German media: Syria is now Putin's playing field
Kremlin television seemed to specifically order this scene: American troops and Assad regime units meet on the northern Syria highway. Special forces in an on-board vehicle flying the flag of Damascus and US armored vehicles diverge in different directions. This is a summary on German television channels, where such a meeting on the Syrian road was called "sad."
- Christoph Erhardt and Friedrich Schmidt write about this for the German media Frankfurter Algemeine.
According to them, taking advantage of the success achieved, the President of the Russian Federation made a symbolic trip to the close allies of the United States - to Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
According to German reporters, from the point of view of Putin, the tour fits perfectly at the time of the transformation of the Russian Federation into an increasingly significant force in Syria, and throughout the region.
Russian state television worthily praised the "betrayal" by the Kurdish Americans, which became a signal to countries outside the Middle East - "unimportant for the Russians in the region." Dmitry Kiselyov quoted a Polish newspaper in his weekly broadcast: Will America and Poland fail now just as they did the Kurds?
It should be noted here that the material was released before the meeting of Recep Erdogan with Mike Pence. During this meeting, Turkey and the United States agreed to cease fire by the Turks and the PAS in northern Syria during 120 hours, and the Americans pledged "to withdraw Kurdish formations from the north of the SAR" in an organized manner.
As Erhardt and Schmidt point out, Putin himself loves to exhibit himself as a weaver of cobwebs and a peacemaker, "even when he aviation bomb hospitals "(at least somehow German reporters tried to offend Russia).
"The Russian military maintained contact with the Kurds, Turks and Syrians," diplomats in the Russian Federation explain. Similarly, according to journalists, contacts are being made with Iran, Saudi Arabia, Israel, Egypt and Turkey.
- writes the edition.
For example, "even the agreements of the oppressed Kurds with the damask vassals of Putin" do not turn Moscow and Ankara into opponents: everyone is under control. As a result, the Russian proposal, according to which Erdogan gains control over a narrow strip along the border, and Assad over the rest of Syria, can become a reality. As the representative of the Peskov authorities explained, he generally does not want to think about a confrontation with Turkey, they conclude in the German media.
Joyless picture
This is a picture of the transfer of power by a player leaving the war zone. President Donald Trump has not only left his long-standing Kurdish allies at the mercy of fate. He leaves the playing field, passing it to Vladimir Putin

The Russian ruler knows how to control himself and not push anyone away from himself
