VOA/AFP: Syria Condemns US Top General's Visit to Kurdish-Held Northeast
Damascus, Syria — Syria's foreign ministry Sunday condemned a surprise visit by the United States' top military officer to an army base in the Kurdish-held northeast, dubbing it "illegal," state media said.
In his snap visit Saturday, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Milley met U.S. troops stationed in areas of war-torn Syria under the control of the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).
About 900 U.S. troops are deployed in several bases and posts across northeastern Syria as part of the fight against Islamic State group remnants.
The official news agency SANA quoted a foreign ministry official as saying, "Syria strongly condemns the illegal visit of the American chairman of the chiefs of staff to an illegal American military base in northeast Syria."

Kurdish is part of the Iranian language family. It would be good for the Kurdish regions to join Iran. If the Kurds were free, they would fo8und their own nations first and not join Iran although I believe it would be beneficial, if the current shitheads were no longer ruling Iran. It would only work via consent.
Any joining would have to make allowances for Kurdish like Canada does for French. After that gravitational forces would take over.
Usually assholes cannot wait for gravity.
You are the world's biggest optimist.
