Russian MoD: Syrian Troops Crossed Euphrates Using Pontoon Bridge, Liberated Some Villages On Its Eastern Bank

That can come later, after ISIS and the other head choppers are defeated. One has to take into account that for years the Syrian government and the Kurds were unofficial allies. Helping each other where they could, especially in the darkest days when half of Aleppo was still Jihadi country and not a single Russian aircraft in the skies over Syria. If they want to they can reach an agreement. Which I think is in Syria’s long term interest.

That won’t happen as Kurds have always been more ambitious than they have been smart and why they were not allowed to have a country in the region before. They were used by the Ottoman Jewish Janissaries and again by the Europeans, US and Jews again , seems they are caught in a cycle. They will have less to bargain with and be left holding the bag as the US slinks away from this mess slowly, once those oilfields are secured by the SAA and her staunch Allies. Russia is playing dimensional chess and the US is stuck playing checkers on 4 squares.

The Kurds could still have their uses to Damascus and Russia as a counter towards Turkey. Just because Turkey is more friendly now towards Damascus and Russia doesn’t mean it will remain so forever. Who knows when Ankara might crazy ideas again.

As it is the Kurds pose no problem to the regime’s survival, unlike ISIS, Al Qaida and the other assorted headchoppers and their Western and Gulf state backers. Also chances are that the Kurds will piss off the Arabs under their control with their extreme left wing agenda. They’re not the darlings of SJW’s, feminists and ANTIFA activists for nothing. It’s bound to piss off more traditional Arabs. This could work long term in Damascus’ favor.

Just remember they call on dissension in Idlib with the weakening Terrorist groups there. Their leadership has always been overly ambitious. Many Kurds just go along for the sake and not try to rock the boat, others are more open in opposition to these Usurpers from Spook central.

The point is the Anarchy brigades are a large part of the SDF the volunteer forces, mostly you see the women from these brigades and the Kurds went to great lengths to hide some of these groups. They have about 6 groups from Germany alone and that doesn’t include he Tunisian ones. What will happen when they all return home , the last time many people forget about. They are several groups and it’s members from the US , they have been returning home and are involved in the violence there.

The Kurds numbers are low in Syria so mostly you see are Iraqi and Turks in Syria. They don’t have any use as a buffer against the Turks since the only ones who are at the Northern border are Kurds and even some have fled the violence by PKK for safer areas.

Erdogan is seeing that Turkey will not be treated as a real equal in the EU and NATO, this is an issue with their position right now. Don’t really see Turkey as a real threat in the long run, but see that Kurds are easily manipulated by their hatred and biases.Many Arabs never mind them being traditional or not see Antifa and the Anarchy groups as terrorists, many in the west are finally realizing this.

There is no point in dealing with someone who tries to backstab you, so the options that existed will be no longer available. The Kurds didn’t do any real fighting so they won’t have any value with their intentional poor training. The Arabs forces do most of the fighting in Raqqa where the Kurds just get ready for a photo shoot.

Now I see having the updated map.
