    It's just dumb because for one, like you mention what else were the Kurds supposed to do? Just let ISIS kill and rape them all? And secondly, US support for Rojava has always been really half-hearted, the US has never really given very much political backing to the Autonomous Administration (the government of Rojava), they just give them military aid and a bare minimum of humanitarian aid, that's it. The US also did nothing when Turkey invaded Afrin, and the US withdrew troops in order to allow Turkey to invade Tel Abyad and Serakiniye. I think if Rojava was really an American puppet they would be getting a lot more political support than what they are currently getting.

      Ally with Assad and the SAA in 2017 at a time of peak leverage to prevent an inevitable and obvious Turkish/NATO offensive into Northern Syria, accepting US support in 2014-2015 is justifiable, remaining a US client in 2017, 2018, and 2019 was beyond short-sighted and it cost them leverage with Assad and most of the heavily populated northern border

          I don't see any racism towards Kurds here. Can we not do this shitty kind of argument? Not supporting Rojava isn't racist.
