they're heroes. what about the majority of the SDF which has not fought against the SAA since their foundation and now works with the Syrian government in the vast majority of territories they hold? The US is squatting in the corner of the country on some oil fields, you're acting like all of NES is the fucking Green Zone

I deleted it because I realised it was the same person I was responding to twice. I don't remember exactly what I wrote - might have called you a dumbass or something? Which I would stand by, and is not ableist at all, unless you're suggesting that only disabled people have low intellect?

What is "my narrative"? that it sucks when decent organisations with strong links to legitimately revolutionary orgs such as the PKK get co-opted and end up serving the interests of the American empire as a result of having to fight against US-backed ISIS and other western-backed Jihadists? what should the YPG have done differently, in your eyes, that would exonerate them for the crime of having to defend their homes from Jihadist barbarism because the legitimate government of Syria totally withdrew from the region when the war kicked off?

Are you even aware of that - the fact that the SAA totally pulled out of NE Syria in the early part of the war, leaving the locals to fend for themselves against US-backed Jihadism? What course of action should they have taken that would have preserved their lives and their homes while not also creating opportunity for the US empire to insert itself and then refuse to leave? Should they have been putting out principled statements against both ISIS and the US while they were beseiged in Kobani?

or call me more ableist slurs

?????? is "campist" ableist or something???

Kurdish and many other communists in Syria bled and died to stop US-backed ISIS under the flag of Rojava and here you are celebrating the co-option and demise of their project, fuck you. Your logic is the exact same as somebody who would celebrate the collapse of the USSR because they backed zionism throughout their history. You reveal yourself as nothing but a shameless, useless campist.

wtf does abbott actually want to achieve here, surely this is pre-election showboating and not a genuine attempt to split texas from the union?

Jordan bombing Syria is not unusual, they're going after drug smugglers who cross the border with the blessing of the Syrian government.
