This sounds compelling and conclusive. Let's see.

You've got to explain... HOW can an ISIS-enabling Islamist be "Good news
for Syrian nationalism..."?

Because Syria is Russias very long term national partner, and Turkey is
also making up with Russia. ISTM that Turkey will back off completely
now and stop sending the jihadis to Syria.

That's because the plan changed. The US and Russia are going to divvy up Syria now. Partition time. OFC that won't happen overnight, but it's now inevitable.


Could be wrong of course, but I don't think Russia would accept
rapproachment if Turkey keeps fighting Syria. I.e., Erdogan will have
his hand in the Russian Turk Stream money pot, and will give up Syrian
ISIS oil smuggling trade in return - he will make MUCH more money
shipping Russian gas, then laundering ISIS oil. Just pragmatism.

That's great for Turkey (barring the scenario I presented above), but I don't see that it's in any way good for "Syrian nationalism"...

....and that was the question at hand.

As far as your other missive's link goes:

Erdogan Taunts Obama Over Coup Attempt in Turkey
Erdogan will not forgive the Obama administration for leading him up the
garden path on Syria, convincing him that Washington was leaving no
stone unturned to overthrow the Assad regime
http://atimes.com/2016/07/erdogan-taunts-obama-over-turkeys-coup-bid/

Erdogan's hand is ISIS, and they're already all over Europe thanks to the Russian AF rout, and they ARE mixed in with the refugee population, and they HAVE terrorized those refugees to not talk, and IF Erdogan doesn't get a BIG part of the Syrian Partition pie... Selah...

Perhaps you didn't read what you wrote

different than what most people understand as "Good news".
