You won’t hear this I’m the mainstream media.
But they’re now starting to fight for themselves in Syria. This is exactly what President Trump wanted to see, these people fighting for themselves.
Syrian Troops Pouring Into Northern Syrian Towns, allying themselves with Kurds and raising Syrian Flags on Government buildings, and digging in.
They’re fighting for themselves now, this is what the President wanted to see. Stand up for yourselves! It’s not our job anymore!

Forces loyal to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad took up positions Monday in several key towns across northeastern Syria, state media and a war monitoring group reported, following a last-minute agreement with local Kurdish fighters to ward off a Turkish assault.
Syrian troops deployed to Ain Issa and Tabqa — on the outskirts of Raqqa — and raised the Syrian flag over government buildings in cities such as Qamishli and Hasakeh, according to pro-government media. One report, in al-Watan newspaper, said government forces had reached the towns of Kobane, a garrison for Syrian Kurdish militants, and Manbij, where U.S. troops had been stationed.
In Ain Issa, the headquarters of the Kurdish-led administration, government troops arrived atop pickup trucks waving Syrian flags, according to images published by state news agency, SANA.
