    What’s up with Rojava? I hear they are supposedly left wing, are they supported by the west somehow?

      they are left wing led and have progressive education/aims, but the society is deeply conservative.

      Also, they are stuck between turkey who wants to kill them and put jihadists instead, syria who wants to establish their control again (likely sidelining many reforms due to conservatism and causing unrest among rebel groups on AANES), and USA who no longer has a use for them except as a proxy to keep turkey and syria out of that lands.

      They tried to play for US backing, that backing kinda weakened a lot, so they are playing between Syria and USA for now.

      Best solution would be to rejoin Syria and for Syria to reinforce support for educational/cultural diversity, which is also tricky since Syria would prefer to keep higher control and promote unity.

      USA/Turkish puppets basically, war would be over sooner if it wasn’t for them.

            theres rebels and rebels. when did you start following the syrian conflict?

            al-tanf rebels and AANES rebels are US puppets.

            North+Idlib rebels are turkish puppets.

                me too, but I caughht up to each side differences and history back then, I guess.

                Some rebels hate each other. Turkey uses some against the ones in AANES/NE syria
