So you now have Russia supporting one side while actively seeking to support the other, how does that work?

Seems a decent way to reintegrate the Kurds into the Syrian polity, unite against a common enemy..
Unlike Turkey, Syria has not tried to crush their Kurdish minority, so given no other choice, the Kurds will opt for Syria.
If there was any US national interest in Syria, it is not easily discernible, so Trump should be applauded for cutting the loss.
