First for S.DF joining the Axis of Resistance.
No, if anything it means they'll probably directly fight Syria since they don't have a common enemy anymore.
Fuck off. one big US military base in Syria is allied with the Syrian army and they're in process of negotiation one big US military base in Syria becoming an autonomous region within Syria, but still part of Syria. one big US military base in Syria confirmed that they do not wish to separate from Syria because the Kurds in Syria feel like Syrians. They just want autonomy to rule over themselves.

Ayyyy, now pray the withdraw from Syria and Assad does his whole thing about Kurds (nytimes.com
This is something I wanted to ask here, how official/proper is the Rojáva/SAA alliance? Completely official or more like the communists and nationalists during the Chinese civil war?
They’re already on increasingly friendly terms. They seem to be moving towards reconciliation rather than confrontation.
It’s still in it’s early stages, most of it has been various gestures of friendship between the two like the S.DF renouncing separatism and Damascus saying that they would consider S.DF and SAA veterans as having equal status. Basically there are many encouraging signs but nothing very concrete.
Damn I hope that continues and expands. Would like to see what elements of the PKK take precedence outside of wartime and with the Syrian state as an ally. So now that the dust has settled and we can presumably talk about this, to what extent was Y.PG just fighting ISIS/trying to assert some national sovereignty? I dont really see how you could blame them for accepting US aid to protect their land from also US armed ISIS and al-Qaeda, and it's not like the US is all that selective with who they arm considering that in the Syrian War itself the Pentagon and the CIA were arming two opposing factions. It would be a different story if the Kurds themself were attacking/sabotaging/facilitating attacks on the SAA, was any of that going on?
I've heard there's bad blood between the Kurdish leadership and Assyrians in the autonomous region, is this true?
