A US official adds, “To be honest with you, it would be better for the US to support a Kurdish nation across Turkey/Syria/Iraq. It would be another Israel in the region."

"Also Americans should question what "good for US interests" really means and who's interests exactly it points to. It is very arguable even the best case scenario fits the interests of the regular folk in the US to have another fragile state in its zone of influence that requires large amounts of tax money and lives thrown at it at regular intervals just to keep alive."

I wonder how Turkey is going to handle the mess that it seems to be intent on making in North Syria along with the ISIS camp along the possibility the US might pullout.Does Turkey move south for the oil? How is this going to be administered and paid for especially if the SDF just lays down their arms and stays. These people weren't all PKK. How many joined the SDF to protect themselves,family and friends etc.
