In light of recent events, the demcon project Rojava will be tested. What will they do now? Will AANES seek independence?

Trump has said the US shouldn't be involved in Syria, will he recall the remaining few thousand US troops from Syria? Or will the neocons convince Trump he can engage in "good" nation-building and create Kurdistan from AANES and northern Iraq? Would SDF go for such a plan since their stated goal is not a Kurdish state, but a multicultural state organised along the lines of democratic confederalism?

    Rojava is literally supported, armed, and trained by a NATO country (USA).

    Because no one else would help them. If your options were ethnic cleansing of your own people and help from the US, which one would you choose?

    Take Rojava out of the ideal, kumbaya world and situate it in time and history where it is now. Tell me what other option did they have?

    they actually want an ethnostate.

    No, they actually don't. Repeating this only betrays your ignorance of the topic to anyone with a modicum of knowledge on DAANES.

    They played a much larger role in their own demise than anyone else did.

    What demise? They're still there.

    They literally only have themselves to blame for what’s about to come next.

    Can you at least try to be less gleeful about the murder of hundreds of thousands of people? Tens of thousands have already been internally displaced, fleeing from Idlib, Manbij and other cities under attack by SNA/Turkey.

    But keep cheering Turkey on, whose stated mission is to eradicate the PKK (Worker's Party of Kurdistan) and SDF. You want Turkey and its islamist militias to wipe out a socialist project because 1) it doesn't affect you, 2) so you can smugly write "I told you so*.

      Literally only crackers defend rojava. Not a single Arab, Assyrian, Chaldean, or otherwise supports those psychopaths. Because we all know that they're full of shit and want their own ethnostate.

      Forgive me if I don't care about racist terrorists who are literally tearing my home piece by piece. They wanted assad gone for so long, well now they have it. I'm only shedding tears for the Arabs that didn't want religious zealotry overtaking their secular state.

      I'm going to be gleeful that terrorists are reaping what they're sowing.
