This is not Turkey’s war only.
President Trump, though he won’t pull back, doesn’t appear vaguely interested in the Middle East, but America under Mr Obama and Britain under Mr Cameron promised Turkey territory in Northern Syria in return for its support in the break up of Syria. After all Turkey has laid claim to parts of Northern Syria after Britain and France drew lines early last century.
Britain gained support for its operations by making promises to the Israelis the Jordanians, the Turks and the Turkish Kurds. The Islamists entered Syria from Turkey and Jordan, where there is also a Muslim Brotherhood movement, as well as from Iraq.
Probably the Kurds in Hasaka have been overrun by Turkish Kurds.
I know a Kurdish man from Hasaka and he went to Lebanon for work as do a lot of his contemporaries from Hasaka and Qamishli.
This situation is difficult, and it’s as well to remember Russia is dependent on good relations with Turkey also.
