Never trust the Russians.

Always treat the Russians as a treacherous, dishonest, utterly shameless and insidious actor. Then you will never be surprised by them.

Like all shameless actors they are always quick to play the victim when things they instigated don't go their way.

The SDF forces are resisting fiercely. At this point, not leaving the region is a certain death sentence but they try to remain in Tel Rifaat and Aleppo because these two cities are their most important and most valued first line of defence. The regime is aware of this situation which is why they still haven't fully pulled out their soldiers leaving them there under the control of PKK.

Once these settlements are cleared, the rebels get the upper hand and they will be able to choose time and place of any further action which obviously is a huge advantage at hand.

American stance is a bit confusing , the state department is blaming Assad , Russia and Iran for all that's happening ... what's your take a that ?......is America on your side ?

They don't have any emotional attachment to any party of this war. The US is simply waiting right now to see who gets the upper hand.

Christians in Aleppo are not bothered by the Syrian opposition forces. They act very professional in the town.

When you behave as a regional prostitute as the PKK has always done, you end up getting abused by your pimp and in the case of the PKK, her pimp is primarily America and Russia. That's the reality.

Of all the actors arguably the americans have always been the most slippery. Over their PKK project in Syria they have even threatened war against "NATO ally" Turkiye as in the case of Trumps letter to erdogan. However, if the PKK project looks like its failing the americans will be quick to throw the prostitutes under a bus and declare how great an ally Turkiye is in the "regional fight against terrorism".

A good example of this slippery nature is the taliban in Afghanistan, overnight they turned into a reasonable actors that the Americans can do business with, despite being at war with them for the previous 20 years.

Americans will always take when they can, but where it makes sense they will sit back with the hope to take again in the future.

I think they will abandon Tal Rifat, but Manbij I expect they will resist.

Nope. their preferred proxy is the SDF/PKK.

They are unsure about who to back. I'm not saying they oppose Iran losing their corridor to Lebanon and strategic depth in Syria, but they aren't exactly friendly with HTS, they have Jolani designated and they have themselves done airstrikes in Idlib. With the other rebel groups its a complicated element, b/c a lot of bridges were burned when they dumped them in favor of the SDF/PKK.

Once Aleppo and the Tel Rifaat pocket are liberated Manbij itself loses a little bit of its strategic priority because it's not the ideal ground for counterattacks due to its close proximity to the Turkish border an being surrounded by rebel forces. It has a symbolic importance for the PKK, though. It would mean the end of their presence in Western Syria.
