    US withdrawal from Syria agreed upon during Erdogan-Trump phone call last Friday. Trump also is selling Patriot missiles to Ankara. So we know the quid - what was the quo?

    U.S. official tells all State Department personnel are being evacuated from within 24 hours. All military forces will be pulled out once final stages of last operation against ISIS is complete. Time frame for pullout expected to be btw 60-100 days.

    This is not only about Kurds but why should any US ally in the region ever trust Americans again when they leave their most hardworking ally in the entire region to the mercy of Turkey and while they are literally fighting ISIS at this very moment?

    U.S. pulling troops out of Syria will leave the Kurds alone against a Turkish onslaught. Not exactly what the Kurds expected when they did the heavy lifting and dirty work in the US fIght against ISIS.

    US withdrawal will empower Iranian regime like never before:

    1. Iran’s land corridor is established. IRGC will have a straight shot from Tehran to the Mediterranean for the first time since 1979.

    At this very moment, Kurdish fighters are engaged in a fierce battle for the last stretch of land under Isis control. Hundreds have been killed, and it's not yet over. They are likely hearing the news that US is withdrawing now. Surreal.

    This will not only endanger Kurdish region in Syria but as we've seen in Afrin there will be massive displacement of Kurds and Erdogan is going to change the demography by sending back refugees there. YPG must allow other Kurds including Rojava Pesh to join to defend the region.

    Jesus. I just realized, is the KRG ready to take in tens of thousands of refugees? This is going to be a disaster.

    Withdrawal of this small American force in Syria would be a huge Obama-like mistake.

    Worth noting that Roj Peshmarga is part of KDP's Zeravani forces which were getting trained by Turkey at some point.

    So apparently the Roj Pesh has been denied entry to Rojava:

    Happy flag day. What Kurdistan needs is dismantling the family rule that is crippling the region’s talents and building a merit based system with strong institutions.
