I would not be surprised if this was all faked and not filmed in Kurdish territory at all, or if Kurdish YPG had nothing to do with this.

Please look at these tweets from 2017. Not faked. I am not sure why some Americans think the Kurds are the good guys. Look at what they did to the Christians in Qamishli.
Point taken. Syria Girl gives good reporting.
I was thinking more along the lines of “Helter Skelter”..
No actual video of training, just some guy lecturing us on what he believed is happening
Yep. On a side note, I'm beginning to think that 1,000rds per weapon in my home isn't near enough...
Top. Kek.
I agree, that Antifa would start the violence.
(They've already started it, short of firearms in most cases.)
...but once it does openly go to firearms, they will lose, no matter how many corrupt Mayors and Governors are protecting them. In fact, they will face the same problem that the US forces under 0moeba the Wunder Muslim, faced in the Middle East. They'd be safe in their own controlled areas, and sitting ducks the moment they ventured outside of them.
If that happens, Trump will declare Martial Law, suspend the Constitution, and arrest and imprison/execute pretty much any and every elected Dem in the US.
Nice try.
I didn't know that asking questions from concern about the president's safety during million man march where similar protests have acted as a shield for rioters who have killed people means that, "I don't live in the real world."
Nice and clear rebuke there. Do you live in the real world?
I watched the video. Honestly, it looked like every personal defense class I ever saw at our gym. Mostly these were for women who worked in our urban area.
I am still waiting for the DOJ to show evidence it says it has. I am waiting for Federal arrests. I am waiting for a single arrest for giving aid to a terrorist organization.
I know, you all will tell mr Fitton is suing them. But he is not the government. If ANTIFA is this huge threat we would know a lot about them. You cannot tell me the FBI is just ramping up it’s surveillance.
There is a lot about this that just doesn’t ring true.
I thought we liked the Kurds?
Most modern city dwellers would have no idea of even how to find a supply of potable water. Most people never think about it because it comes out of the tap. Just like electricity comes out of the socket in the wall. They think that’s the source. Cut off water to a big city for a week and 99% of the population would be dead.
*** I thought we liked the Kurds? ***
Because our Gov’t PR campaign for Rojava worked? Because it is in the US economic interest to cut up Iraq and Syria?
There is a saying, re: the Kurds, “No friends but the mountains”.
As I type, the Kurds in Syria are blocking grain shipments to Syrians who are loyal to the legitimate gov’t. This, after thousands of hectares of wheat have systematically been destroyed through machinations by the US.
They are the paid lackeys of the US stealing Syria’s oil, looting, and driving Yazidis, and Christians from their homes. They are, despite protestations, to the contrary, the YPG/PKK Communists.
So, no, I am not part of the “we” who likes the Kurds, despite the Kurd flag wavers on FR. In fact I view them with about as much favor as I do the Aztlan or Black Separatist movements in the US.
Agreed! Well, the people in PV’s video aren’t those guys.

My impression is that a significant fraction of left-wing groups with a focus on direct action tends to be fairly well-organized and staffed by elite individuals, some of whom have gone on to become professors at top-ranked universities.

That’s why left-wing groups are difficult to penetrate - how does the typical blue collar undercover cop fake a knowledge of Derrida or Hegel? The jargon is BS, but it requires real mental horsepower. And that’s leaving aside the ideological biases that have left the FBI riddled with left-wingers, from a hiring standpoint, with the attitude that they have no enemies to the left.
Whereas the typical right-wing direct action organization is riddled with people who can’t even spell. These are not particularly difficult to penetrate, as the members aren’t exactly rocket scientists.
They may wait until he’s out. The next President will do that with the intent of eliminating the Tenth Amendment and the Electoral College.
That must be why we spent hundreds of millions helping the Turks wipe them out in eastern Turkey and northern Iraq during the Obama admin. I was there.
*** The gist is that, in sockmonkey’s view, any party that opposes Russia’s territorial ambitions and support for its pet dictatorships (Iran, Syria, Venezuela, et al) is bad. ***
Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. Sometimes someone is just a conservative who opposes regime change wars by our government.
