    Putin didn’t destroy ISIS in Syria

    Correct

    That was a success of a broad coalition

    Partly correct. ISIS has not yet been completely destroyed in Syria, but it has been strategically defeated. And yes, this was not achieved by Russia alone.

    and the main force were the people living there on the ground

    The main force were the Syrian people and their government.

    often organized by Peschmerga / YPJ / YPG / etc.

    False. The main actors leading the resistance to ISIS in Syria are the Syrian government of Bashar al-Asaad as well as its allies in the region. The coalition that defeated ISIS was primarily formed of the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) aided by Russia, and Iranian backed and organized militias led by general Soleimani whom the US murdered for his role in defeating ISIS and spoiling their plan for Syria.

    would be good to strengthen our comrades in Rojava

    “Rojava” unfortunately has acted in a very duplicitous manner. They have defended their own territory, yes, but at the same time they have been consistently playing the role of a proxy of the US to keep Syria destabilized and prevent the Syrian government from re-establishing control of its sovereign territory.

    In doing this they have sided with ISIS, which is a proxy of the US and the Zionist entity and which time and time again proves that it is working toward the same regional goals as the US imperialists and the neocolony.

      Assad did deliver weapons to the de-facto government of Rojava and thus the YPG. Is Assad an US proxy against himself?

      This shows well the front line that was relevant. The conflict against ISIL was only part of the civil war, for years, so a long time, Assad and allies did focus on controlling parts in the West and doing operations against rebel forces, including some parts of Islamist forces. The operations in the east were at a latter point. However I do understand that your read of the situation is basically the Hisbollah position. Not a lot to discuss between us.
