[QUOTE="farid_h, post: 15240776, member: 92820"] [b]Problems for the Kurds[/b] But if Turkey is pleased by America’s disengagement, the U.S.-backed Kurds should worry. Continued American assistance is assured as long as the war against the Islamic State continues, but it’s likely to end once the circumstances change, because Turkey, despite its clashes with Washington, will remain a more important ally than the Kurds, whose role will end together with the Islamic State. Thus the Syrian Kurds are likely to seek a more reliable ally than the United States in their war against Turkish domination, and it’s not ridiculous to think that Iran, which has proved a loyal patron of Shi’ite militias in Iraq and Syria, might fill this role. Iran already has close ties with Iraqi Kurdistan, and it doesn’t have any disagreement with the Syrian Kurds over Assad staying in power. With Iranian and Russian support, the Kurds could win a seat at negotiations on Syria’s future, from which they have hitherto been excluded under Turkish pressure, with American consent. Trump’s decision recalls Washington’s abandonment of the Iraqi Shi’ites whom it encouraged to revolt against Saddam Hussein after the 1991 Gulf War. The aid the United States promised never arrived, and tens of thousands of Shi’ites were killed. Back then, President George H.W. Bush feared that helping the Shi’ites would empower Iran, so he chose to leave Saddam in place as a bulwark against Tehran. Now Trump is lifting the last obstacles to Iran’s entrenchment in Syria while relying on Russia to stop the Iranian inroads. A scenario where the Arab states would utilize Washington’s disengagement to offer Assad a return to the Arab fold and massive aid to rebuild his country in exchange for reforms that would include sharing power with his political rivals isn’t currently in the cards.
