I’m pretty confused due to all of the players over in Syria. I found the following article that was helpful to me. I thought that the Kurds had been fighting Syria. But I was wrong. It seems that Syria had it’s hands full fighting ISIS, and the Kurds were also fighting ISIS without Syria’s help. And the Kurds took control of ISIS territory (in Syria).

But now, with the Kurds needing help, they have agreed to help from Syria, and I presume that they will lose their dream of having their own Kurdish territory.

Lots of the Kurds that we helped are not just muslem, but Communists as well. I was reading another article that Hezbellah has sent troops and arms to the Syrian army awhile ago.

It is a mess over there. Our goals at the time were to get rid of ISIS. So we offered help to the Kurds that were doing that. Reminds of when we helped Osama bin laden’s crowd against the Russians.

You grasp what is going on. People keep insisting the Kurds were storming Raqqa screaming “America Akbar.” They were not. “Allah Akbar” was being screamed. You are 100% correct also about most of them being Maoist commies. Some may have been screaming “Bernie Akbar.” Believe it or not but there were actually Antifa morons that went to fight with the Kurds because in their words, “The Kurds get it and are comrades.”
