US air force backs Kurds against Syrian push east of Euphrates

A few hours after a Russian-backed Syrian force captured a string of US-backed Kurdish SDF villages east of the Euphrates on Sunday, Kurdish forces mounted a counter-offensive to push them back with US air support. The US also announced that “The coalition used established de-confliction channels [with the Russian command in Syria] to de-escalate the situation.”

    Syria is a much too large and unmanageable territory, does not form a country (never did!) and is a dangerously explosive mix of cultures, religions, and nationalities, much worst than even the crazy Lebanon.

    The de-confliction zone misunderstandings, just got diedly. Just because Trump said the U.S. was pulling out, was not a sign of weakness. Putin, Ali Khamenei, and Assad are equating Trump with Hussein, bad idea.

        how about nuking New York or maybe target in Canada more attractive , but the best is Dimona plant , that will lift all negev to space –it will look like volcano since American build in negev experimental facilities in the ground linked to Dimona nuclear core . Maybe even Israelis not aware , that one right shot in proper place , and there will be no negev .
