safe zone’ that is the primary goal of Turkey. If they are able to return the Syrian refugees to Syria, they will have accomplished all of their stated goals.
The big winner is Syria, that appears to be on a path to reunite their country after a devastating civil war.
Even the Kurds will be winners in a united Syria. Though their fantasy of ‘Rojava’ is dashed, they have gained some autonomy and recognition. The question is, are they wise enough to accept their good fortune?
