Rоjava General: Battle of Afrin edition

It's how youtube-dl saved it from twitter

The fuck kind of “arguments” are those?

Weakening the US Empire is a good thing, but it’s pretty pointless if it just means strengthening the Russian Empire, which Assad’s victory would do. Furthermore, I don’t think there is any question as to who is more progressive between Assad or the Kurds when it comes to domestic policy. The Kurds are promoting direct democracy and worker ownership of the MoP and have effectively created a dictatorship of the proletariat. The only question then is their ability to carry out their revolution, and the extent to which this is inhibited by the US. Especially since Afrin, I would say it’s clear that their relationship with the US was one of convenience and survival, meaning that they are using the Americans to further the revolution just as much as the Americans are trying to use them. Thus the Kurds can still serve as an anti imperialist force, and the fastest way for this to happen would be for Assad to recognize them in exchange for expelling American forces.

This is basically just saying “but dude what if they turn capitalist later lmao”. This applies to everybody all the time, you might as well say that we shouldn’t support the Bolsheviks in 1917 because they might turn revisionist later.

Honestly there is a lot to criticize R*java for, but so many people seem incapable of offering an honest critique and instead resort to laughable hyperbole about imperialist mercenaries sent by AmeriKKKa to ethnically cleanse all the Arab babies by feeding them to ISIS cannibals who will eat them with US provided dentures.

it is if youre a retarded western leftist that just waits for the revolution to magically happen, yes.

ok.

you have some loose conspet of a revolution. i guess the USSR was spreading revolution too after ww2 right

how exactly
sure, making big deals like this on no guarantees seems easy in your fucking middle class bedroom thousands of kilometers away from where its happening with no responsibility

yet is applicable at various degrees to various cases. and in this case its pretty obvious. a need for a kurdish state is not a result of the revolution, the revolution is the result of the need for a kurdish state

1) the stakes were much higher and favorable in that case
2) they did according to you(r flag)

its seems this way because you have so much cognitive bias that you either intentionally missunderstand or ignore the fucking point

...

because the middle east is much more important than southeast asia. the US stands on the petrodollar

As the other user mentioned, Turkish elites aren't exactly enemies of the United States, they're also hostile to Syria (and Iran). The only goal Turkey has in common with Iran is "Kurds are shit"

how is this adressing my post in any way

Turkey:

America:

I hope that was coherent as it certainly isnt for me or anyone else paying attention to this war but basically the lots of contradictions of foreign policy in Syria are not there but seem to be as the sides are dragging it out and trying to maximize on anything. Also remember this is not set in stone especially considering I dont even feel like it is now.

Aftermath of an ATGM direct hit on a German-made Leopard 2 in Afrin this morning. Several strikes killed over 8 t*rks and and unknown number of TFSA members in counter attacks.
