#BREAKING: I received this video from #SDF. First group of #Syria Arab Army troops entered #Manbij just an hour ago after #US SOF had its last remaining heavy equipment evacuated. Now, #SAA & #SDF are ready to defend the city against #Turkey #OperationPeaceSpring/#BarisPinari!

2 star flag of Syria on the tank...
While I hate seeing the SDF allied with the Damascus regime, with us, it was like we were sitting on our hands while the Turks and their forces could just beat the daylights out of the Kurds and the Christians. I mean, that is what is so galling over the past several days, to see the forces we supported get beat or their civilians.... and plus, Russia will be enforcing a no-fly zone....
It sounds like the SDF did not heavily prepare for the Turk invasion either, they thought maybe it would not come? That the US would be more forceful? What a horrible dark episode.
More from that account.
SAA (Syrian Arab Army- Assad forces) being welcomed into Manbij by SDF.
We had joint patrols with the Turks in Northern Syria, anyway, we will see. I'm glad they've got some help, what a sad affair.

Bottom line: it’s shameful to leave partners to their fate and the mercies of hostile actors with no thought, plan or process in place. I wish my former SDF colleagues the best as they find new patrons. We won a war together. That’s something nobody can take away from us.

McGurk is not perfect but it does sound like he helped out a whole, whole lot.

For international issues, I know who this Senator Jack Reed (D) of Rhode Island is, for international issues, I do think he's competent. Whether I could ever vote for what else the Dems stand for, domestically, well no... but on this other, some of these guys aren't too bad.
