      People get too excited and panicky pretty fast. Folks, relax. This is far more dangerous than you think. The US won’t just leave. I know, I know, this is crazy to say right now, given all the talk. But let’s see.https://twitter.com/michaeldweiss/status/1183404944851755008 …

      If the US leaves Syria, that's a TRUE game changer. Game over for the US presence in Iraq and any idea of combating Iran in the region; Iran will completely control two of its Israel's borders. That's not to mention jihadists, and Turkish-Russian relations. Wishy-washy defined

      Here is how I see the situation heading, regardless of the statement about the possibility of a "rapid" and "complete" U.S. withdrawal from eastern Syria.https://twitter.com/hxhassan/status/1183123278132662272 …

      Hard to tell at this point, but who wants to bet: •The US will stay in Syria for a long time after the Turkish operation. Later than 2021. •The Kurds won’t join the Syrian regime during this time. •Turkey will not go beyond the strip of land approximately shown in this map. pic.twitter.com/v3Uvv7fGDj

      The unknown is where Turkey will go, and whether Russia will be put in charge of some of the areas instead of the regime. Some thoughts:

      I guess Russia might go to Qamashli -- that's the only area east of the Euphrates where the Syrian regime has some presence, a base. I reckon Turkey won't trust the regime being in its prospective zone on its own, and the regime won't leave that base. It would want Russia there.

      Manbij will obviously be the most likely place to be put under the control of Russia if the US won't want Turkey and its allied militants to be put in charge. The remaining areas, south of Qamashli and say Ain Issa will be the new American zone, all the way to the Iraqi borders

      Deir Ezzor is another low-hanging fruit. It's already proven a headache for the SDF, but then the regime runs a mess on the other side of the Euphrates river in the same province. And it's along the Syrian-Iraqi borders, where Shia militias are frequently hit by the US/Israel.

      Here it is — both Qamashli and Deir Ezzor will be handed over to the Syrian regime under Suhail al-Hassan (#Russia’s man). See tweets above this.pic.twitter.com/1KmBZYia50

          And now the Syrian regime is reportedly entering #Manbij. At one point, Manbij almost caused clashes between the two NATO allies, #Turkey and the #US.

          Scratch the one above about #Manbij, false reports. So Qamashli seems to be the only one happening. That one was very expected because it makes perfect sense for Turkey to allow in the regime with Russia, and for the YPG to prevent Turkey from entering.

          The US génocidaires will try to resist this, with humiliating failure. Too bad you abetted this for years with race supremacist Kurdiphobia.
