Maybe I’m just ignorant and/or snorting copium but isn’t it better for them to have consolidated their forces / be less overextended? At least in the short-term to medium-term? Besides, isn’t the northeastern area they still control the part of Syria that’s majority Kurdish (aka their “heartland” where they enjoy the most popular support")?
If we were discussing this from a purely military perspective, sure, but neither side particularly wants a proper shooting war, Syria having just emerged from one of those. The most likely result, both before and after this, is some form of negotiated integration - and now Rojava’s bargaining position is greatly reduced, and the previous compromise agreement is unlikely to be offered again.
