Turkey (Protecting ISIS), Russia's Involvement in Syria, US Bases in Syria, Turkey and NATO, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Kurdish State,A Change Pipeline and Oil Logistics

Russia's involvement in Syria has been a great help in fighting ISIS, but their main focus has been anti-Syrian rebels which the US is directly supporting, not to include the Kurds, which on the other hands have been helping the US defeat the Kurds. Here is the take, we should be protecting the Kurds, not by indirect confrontation with the Russians because it would cause a wider war and risk a world war over a small country not that important for the risk. We should have just either CIA operatives on the ground, very view special forces embedded with the Kurds, Free Syrian Army, or be arming the Kurds with heavy weapons to counteract the Russians and Turkish forces. So what if we make Turkey mad, they have been smuggling oil from ISIS anyway and harboring ISIS members across the border anyway.

All US bases and troops should be withdrawn from Turkey because of Turkey playing 2 sides, just as Pakistan has played us with Afghanistan, Taliban and hiding Bin Laden, so to we should withdraw any funding, withdraw our troops and bases from Turkey. In fact, why are they part of  NATO? The Kurds for their good deeds in helping to eradicate ISIS should be given a country and with American backing.

A Kurdish state in the region would establish a buffer zone between Iran and Saudi Arabia and we could station troops in the newly established Kurdistan. We could even get Saudi Arabia's backing and establish more military positioning in Saudi Arabia and the new Kurdistan, revamping having troops in two-faced Turkey.

Turkey should not be part of NATO if it is not serving its purpose and supporting the full null goals and objectives to what NATO and the US want to accomplish in the region. But the EU would still support them because of the geopolitical and strategic position.

All this would put our focus not inside Syria, but on the protection of Saudi Arabia, support for a newly established Kurdistan and Afghanistan, giving us 3 launching points. This is all about protecting oil. We do not need an oil pipeline through Iraq or Syria, we could pipe the oil and gas to the south of the Saudi Arabian coast and the United Arab Emirates and Oman, for the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Aden is becoming chess moves in themselves, where Russia has airbases in Iran and China in the Gulf of Aden.

Without Russia, Assad would not exist.
