I'm sitting here in the bar, and I'm listening to different groups of people on both my left and right talking about NATO and whether we're going to war with Syria. Personally speaking, I didn't think that the Tomahawk launch was that big a deal, but it's clear that throughout the general population this happening is very a big deal in the mind of the general population. The present atmosphere vague reminds me of shortly after 9/11.
However I'll be honest: I'm not necessarily opposed to action against the Assad government. My concern is solely with what benefits Rojava, and what the KCK's position is on the subject generally. As such, I'm rather annoyed that I can no doubt expect in the relatively near future to have to put up with immense sentiment from pseudo-leftists here, who cry out "Hands of Syria!", yet at the same time demonstrably don't give a shit what the actual revolutionary forces in the region think of the present events.
Until a spokesperson says anything it doesn't really matter now does it?
Jose Adams
I think it is a boon for Rojava, at least in the long run. Assad probably would have come after them eventually. This buys them some time.

Hands off Syria you stupid motherfucker.
Mason Cooper
Yeah, no. Looks like daddy PissPig got out just in time, the cunt
Joseph Ward
Tbh there is no easy way out for Rojava. The best they can hope for I think is to strike a deal with Assad and hope he honours it. The fighting will have to end eventually, and the Kurds will either have to become strong enough to fend off whoever wins in Syria AND the Turks, or rely on somebody else for support. I seriously doubt they will become strong enough to fight both enemies on their own, so their only option would be to make one of them not their enemy.
There's no guarantee that Trump is going to war with Syria or that he would make a deal with Erdogan to do so.
If Assad is ousted and replaced with a US puppet Rojava could be in a better position.
Parker Carter
please tell me of any time post 1945 where US puppets didn't immediatly start killing socialists.
Lucas Howard
The US recently restored relations with Cuba. They have been backing Rojava up to this point. It ain't the Cold War any more the US will tolerate socialists up to a certain point. To the US Rojava is seen more as a useful chess piece than a threat.

they aren't revolutionary, revolutionaries want freedom for the whole species. The end of psychopathic capital and technological slavery.
Have these people in Iraqi, Syrian Kurdistan said anything about freeing their brothers and sisters in Pakistan, in Iran, in Israel, in Ethiopia, in Egypt, in Saudi Arabia, in Turkey, in Europe, in America, in Asia, in the Global South? No, of course not, because they're ethnonationalist state socialists. They could give a fuck about freedom, its a pragmatic, opportunistic power grab and classic muh nation idpol.
Any self respecting leftist, especially an anarchist and especially and individualist anarchist would never support gangster dipshits like the Kurds or any other comical democratic, syndicalist or state socialist attempt at carving out a little bunker state to establish "good enough" utopia, which will turn out like Argentina or Catalonia or worse.
The last thing that matters is the nonsense going on with the Kurds. We are now facing a very serious threat to human existence. The Zionist, Right wing deep state have now declared war on the Asiatic elite and we may see North Korea and Syria being attacked by Western powers over the next 4 years or longer. This is perpetual war, endless special powers for the Executive branch, endless new security measures. You understand what will happen if Syria fully destabilizes, how demonized America and the West will be? We'll all be in danger, not just from lunatic radicalized psyopped Muslims, but also from the State and from China-Russia trying to turn us against each other so they can defeat our Deep state. We're going to be dealing with constant information warfare from the Liberals, from the Right wing, from the psuedo leftist progressives, from Russia and Chinese interests. Everything is going faster, we are absolutely accelerating, even if its directly off a cliff. There is no turning back, Rojava is meaningless

cuba isn't a us puppet state and rojava isn't either unless you are one of those autisitc tankies who seem to think that assad is a revolutionary anti imperialist hero. after the current unpleasantness the US will go back to supporting turkey against the kurds and a puppet regime in damascus will happily help them
Ryan Murphy
Let's not get ahead of ourselves. This shit is just getting started.
Jordan Gonzalez
Actually they've said repeatedly that DemCon is a project for the whole middle east. Mind you, I say for the middle east not in the sense that they won't support movements beyond that, but in the sense that DemCon is taken specific to the issues of the middle east. Not all communalist projects will take the form of DemCon. Also, ebin DFSNS immediate goals at the moment is the implementation of DemCon throughout syria. The idea that it's an entirely kurdish project occupied only with kurdistan is based on the ignorant and misinformed assumptions of the movements detractors.
Juan Jackson
funny how tanks will screech about Rojava being an ethno-state in one sentence and tongue bath North Korea in the next.
Jackson Cruz
This reminds me of the Trots in 2003 which advocated for the Iraq War and the overthrow of Saddam Hussein (both in their so-called Communist parties as well as the "ex" Trots like Wolfowitz in the Bush White House).
Gabriel Campbell
Kurdish seperatists recieve weapons and support from the U.S and Israel as a means for the Balkanization of the middle east and destruction of Pan-Arab Nationalism. I'd imagine when the Kurds are finally granted their own state, it will devolve into another client state of the U.S.
