i know i’ll just get irony-poisoned meme replies but i honestly want to know.
I think it should be noted, the Kurds were divided into a lot of factions and almost all those factions were playing different sides of the conflict. For example the YPG took almost as much aid from Russia as they did the US, Russia had their own airbase in Rojava. The PKK has hostile relations with Turkey which means the US won’t work with them, but they and the YPG cooperate, and Assad hates Turkey so he probably kinda likes the PKK. Syria is a cluster fuck and I don’t really think even the smartest western leftist can get a good read on it.
Exactly, There is no “thing good” or “thing bad” for most of this stuff. If you are helping the US by helping the YPG then you are by that measure helping Russia, and if this is transitive then you are thus helping Assad. We should be hesitant on applying a transitive property to combat zones
