My Comments:

The big winners here will also be the Kurdish people. There is already a Kurdish autonomous region in northern Iraq, which has turned out to be surprisingly successful (and also somewhat democratic).

Parts of northern Syria are presently militarily occupied by Turkey, under the guise of keeping the Kurdish independence movement inside Turkey from getting material and manpower support from the Kurdish people living inside Syria.

Israel supports the Kurdish independent movement in Iraq because Israel does not mind the creation of another Sunni Muslim country as a buffer between Shia Iran and their neighborhood.  

Jordan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Syria see the danger and live with the existential threat posed by Turkey and the Muslim Brotherhood terrorists. 

The statement  

• stop foreign interference in Syria's internal affairs

is aimed directly at Turkey and the United States who have both been stealing millions of barrels of Syrian oil for many years now.

Using the divide and rule policy, the Americans and their Turkish poodle have stolen billions of dollars worth of Syrian oil. They did exactly  the same in Iraq and they are doing exactly the same in Libya TODAY. 

In Iraq the Americans simply shipped out millions of barrels of free Iraqi oil - as part of their spoils of war. They are doing the same in Libya.   'There are only so many places at the table. Either you are in or you are out'.

The Americans kept the Saudis, the Egyptians, the Jordanians scared and frightened by a bunch of things including Iran, ISIS and the Muslim Brotherhood which they controlled through Turkey or directly by themselves.

Now with the thaw in relations between Saudi Arabia, Iran, Syria, Egypt, Jordan and Iraq this American divide and rule may not be as frightening anymore.

Behind all this is Russia which todate did not confront American troops (and planes) directly in Syria. But with the British American war against Russia in Ukraine this may present an opportunity for stepping up military action against the US and Turkey in Syria as well. With the participation of Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Jordan, Syria and Egypt (directly or quietly).   

As the world turns.
