I have been warning about the brewing showdown in Syria and how it could quickly escalate in minutes to the brink of World War III. A key warning embedded in my analyses was that if not properly managed, the Turks would enter the war against the Kurds, which are the most effective US proxy against ISIL. I warned that should this occur; the Kurds would be once again left for dead by the US in order to maintain its strategic alliance with the Turks. This would not only place the US fully in league with the Al-Qaeda aligned Al-Nusra Front and other Free Syrian Army (FSA) factions, but would also alienate the Kurds to great detriment of the anti-ISIL effort. Well, these warnings have gone unheeded and this week we are seeing the first solid open source reports of the factions beginning to turn against the US. This is a watershed moment that if not immediately mitigated through changes in US strategic policy, will result in the US being completely ejected from Syria and Iraq, the creation of a terrorist caliphate, or World War III. Those are your policy choices.
