If Turkey wants to take annex northern Syria, which it could easily do at the moment, is Russia going to be okay with that? How about with a rushed referendum?
What kind of population lives in Northern Syria, may I ask?
Are they mostly Turks?

I believe so. It's one of those cases of lines moving over people and I believe the French are the ones responsible in this case. Syria should surrender sovreignity or at least give them a very high degree of autonomy. Syria is in ways a lot like Ukraine. For Turkey it's just a land grab, they couldn't care less about the people there. Most of the fighters there are indiginous people or from southern Turkey from what I understand.
Syria has only to gain by accepting a peace. The problem is the meddling of other powers via Lebanon and Turkey. Kurds live further east and they don't like the Turks there.
....the bridge that, according to some, was "never was going to be built"...."no serious, capable engineering company is going to put a bolt on it", it is all propaganda and, if they really going to attempt to built it, it will end up in a disaster.......remember those statements?? LOL
No, straw man much? This bridge should have been built years ago. Finally it will happen. Its a better use of money than building stadiums for a disgraced Olympics.
Russia's leading environmental activist is one of more than a million people - many of them young and well-educated - who have packed their bags and left the country in recent years, writes the BBC's Lucy Ash. Russian even has a word for the phenomenon, "poravalism".

Ahh... Bwa-ha-ha...Him.
They chose Grudinin after all, lol.
( Yeah, today was the 23rd over there, the CPSU (RF) congre... well not congress, but their meeting where they were supposed to name a presidential candidate.)
Well I'm glad that I kept my eye on the "left" forces over there, so by now I have pretty good idea of Grudinin and what to expect from him, even listening to this older ( from November) video -
Really? There are tons of Russians in a few American cities. Philadelphia and New York come to mind.
Sure, in my city too but the "wave" was from the 1990s....
