A Russian air protection zone to protect the Kurds

(B2) Are we on the eve of a tactical turn in Syria? In any case, the latest contacts between Kurds and Americans suggest that

« I need to know if you are able to protect my people Kurdish General Mazloum Kobani Abdi, commander-in-chief of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), told the Global Coalition against Daesh's deputy special envoy, William Roebuck, during a meeting on Thursday, according to an internal US document obtained by CNN. " If can't do it, I have to make a deal with Russia and the regime now and invite their planes to protect this area. ».

If this eventuality occurred, the Americans would, through their policy, have contributed in some way to the regime in Damascus and to the Russians to regain control of part of Syria. Nice result.
