Concerning SAA move on Afrin...
Few points should be put ahead...
ASSad gave a list of conditions to YPG, like having full control; no more weapons whatsoever, whatever in civilian or militia hands, and Afrin civilians to be incorporated into the conscripts...
By those few conditions... Turkey can't do anything about it... since it will put YPG/PKK with no power of actions. And therefore the Olive Branch op is no more.
Other may say..."But how can we be sure?" Well it's simple... Say Hi to Russia... they will mostly come ahead to check for it...
So all those TSK/FSA dead...will be for nothing... Again...
Let's hope Turkey do not care about this and continue (unlikely)... but you guys can stop fantasizing about TR going in frontal fight/war with ASSad... just stop right here... "If YPG accept ASSad condition of total surrender"...TR can't do anything..;they gonna swallow it and move on.
