Who cares. Chomsky is yesterday’s yesterday’s news.
John Diaz
He wants American troops/whatever there to deter the imminent t*rkish attack on Rojava
Zig Forums may call that SUPPORTING IMPERIALISM but its not quite so clear-cut
Blake Reyes
At least try.
It is that clear cut, or at least Zig Forums's response is. Many western MLs, in particular the twitter tankies, would welcome the slaughter of Kurds and occupation of Syria by t*rkey so long as the burger flag not be flown. It's not them getting killed so they can roleplay as geopolitical experts from their twitter accounts while middle eastern MLs, who are with the YPG, get pumped full of bullets.

You know, just because it's le ebul Putin and Assad now that are calling the shots in Syria doesn't necessarily mean that Ro.java has to perish. They can easily manoeuvre themselves in a position where breaking a deal with them is more profitable for the Syrian government than engaging themselves into another "civil" war, especially with the t*rkish aggression against legitimate Syrian cities being a chance to support each other. Let bygones be bygones, aren't the Kurds famous for the realpolitik, as anarchists always claim they are?
Christian Baker
the realpolitik here is that t*rkey will not accept a Kurdish state on its borders, and Assad prefers to retain control over whole of the pre-rebellion Syria. As I see it there is no real conflict of interest between the two, and Assad will happily let t*rkey do its 'punitive' maneuvres even if they violate Syrian sovereignty.
Dominic Walker
The Kurds have no leverage at all with which to bargain without the Americans. As says, the t*rks will be doing Assad a favor.
Henry Flores
That's bullshit, if anything the presence of the Americans would have incentivised Assad and Putin to push further north after ISIS, Al Nusra and FSA and friends are defeated. Now that the Kurds can emerge as a neutral force that is willing to integrate itself the Syrian state in some federal, the situation is much better and sustainable for them. The bargaining chip that they still have is that they can offer resistence, and another costly insurgence is something Syria can not afford considering the Russians have short-term plans to leave Syria as well.
And wtf, "Erdogan is doing Assad a favour" did you get that from an opinion piece of the New York Times? Kurdish and Syrian interests literally align now, considering Rojava has not expressed explicit wishes to secede from Syria. Stop sucking burger dick you Chomsky worshipping boomers
