The absurdity of a Turkish “safe zone” proposal
[Rudaw] In his latest phone call with Ottoman Turkish president Erdogan, US president Trump apparently proposed a 20 mile (32 kilometers) deep Ottoman Turkish-controlled "safe zone" in northern Syria. This zone would presumably go 400 kilometers along the Ottoman Turkish-Syrian border from the Euphrates river to the Iraqi border. Mr. Erdogan reportedly agreed to the idea immediately.

Erdogan’s assent to Mr. Trump’s idea should come as no surprise. The proposal would essentially give The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire....
 the green light and even US assistance to invade more of northern Syria and crush Syrian Kurdish groups there, without obligating them to go beyond Kurdish-held areas to fight the Islamic State
