      Ironically enough American troops are there and if that stops Turkish troops it’s stopping even worse imperialism. I say this as a Turkish person

      Turkey literally invaded Rojava the second Trump agreed to pull the troops out (out of North Syria, obv. didn't bring them home, he isn't that stupid). Turkey is a quasi fascist dictatorship and has been fighting the Kurdish movement, especially the PKK, for a long time now.

      Letting the achievements of the social revolution in Rojava go to waste because "anti-imperialism" makes you more of a leftcom than you probably think you are.

          The US had a lend-lease program for the USSR in WW2

          Are the Soviets also #cancelled now?

            lend lease is far different than occupying territory lol that’s definitely a poor comparison. US isnt just giving them arms and saying have fun. they are injecting leverage to remove the good parts of the project as well. its not no strings attatched arrangement

        Collaborating with the greatest imperial power on earth in support of destabilizing the Syrian state into a civil war then being tossed aside to the turkish wolves the moment they stop being useful simply illustrates the end result of what happens to minor powers that support American Imperialism in the classic colonialist strategy of dividing and conquering regions to be exploited.

        While I do uphold critical support for their cause and wish them the best as they are forced to rebuild ties with the Syrian state, you won't find me bemoaning the fate they chose for themselves.

          I can't help but think that expecting the kurds to choose instant death instead of not instant death with the chance of whatever happens because than they will at least be muh antiimperialist martyrs is not the most dialectical take here.

            The fuck you speaking about, there was a choice to be had in forming a united front with the Syrian state against the encroaching imperial tiger and their "moderate rebel" dogs that would've allowed them to negotiate from a better diplomatic position than they have now where they've been forced to beg for assistance from the turkish invaders.

            This is a clear demonstration to all around the world that yet again choosing to side with colonial invaders will result in you being used as another tool in the shed only to be tossed out at the earliest convenience.

              Maybe after being shat on by the majority as a people makes said people wary of the majority.

              Also lol at the thought that Assad wouldn't throw them to the dogs at the first given moment just so Turkey leaves them alone.
