    Who's going to enforce this 'safe zone' if US pulling out? This might give credence to rising rumours of the Clansmen Army, a US-backed force agreeable to both and deploying on buffer zone. Is trying to force both parties into a defacto solution?

    Starting the long overdue pullout from Syria while hitting the little remaining ISIS territorial caliphate hard, and from many directions. Will attack again from existing nearby base if it reforms. Will devastate Turkey economically if they hit Kurds. Create 20 mile safe zone....

    Wow, what an incredibly moving blog from an MSF nurse about the children they lost on the Med. How to bear witness to the most heartbreaking humanitarian disasters.
