Shadowed Forest of World Politics. William deB. Mills. Syrian Kurds: A Losing Strategy to Avoid. Turkey’s Palestinians →. Turkish Democracy at Tipping Point. Erdogan, the Mideastern leader who achieved regional preeminence by his good neighbor policy and policy of treating domestic Kurds with a greater measure of justice, has now asserted the right to deny statehood to Syrian Kurds.

Washington has undermined its own position in Syria by essentially giving Erdogan control over U.S. strategy, which offers Moscow the opportunity to use its Shi’i contacts to offer Washington a deal it cannot refuse.
