This sounds compelling and conclusive. Let's see. Good news for Syrian nationalism, not good news for Kurdish project.
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. 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.
Perhaps you didn't read what you wrote before hitting the send button", or perhaps you mean something quite different than what most people understand as "Good news".
