    As posted, no foreign interests care about south west Syria any more as long as Iranian interests keep well clear of the Israeli border.

    Therefore if Putin wants to keep Trump out of the south west he will need to keep Khamenei out of there ……… or at least at the tail end and on a very temporary basis.

    We all know that Trump can't move forces out of the north east if the US is ever going to entice another small armed force to side with it over the next 100 years of so. If he does move US forces out the SDF would IMHO disintegrate unless some sort of local government autonomy deal is done. Regardless of whether you consider Assad to be legitimate or illegitimate he and his flunky advisers are idiots. All or nothing stances don't work with the Kurds.

    cheers
