Turkey and its proxies — mostly Arab and Turkmen former rebels defeated by regime forces earlier in Syria’s eight-year-old conflict — have already conquered territory along 120 km of the border.
In some areas, they have moved some 30 km deep into Syria territory, prompting the Kurds to turn for help to the regime in Damascus.
Government troops responded and rushed north as soon as US troops withdrew from some of their positions, including the strategic city of Manbij.
The Syrian regime’s main backer Russia swiftly sent its own forces to patrol the new contact line between regime forces and the former fighters.
“It is mostly rebel groups linked to Ankara who are on the front lines, Turkish troops are mostly deployed along the border,” the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
The intense ballet of military deployments is redrawing the map of territorial control in a region previously held by the US-backed and Kurdish-led Syrian Defense Forces.
There are a bunch of hardcore Mohummerdudes in Idlib and they be moved northwest along with a bunch of other Mohummerdudes. So we end up with a huge camp of Mohummerdudes just north of the Iraq. Iraq is knee deep in sewage at the moment.
