The Russia-Turkey deal establishes a safe zone along the Syrian-Turkish border – something Erdogan had been gunning for since 2014. There will be joint Russia-Turkey military patrols. The Kurdish YPG (People’s Protection Units), part of the rebranded, US-aligned Syrian Democratic Forces, will need to retreat and even disband, especially in the stretch between Tal Abyad and Ras al-Ayn, and they will have to abandon their much-cherished urban areas such as Kobane and Manbij. The Syrian Arab Army will be back in the whole northeast. And Syrian territorial integrity – a Putin imperative – will be preserved.
Make both a highway and a pipeline. Screw Hillary and the Saudis, do the thing that makes sense. This is all good news and we can thank Putin and common sense. If Putin managed to get Hillary dumped then Putin did the Middle East a huge favor.
Like the end of LBJ's disaster in Vietnam except Hillary only got as far as Secretary of State. Thank god we could have had another Vietnam style disaster if she were elected..
