Russia/USA shooting at Russia/USA?
Good luck with that.
Kurds are there to soak up the bullets. And soak them up they will.

No my friend. It has always been about one thing and one thing only, Kurdistan. Grabbing land (with oil fields for income for a future "economy)" is a pre-requesite. The U.S provides the umbrella for protection they need. The U.S in return gets a new base of operations in the M.E and weakens both Syria/Iraq...while strategically positioning itself to wreck havoc and destebilize both Turkey(if need be) and Iran. Israel will cheer along and help in this endevour, as will the monarchies with vested interests in seeing Iran weakened to avoid getting swallowed by the Shia crescent and all that it accompanies. Textbook great game chess plays.
Russia's position continues to be muddy on this issue, and particularly weak. Unless the Russians are in on the racket as well, ultimately agreeing with the U.S on many fronts - mainly that curtailing Iran's geopolitical control (and its growth) is beneficial for itself, as well as gaining a dagger with which to poke and stab Turkey (long time foe). That Syria and Iraq get to be sacrificial lambs is, well,collateral damage. Could the Russian elite rationalize something like this? Absolutely, despite what we, ourselves, might want to project as the Russian position, i.e the noble one buried in some strategic 6D Chess.
At this point in the game, both Syria/Iraq have little in say to change the game (as weak and dependent as they're now). The Kurd issue is ultimately an Iranian/Turkish/Iraqui/Syrian problem. Never trust Russia/China/U.S to fix it for ya. The big powers will play their little geopolitical games and will feast on the division, ineptness and lack of decisive action as a united front on this issue - aka you'll get fucked over - it's after all, not their land they're playing with, but a foreign playground.
Lol, the Turkish SeigSoloyvov here
Russia knows perfectly who is doing what. If the US attacks the Syrian Armed Forces, the retaliation will go to the US paramilitary forces. Not to the Kurds.
Are you naive to think US would send its own troops to frontline? They were pushing like hell the SDF parties mostly composed of kurds to intervene in DeZ battle. If they had their own, what would be their reason to compromise critical time for resource pursuit?
Even if they have their own mercenaries, ratio would be like 1 US operative vs 50 kurdish/sdf militant. What is the plan then?
I bet none of the Kurdish-lovers here dont know what kind of mindset a seperatist kurd has. Secret kurds here cannot hide themselves anymore.
I really wonder what will be their reaction when Russia will have to obey US warnings regarding Kurds, I bet those seperatist fanboys will claim it is "strategic thinking"
Your romantism ends where reality shows up
Two that need an explanation of what a US paramilitary group is.
