After Idlib is finished, Syria lays in ruins and Assad has full grab of power again. No Kurdish question there. Who could ask the Kurdish question, would be dead, or outside Syria.


For Turkey this question remains. And that is why Erdoghan wants to prevent the offensive so that the Turkish-supported miiltias that Erdoghan also uses against the Kurds, can survive and do not get lost as a weapon to supress the Kurds.



And that is a good reason why not to stop the offensive. The west playxed the syria game terribly wrong from all beginning on, and it is clear since years that any road to peace leads over a full victory of Assad and Russia. The longer the West supports anti-Assad militias, the longer the war will continue and the longer the suffering will go on. By stopping this support, the war gets shortened - and Erdoghan gets hit, which is in Europe's interest. But they do not want to hit Erdoghan, instead they once again play fould on the Turks.


European malice and self-deception at its best.


No I have not turned into a fan of Assad, and I know perfectly well what kind of slaughterer he is. I am just a realist, and I reject wishful day dreams that get paid for in even more civilians' blood. The smalller of two messes is right this: the smaller of two messes.


Interetsingly, if I may remind of this, when all this started years ago, Israel was agauinst removing Assad fro power. The known and predictable evil is better than the unknown, unpredictable evil. What would be if Assad wuold get killed, nobody can say, and that holds its own threats and risk. But the once euphemistically so-called Arab spring gives us an idea, maybe.
