And I'm the rude one? Of course I'm talking to humans, do you see me personally insulting the person I replied to? No. Yet you go for that with that dig. Offer an actual objection to the substance of what I'm saying instead of trying to play tone policing games, we're talking global geo-politics here not some intimate and sensitive personal matter.
Fact is Rojava have been to my knowledge in matter of deed an aid not a hindrance to the global primary contradiction, to the US empire and must be analyzed in light of that. Not what they want to do, not what they claim they will do but what they have done materially.
They're too small to matter, the US can brush them aside if they ever cause trouble or cease to be useful and their situation I think given all the rest that's happening is not great. They're not China where they're such a size that the US helping them gain strength can result in an entity that is capable of then resisting them and bringing about damage to them or even threatening their entire order. They are quite honestly not a power even regionally outside the territories they operate in and IMO never will be.
Maybe I shouldn't blame them, I'm not some expert on the situation there but I can say I don't think they should be praised given what they've done. Maybe they felt they had to make some deals with the devil but I don't think they deserve being lionized given what those deals entailed and how they worked out with regards to the larger strategic landscape and the power balance that impacts the lives of tens of millions of humans in the region beyond the borders of Syria.
The situation in Syria seems complex. I never thought Assad was a great leader but the alternatives continue to be worse and we must remember this whole situation including the misery of the Syrian people started because of the US trying to do regime-change and toppling to do engineering of the middle east for their grand chessboard strategy to retain their global hegemony by preventing land power unity between Africa, Russia, Europe, Asia via sabotaging the cross-roads. In light of that working with the people responsible for all of this because they promise you maybe they'll help give you power or a piece of the pie isn't a great look. Sure if it had worked and they'd won instead of the jihadists the conversation might be different but I'm not sure they were ever desired to win as the US prefers corrupt puppets or destablized regions via extremist proxies.
