Syria: The US builds a military base near Kurdish-held Manbij

I heard some where turkey will attack that position.

F-35 could be deployed there to attack.

F-35 could be deployed there to attack.

... Let's say no one saw that.

I just see this news as a confirmation that the "Syrian cake" is being shared up.
@hussain0216 I agree with most of your assertions about the kurds. The Kurds are interested(like everybody else) in economic success AND independence/sovereignty. They have and will get more of the former(economic development) but regional and world powers will play with/use/manipulate their independence drive/ autonomy for their selfish gains.

the Kurd's will suffer as all regional states and people's will see them as an enemy

The only enemy people see are the wilayat-alfaqih drones.

How is that you like to see American troops stationed in Syria? It seems you really want Syria to be partitioned but i dont know why

Iraqi Kurdistan is already treated as a de facto independent state by many countries around the world, including a handful of countries in the Middle East. It has gone around Baghdad so many times in order to make deals and economic partnerships with other countries, including neighboring countries such as Turkey. The Jordanians give the Iraqi Kurds visa-free access to their country, but they don't do that with the Iraqi Arabs. Many regional embassies treat Iraqi Kurdistan as a separate country from Iraq.

Dubai is investing heavily in Iraqi Kurdistan's infrastrucutre and neglecting places like Basra, even though Basra is also politically stable and desperate for foreign investment. Abu Dhabi is planning to sell fighter jets to Erbil even though Baghdad is against it. Abu Dhabi has also established strong ties with Ahmad Jarba of the Syrian Democratic Forces. The Lebanese have opened universities and high schools in Iraqi Kurdistan without Baghdad's consent as well.

This is the real world. People look after their own interests.

All countries in the region can be considered tools of the West. It doesn't change the realities on the ground one bit. There's a difference between emotional rhetoric and realism. Realism always wins in the end.

so what stops them from officially recognizing Kurdistan as an independent state?

everyone want relation with sane warlords in region, it does not mean they recognize their fiefdoms as state..

By Israel ?!

Turkish S-400's will be deployed somewhere close to it. Future decades are ripe for even more interesting events.
