Russia Asserting Dominance in Northern Syria

Russia is moving to fill the vacuum left by the US in Northern Syria after President Trump at long last ordered American forces to withdraw from that hell hole. Russia looks poised to check the Turks' aggression. The media could not be more enraged to see 'Russia in assent and America in retreat' but I say Putin and the Russians are the real losers here. They've just inherited all the problems the US left behind! Maybe Putin will take back Afghanistan too?
