Seems like a Syrian-Russian-Iranian-Turkish long term strategy to kick US out of the region and put pressure on the Kurds, give up the regime change and return the Syrians in Turkey to Syria as they pose a social and economical strain on Turkey.
Turkey realized that change isn’t happening in Damascus and it cannot keep antagonizing bordering states such as Syria and Iran, especially after the conflicting interests with Saudi Arabia and UAE and cornering it’s rich ally Qatar.
As for the Kurds, they unfortunately always put all their eggs in the wrong basket, always thinking that the US or Israel are reliable allies. I don’t expect a powerful military like Turkey to face any real challenge. The Kurds are not united and have made former allies into enemies which means no one is going to back them up.
There probably will be minimal clashes before a full Kurdish withdrawal similar to what happened in Iraq.
