D-day for Al-Qaeda types to leave Idlib (no disarmament!) 15/10.
No mention of where they are going. Not going to be Turkey!
So Afrin? then on to fight the Kurds in Manbij as one of the Turkish pincers? possible?
Turks will not be able to attack Manbij unless they are integrated otherwise they might have to look to their rear?
Seems odd the Russians would agree to Turkey moving these forces back to fight another day, but I guess they just want to stick it to the US and don't care about those in the crossfire? Given allegiances constantly shifting, I guess these guys all feel like mercenaries now and will take on anyone for a paycheck?
Or maybe they want them in an isolated spot in Afrin for some of that 'liquidation' that Lavrov demanded?
