The fight is now between rebel factions supported by the US (SDF) and its NATO ally, Turkey (SNA).
SDF consists mainly of Kurds - the Shias - whom Turkey considers terrorists, all out to carve out Kurdistan from the territories belonging to Turkey, Syria, Iraq and Iran. SNA (the Syrian National Army), on the other hand, is being funded and trained by Turkey.
The US feels only the SDF can give a stable government that would accommodate different warring factions.
Iran and Russia, though 'beaten' temporarily, will want their pound of flesh too.
....Dangerous times!
Tailpiece.
Got up a trifle late, the chores and was ready by a quarter to 10.
The maid was at work today.
A quiet Monday!
