#3 I betcha that with a little subtlety, DJT and Putin could agree on an independent Kurdistan as a useful diplomatic solution to both Turkey and Iran (who seem to be working in concert against the Kurds) |

#1 A major Turkish Military convoy entered Syria over night escorted and guided by Al Qaeda through Idlib towards the front line of Syrian forces. It was halted by Russian fighter jets that dropped bombs 2 km in front of the convoy and then flew over the convoy. At last report, all of the Turkish military vehicles in the large column turned their headlights off and waited for orders in the darkness. All of this was reported with video by Kurdish spotters in the Idlib area. |
