Kurd Kommies redeploy to dodge Turkish offensive in Tal Rafat

[ColonelCassad] It is reported from Syria that the Kurds from the YPG have transferred the settlements on the front line around Tal Rifat
...also spelt Tal Rifaat ...
under the control of the SAA and the military police of the Russian Federation in order to avoid the Turkish offensive operation. Russian flags appeared on the front line. Turkish sources say that "the Kurds are again cowardly hiding from the might of the Turkish army behind Russian flags."

The Syrians write that the presence of the YPG in Tal Rifat is also declining and that the Kurds this time have a brain. Russian reconnaissance and combat aircraft were spotted in the Tal Rifat area.

If the area is taken under the control of the military police of the Russian Federation and the SAA (according to the scheme of transferring settlements on the front line around Manbij), then we have a scheme.

Assad is demonstratively preparing for an offensive in Idlib.

Erdogan is demonstratively preparing for an offensive on Tal Rifat.

Kurds from the YPG again transfer part of the occupied territory to Assad and the Russian Federation in order to avoid the offensive of the Turkish army. Profit.

If they do not, then the Afrin variant is always possible, when the Kurds did not convey anything, but they did not like the consequences.

Actually, in the near future it will be determined what they agreed on and what Erdogan and Putin did not agree on.

All that's left is to wait. The main goal remains unchanged: increasing the territorial control of Bashar al-Assad over the territory of Syria. The alternative to this is repeated meetings with Erdogan and his minions.

The United States has repeatedly shown that it and Erdogan are not going to fight over the Kurds, so they have to turn to the Russian Federation and Assad for real protection.

The Turks today noted the shelling of the Kurds from 155mm artillery in the direction of Tal-Temer. The shelling went on for 3 hours.

The Turkish Defense Ministry announced five dead. Also, the Turks do not particularly hide the fact that they actively use drones in the hunt for SDF / YPG field commanders.

Due to the deteriorating economic situation in Turkey, a small victorious operation in Syria against the Kurds would be very beneficial for Erdogan. But in the current realities, if it is possible, then perhaps as a serious exchange of most of Idlib for an operation against the Kurds.

It is also worth noting that unidentified persons have fired on oil refineries in the American occupation zone of Deir ez-Zor today. Most likely, new missiles from Iran arrived at the Iranian proxy. The recent shelling of At-Tanf shows that Iran is ready for its proxy forces in Syria to switch to a systematic pin-prick regime on American assets in Syria in the same way as it was done in Iraq, where the shelling of American bases and attacks on American convoys became systematic.

The goal of such a strategy is to force the United States to withdraw its troops from Syria (as in Afghanistan) or at least reduce its presence (as in Iraq) through systematic pressure.
