The Kurds who accepted an enemy-of-my-enemy alliance with Assad against ISIS 8 years ago and have been fairly quiet since?

A suggestion here that the SDF may be preparing to move against Assad.

Rumors are emerging that the #SDF -- led by its Arab forces -- may be prepping an offensive on #Assad regime positions in #Raqqa, while Arab #SDF units in Deir ez Zour are also mobilizing, taking multiple villages from regime control along the #Euphrates.

The Kurdish-led forces played a major role in routing ISIS. Do you expect them to conquer Damascus?

Apparently it's not completely off the cards. If the Kurds switch sides and join in with the Idlib rebels (HTS+FSA) then I think they very well could take Damascus, yes, and within days. This looks like collapse in the Syrian Armed Forces, the rebels have taken Hama in the last few hours

Deserve everything a caliphate state under sharia law will impose on them .

The SDF (Kurdish led and dominated then, less so now afaik) only managed that with significant US+ support, mainly air and intelligence.

I'm not convinced that's going to happen. Idlib in the last 8 years has not been the Islamic State.
