Richard Engel: "Putin became the kingmaker in Syria today"

Putin became the kingmaker in Syria today as he and Erdogan
carved up the Kurd’s homeland. Geopolitically, it’s a win for
Russia. On a human level, the Kurds think it’s a catastrophe.
Their fate is now the hands of Putin, Erdogan and Assad - and
they don’t trust any of them.




NBC News NOW:

The U.S. is not going to be in the same position to be watching
over this territory … It will instead be Russia, Turkey, the Assad regime,
and in this chaotic transition there is certainly an opportunity for ISIS.”
