A truly interesting perspective. I know there are some Kurds who are c*******t in their views, but not all I think. And despite all of it, they DID act as our boots on the ground under our Air force in the fight against the Caliph**e.
So did the PMU, so did the Palestinians in Yarmouk refuge camp Damascus, so did the Syrian Arab Army, so did FSA, so did al- Qaeda, so did Hezbollah all acted as boots on the ground while US Air was engaging IS.
Russian Air was bombing IS oil convoys going to Turkey when Obama was just bombing Syrian infrastructure saying on more than one occasion - "you know it will take at least 30 years to defeat IS " - Obama was obviously thinking let IS smash Assad then worry about it.
However while Obama was saying that, others were saying let IS smash al-Zawahiri the boss of al-Qaeda and then worry about it.
Al-Zawahiri is still around, somewhere, maybe we think, maybe not, possibly he's wised up and retired but Assad hasn't opted for the quiet life.
I agree Kurds are not all C*******t, I don't think the ideology of the Kurds is the problem on a personal level, but its the same situation as in Southern Yemen where the secessionist movement was C****e built, in Afghanistan the same thing applied, or was similar, until rubbed out by Taliban, Nasser in Egypt was similar gone completely, good or bad is no longer relevant.
Does it fit in with what has taken it's place is what's pertinent.
South Yemen and Kurdistan secessionist movements are the only remnants of that era.
There is a very big tangible part of Kurdish history tied up with Abdullah Ocalan the PKK leader, as long as he represents the Kurdistan Movement all Kurds will think his ideology is paramount, to think otherwise is to come up with a replacement which has a broad acceptance.
Islam could the job but Ocalan's Career was founded on anti-Religion and Religion is not acceptable to Kurdish secular benefactors also for Religion to be used as a tool there needs to be a Religious enemy and the Kurds are best friends with Z*****ts, MbS tired to be friends with the Z*****ts but I think he has failed.
Ocalan belongs to a ideological currents that have stopped flowing in the Middle East the Baathists were all secular now all that has changed, if Kurds move now they will be slaughtered like Saddam's followers were.
It would be difficult to believe if Kurdistan came about as it nearly did in the Iraqi referendum 2017 that Ocalan wouldn't be seen as its founder and de facto leader.
No Kurds anywhere label Ocalan as a criminal amongst their followers, in the Iraqi Parliament they do disingenuously.
Syrian YPG and SDF always posed with his propaganda, and his ideology is joined at the hip with Cultural Left Soros Politics, I suspect funded at highest level by G*******t Plutocrats Facebook and Google proprietors and alt-right elements come crypto freaks.
