    Excellent new report on the Islamic State portrays a weak group whose remnants struggle to overcome structural impediments in Iraq, but may find space to rebound in a Syria torn up by resurgent conflict. via

    Daesh is clearly struggling to come back, but recruiting due to desperation and unresolved political issues in the region. The Turkish incursion adds uncertainty and doesn’t improve the situation. Important new report on the situation.

    “Whatever happens in the near future, there can be no going back to the status quo that obtained only a few decades ago, before the United States’ interventions in the region set the Kurds on a fundamentally new path.”

    Hearing it’s a much, *much* wider deal than just those two cities. Not sure when it will be announced though

    Coalition contact confirms SDF have made a deal with the Syrian government. The last few days have been brutal. Mazloum met with the Russians. It is unclear at this stage whether it's just for Manbij and Kobane or a much-wider deal.

    After the harm done to civilians this is increasingly their only option; forced into this by a US policy that borders on nonsensical and has opened the door to massive harm in just a few days ; destruction of an area that was peaceful for years

    US troop pullout from northern Syria doesn’t mean they’re exiting completely. A coalition source says: “Key word is 'northern'. We're getting troops out of the way of the Turks, not evacuating Syria as a whole” (But - as this is a Trump decision - I guess no one really knows)

    Although protesters have the support of much of the younger generation, they are largely disorganized with no central leadership.

    Vital we withdraw nuclear weapons from Turkey. NATO should administratively cut links to their armed forces. Erdogan an authoritarian threat to his own people and his NATO allies.

    Long overdue to give up fiction that Erdogan’s Turkey is an ally in practice. US should withdraw all nuclear weapons, reduce reliance on Turkey’s bases, and restrict intelligence sharing and arms sales. Should also articulate red lines in Syria.

    Here is the problem: Turkey received the blessing of the president of the United States of America before it started its onslaught. So what's this "US" that should now take anti-Turkey steps? Our problem starts at the top here at home.
