putin where he could pull out the turkish backed muslim brotherhood fighters out of aleppo and use them to go into -- to have turkish troops go down and join with the militias to keep the kurds separated so that they don't join up coming from the east and join up with their fellow kurds to the west, which would provide almost like a constant flow right under the southern border of turkey. turks are not going to put up with that. the other regional allies are not going to put up with that. they don't want to see a unifie kurdistan that has political sovereignty own that much territory. >> captain nash, based on what you just said pointing out how erdogan and putin made up, does that play in favor of president-elect trump who speaks of having dialogue and a relationship with putin? >> i think pluresident-elect trp is going to be forced into cutting a deal with the russians and the reason is because the turks it appears are now working against the people we're supporting, which are the kurds, and working on behalf of the interests of the russians, not on behalf of the interests of the
