My only concern in Syria is the Kurds who have proven over and over to be our best ally in the Middle East when rubber hits the road. They are always at the tip of the spear whether it was attacking Saddam or and having been the most instrumental force along with the US in destroying ISIS. If only our NATO allies had the cajones of the Kurds.
I have many Kurds as friends on my Facebook Page and they are angry that we left. I believe Assad and Russia will crush the ISIS and FSA, but then he will move on the Kurds. That is my worry. Turkey has been encroaching on Syrian land to kill the Kurds I am glad Assad and Russia are giving him grief.
Syria and Russia will protect the Kurds.
The Kurds are an ethnic group spread across multiple sovereign countries. They have no legitimate government that is recognized by anyone. Calling them “allies” of the U.S. is preposterous.
