Probably only point I disagree with Mike is that Kurdish majority areas will be governed by Kurds. That would be OK if there were any Kurdish majority areas in Northeast Syria but probably apart from Kobane (& Afrin used to be 90% Kurdish), there is none. Pretty much all the cities are majority Arab. I think 65% to 70% of Northeast Syria is Arab & 5% Christian. There is no way a group of Marxist Leninist Kurds can govern 70% Arab region for long.
To suggest that the US should have worked closely with Erdogan sounds like a call by a clandestine Turkish lobbyist. Turkey now supports HTS - an ex ISIS group - is this what the fellow from the Hudson Institute advertises? Perhaps also to get rid of Kurds like Turkey had done with the 1M of Armenians in 1916?

What a lineup!
Mike’s view is pretty persuasive on Syria
Bizzare to listen to people unquestioningly supporting Israel as if it was a religious duty.
Trump should use Mike as an Advisor.

Mike shut be envoy for the Middle East
Mike's grimace every time erdogan is brought up is hilarious... he came for whiskey, and he left no longer employed as an erdogan advisor
Don’t bring Turkey’s lobbyists

I quit like many
No wonder there are no comments to this juvenile chit chat …. more seriously lying and ignoring history.
