Surrender monkey in chief.

pie in the sky.
but I'm not talking abut a Kurdish state i'm talking about WHEN YOU WANT THE U.S. OUT OF SYRIA
*crickets*
Obama surrendered Iraq to ISIS and then called them JV. Did that upset you as well? Of course not. You were all in to disengage from the ME during Obamunism. You whiny hypocrite.
I don't know how I can state my answer ANY clearer.
Assad wants his Syria back in one piece.
Russia wants a Syrian Base.
Syrian Kurdistan (land east of the Euphrates) wants an autonomous region for themselves.
All can be accomplished with an arrangement like that in Iraq. The Kurdish region 'recognized' in the Syrian Constitution.
Once THAT is in place, the Americans can leave.
"The analogy we use around here sometimes, and I think is accurate, is if a jayvee team puts on Lakers uniforms that doesn't make them Kobe Bryant," Obama said, resorting to an uncharacteristically flip analogy. "I think there is a distinction between the capacity and reach of a bin Laden and a network that is actively planning major terrorist plots against the homeland versus jihadists who are engaged in various local power struggles and disputes, often sectarian."

"An official with the main Kurdish-led force in Syria said on Sunday the Kurdish people were not represented on the constitutional committee in charge of drafting a new Syrian constitution."

"His comments came in light of a UN document released on Saturday showing in addition to amending Syria's current constitution or writing a new one, the committee was mandated to organise "free-and-fair elections" in the country under the supervision of the world body once the constitution was drafted."
"A first meeting of the committee, which took almost two years to negotiate, has been scheduled for October 30 in Geneva."
that's clear i give you that.
So you want us to nation-build like we did in Afghanistan.. clearly that is a bad idea
Syria is a basket case -simply declaring an autonomous region doesn't make it so .
what do you want to do when Iran doesn't want to leave? that is their sphere of influence
Plus you got Turkey absolutely opposed and will never let the Kurds be autonomous
when that happens -what happens to our troops there?
^so much for an autonomous region..
I actually agree the Kurds deserve a full state -but they won't get it and an autonomous zone isn't enforceable either
Did you say the same thing when Iraqi Kurdistan wanted an autonomous region?
"Iraqi Kurdistan or Southern Kurdistan[1] (Kurdish: باشووری کوردستان, romanized: Başûrê Kurdistanê) is the Kurdish-populated region incorporated into Iraq and considered by Kurds as one of four parts of Greater Kurdistan.[2] Much of the geographical and cultural region of Iraqi Kurdistan is governed by the Kurdistan Region (KRI) (Kurdish: هه*رێمی کوردستان, romanized: Herêmî Kurdistan) which is an autonomous region recognized by the Iraqi constitution.[3]"

Dukkha. You don't have to re-invent the wheel here. It's already a functioning Reality in neighboring Iraq.
hahaha ...You are very negative. This isn't difficult to solve.
I'll let you take the side of the Authoritarians and list all the things that can never happen.
--->Couldn't have said it better<---
Because the Peshmerga filled in the power gap when the Iraqi's left.
I don't know if there is a written agreement in Iraq ( Constitution), but the problem AS ALWAYS is Turkey is hostile to ANY Kurds self government.
Plus you have the Iranians who want an unstable Syria -that allows them to fill the power vacuum
with their Quds.
I mean go for it if you can ever get a stable region backed by the players - but that is not what we are doing in Syria and not going to happen with the small fore we had their until today. The US can't do anything but be a sitting duck
President Obama would not have been President had he not shown his tax returns.
America would have been in an uproar.
it's a non-starter. I give you credit for thinking of it, but Syria isn't capable of keeping an autonomous zone if both Iran and Turkey dont want it ( and they dont)
You are very negative. This isn't difficult to solve.

It's what he is. He's a traitor and if the separation of powers cannot rid us of him expediently, I hope he suffers a major stroke soon. He's a monster and I do not wish him a quick demise. He is opening up the Kurds who fought ISIS to slaughter.
"McConnell warns Trump against withdrawing U.S. forces from northern Syria
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) also urged the president to “exercise American leadership.” In a rare show of bipartisanship, congressional Republicans and Democrats largely were unified in criticizing Trump's move."
