    「トルコ向けの制裁の準備は整っている」 トルコはシリアで罠に嵌められています。ゴーサインを出したアメリカが真っ先に制裁をかける可能性は高いです。トルコリラのロングは要注意です。

    ロシア支援のシリア政府軍がクルド勢力と合意に達したので、地域に戻り始めました。トルコ対クルド勢力という構図からトルコ対シリアという構図になり、衝突がエスカレートする可能性があります。

    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.

  21. 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
