The US, Turkey vs. The Kurds and Daesh


Lets Get Real:

The US should place US troops in the buffer zone within Syria, this could seen as the US protecting its ally Turkey, but also making sure that Turkey does not think its a free fire zone to target the Kurds.    The Obama obsession with a Iran deal has come through, thus its time for the Oval Office to deal with Daesh in Syria and Iraq.    The Western allies could use the buffer zone as away to place special forces in Syria, take the fight to IS and keep an eye on what the Syrians get up to, to check any use of WMD that Assad still has when the war reaches crisis point for his regime.    Of course the devil is in the details!

Buffer Zone in Syria - Daesh Threat


Lets Get Real:

This is an excellent development, the US and Turkey can now have a grown up strategy to deal with IS, the worry is that Turkey will go after the Kurds for internal Turkish reasons.   The US should offer to guard the buffer zone, this should ease the worries of the Kurds and also allow the US to place ground troops IN Syria to fight IS.   This is going to be a long WAR, the above development allows for a full strategy to deal with Daesh in Syria and Iraq.
