Do tell:
“After Idlib our target is east of the Euphrates,” said [Syrian foreign minister] Walid al-Moualem, adding that the area, like all parts of Syria, had to return to Syrian sovereignty.
I'm not sure if Assad has enough supporters to wage war in the east.
But I'm not sure if America is willing to fight very hard for the east.
The Kurds will fight. Will they have the weapons and numbers to do so?
And Iran will fight with their Shia foreign legion. Can Iran afford that?
It is possible that there might be a lot of chest thumping and poo flinging along the Euphrates River deconfliction line (DCL), but little actual serious fighting.
Plus, is the war in the west over even after Idlib falls?
