    Alles lijkt nu af te hangen van ontmoeting Putin+Erdogan (over 5dagen). Misschien niet zo toevallig dat staakt-het-vuren ook 5dagen duurt. Of Putin kiest voor Turkije tegen Syrie/SDF. Of Putin kiest voor Syrie/SDF tegen Turkije. Of Putin heeft compromis.

    Tja, hier begint 't gedoe al. Koerden ervaren TR-VS deal als overgave. Kan Turkse leger bv na 5dagen staakt-het-vuren toch gewoon Kobane inrijden, want ligt in safezone? En moet Syrische leger in Kobane zich dan terugtrekken uit eigen land? Vragen, vragen.

    I can't imagine SDF and Syrian gov to be thrilled with this U.S.- Turkey agreement. Crucial now: Which side will Russia pick? Will Russia allow Turkey to enter 30 kms deep into Syria over a 450 kms stretch? Or will Russia back Syrian gov & Kurds who are already in that area?
