    Yes. It'd be nice if the US media would report on the obvious interest that the YPG has in depicting Idlib as ISIS-land. It would also be nice if it would, from time to time, look under the hood of the SDF, by, for example, addressing reports like this:

    This is one route but the most used is those via the regime held areas. You pay the YPG (price is a bit higher if you're imprisoned) , they bring you to the smugglers in regime areas, mostly regime officers. Suknah-Palmyra-east Hama-Idlib Tabqah-Dayr Khafer-south Aleppo-Idlib

    This is how you get to Idlib from Northeast Syria, acc to • You pay SDF/YPG $2K to $10K per person…

    The US president repeatedly underlined that it was a sole US operation and that only a small group was informed about it. Some Pentagon officials and Pentagon correspondents are still trying to make a propaganda show for the YPG out of it.

    This story is getting weird. I think I will wait until the official declaration from Trump than trying to figure out what happened based on unnamed Turkish, American, Iraqi, Iranian and other officials who might tell the media something as well.

    A US official tells CNN that Turkey played no role in assisting the operation though the operation was deconflicted with the Turkish military due to its proximity to Turkey’s border. The official also said the Kurdish-led SDF did provide some intelligence support to the operation …
