    Well it makes sense from some of the other threads posted, the US expanding it's bases in northern Syria, it wouldn't be right to leave them at the mercy of Turkey after they've fought ISIS, I believe they have 90% of Raqqa at the moment anyway and as far as I'm concerned they've damned well earned it.

    Syria is a sovereign nation, and only Iran and Russia have been invited so the US is an invader. Forgetting that though, they did put the American troops along the border to protect the Kurds from the other invaders; Turkey.

    Russia, Iran and Syria came to an agreement about separating the Western supported FSA from Al Queda and ISIS, something Lavrov has been asking Kerry to do for years but to no avail. Once they are separated from the terrorists, they will be able together to demolish Al Queda and ISIS once and for all.

    The Kurds have to be admired for their stance. They are very brave fighters.

    What damn right do you or anyone else have to tell the Syrian people and the UN what their established borders should be? It isn't as if anyone is living in an apartheid system like the Russians are in the Baltics... which considering deserve to have their own country.

    You're forgetting this, which includes all of Syria:

    I'm for whatever those Kurdish women fighters are for. They are putting their skin in the game.

    I want to 2nd this comment and add that along with another poster about their women fighting alongside and even ahead of them at times.. Go Kurds! What a resilient, indomitable people. Unlike those obnoxious crybaby Palestinians. Kurds don't talk much but fight plenty.

    These people are the Fedayken of our age. ( you have to understand the DUNE reference) I believe it applies.

    I would 100% be behind carving out a Kurdish state in Northern Iraq for them like we did Israel after the big war. God knows they've earned it

    And the Syrian people have been putting theirs on the line for five years to preserve their country.

    The Kurds are a ticklish situation. The majority live in Turkey and other than a civil war which has been raging wth the PKK, there is a subtle genocide going on. Turkey fears a Kurdish state on its border in Syria since it will align with the Kurds in Turkey, and threaten their territorial integrity.

    To solve the problem, Russia supports a federal solution where a Kurdish homeland will remain part of Syria. The US wants them to have their own country so that together with a Sunni state will split Syria from Iran... something Russia is adamantly against since it will affect them negatively.

    Anyway this is how it stands.

    "to tell the Syrian people" you talk aagin about alawites and shiias, its only about 10%, Kurds hate baath, 90% of all women killed in "syria" are sunni arabs, what do you think their men feel about iran, muscovy, and alawites?

    The logical solution is for a Kurdish nation to be cut out of their homeland in Turkey since that's where most of them live. This is what has panicked Erdogan.

    The Syrian Sunnis voted for Assad. The video taken at the UN does not lie. You're thinking of the Sunni foreign terrorists. They are not Syrian.
