What I find amazing is that Trump announced the US withdrawal late Sunday night, yet the Turks launched their military offensive on Wednesday - logistics for this sort of initiative normally take weeks, if not months, to set up.

Re: U.S, UK and France Launch Missile Strikes in Syria

Good article on Sky News as to how containing thousands of IS prisoners in Syria close to the Turkish borders was not a good long-term plan.

Quote:

It means thousands of battle-hardened IS fighters could break free at any moment from detention camps where they have been held in legal limbo in the northeast of the country.
They could regroup, retake territory or - more likely - slip away across the desert to launch attacks at a time of their choosing against targets in the region and across the world.
Take a moment to let that sink in.

Looking like a full scale surrender from the Kurds to the Assad regime: https://twitter.com/rafsanchez/statu...29560265859072

They're surrendering to protect the civilians from the Turkish attacks.

Good news for Russia and Syria. They must be delighted to have a US President prone to making such poor decisions.
