Russia, Turkey to share control of NE Syria

[Cinnabar]

ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — Russian and Turkish leaders have made a deal to share control of Syria’s northeast that requires Kurdish fighters to clear the entire length of the Syria-Turkey border.

The deal allows Turkey to maintain control of areas it pushed into launching its offensive into Syria earlier this month.
The agreement allows Russian and Syrian troops to control the rest of the border.

Russian President Vladimir Putin and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan also agreed that their troops will conduct joint patrols of the border area.

The United States, meanwhile, ran into a new hitch in getting its troops out of Syria, with neighboring Iraq's military saying Tuesday that the American forces did not have permission to stay on its territory.

The Iraqi announcement seemed to contradict U.S. Defense Secretary Mark Esper, who a day earlier said the forces leaving Syria would deploy in Iraq to fight the Islamic State group

And the orange-hued puppet further fulfills his list of orders from Putin.

Russia has powerful sway on all sides. Turkey has suggested it wants Russia to persuade the Syrian government to cede it control over a major chunk of territory in the northeast. The Kurds are hoping Russia can keep Turkey out and help preserve some of the autonomy they carved out for themselves during Syria's civil war.

perfect. Russia playing the stabilizing role as a superpower for it's client state

Assad has vowed to reunite all the territory under Damascus' rule.

the fly in the ointment.
Hopefully Assad gets the idea he doesn't have to go after the Kurds, like Turkey no longer has to go after the Kurds
and this gaddamed Syrian civil war can stabilize for peace talks..

Syria needs an end to war, so a power structure can finally set up to start to rebuild

And the orange-hued puppet further fulfills his list of orders from Putin.

And you wanted Syria to be the 51st State.

You're out of luck warmonger. Trump wants to get us out of Obobo's war.

He ‘plays into’ authoritarians’ hands to ‘weaken the United States’

“You know, Speaker Pelosi said it best of all: All roads seem to lead to Putin. And I think there’s a lot of truth to that,” said Panetta. It’s incredible that the president of the United States relies on the advice of our primary adversary, Vladimir Putin, for guidance on these kinds of issues. Russia is our enemy. Their intent is to undermine the United States, their intent is to weaken the United States....
