1. The first foregin force that should leave Syria..
Truth ,   Europe   (10.30.17)
...is the Israeli Occupation Forces that has occupied and raped a part of Syria since 1967.
2. Good luck with that agreement
Godfried Manche ,   Sofia, Hungary   (10.30.17)
This proposal calls for Syria to outsource its sovereignty to Russia + US, which is counter to their whole struggle. They have invited Russia + Iran in, and the US is not invited, yet you want a Russian-US agreement?

The US has made its bed, and doesn't have much to offer. Perhaps some better planning next time will help the US and Israel. The solution to this problem is in front of everyone's faces. It's called fair dealing, and respecting people's sovereignty. In the age of the internet, it is not so easy to subvert, lie, and pull the wool over people's eyes over a long period of time. Syria proves that.
3. Iran/Iraq forces have grabbed Kurdish border crossing
C   (10.30.17)
kurdish held border crossing faysh khabur in northern syria has been grabbed
by iranian and iraqi forces.
this military strike was carried out by iranian revolutionary guard forces
under the command of gen. qassem soleimani.
kurdish peshmerga forces were forced into retreat.
kurdish regions are thereby surrounded and basically under undeclared
siege by iran and its iraqi partners.
land access to american military forces is also cut off.
iran's shia terror regime is close to its goal of building the shia land
bridge between iran and lebanon through syria.

neither russia, an iran ally, nor the united states, lifted a finger to stop
iran.
it is obvious that putin is not interested in curtailing iran's hegemonic
goals in the middle east.
trump needs better strategists who understand that iran is the major
threat in the region.
after the bush and obama disasters, trump is left without good options.
this is the time to show real leadership.
leave israel alone.
4. That's what World gets for not smothering Vlad in his crib!

5. No need for package deal. Israel simply dictates Russia.
Steve Benassi ,   Minneapolis USA   (10.31.17)
Putin complies because he has no choice since Israel can destroy his foothold in Middle East in no time.
