NYT: Syrian Kurds do not want to fight with the IG




Sources said that Arab and American forces were forced to stop operations to clean up Syrian territories from militants and took defensive positions, which could enable militants to flee to other countries.

Victory campaign over the IG is under threat
- NYT cites the words of a senior intelligence officer at the Institute for the Study of the War in Washington, Jennifer Cafarella.

Recall that from January 20 Turkey is conducting an operation “Olive branch” against Kurdish armed formations in Afrin. Last week it became known that the Syrian pro-government troops were also going to enter the city, but retreated after the shelling from Turkey. NYT notes that Kurds are now rushing to protect Afrin, reports Kommersant

    If you give it, either Turkey stops bombing the Kurds, or the Kurds stop fighting the terrorists.

      ... The New York Times, citing the US military, "thousands of Kurdish fighters and commanders" from the "Syrian Democratic Forces" (SDF) are increasingly refusing to fight terrorists ...

      The US military is setting the stage for itself to change its shoes once again - why should the Kurds fight with themselves. All ISIS slander, have long been grouped together and entered the staff of the "Kurdish units" ...

          This mattress-Kurdish circus with a balancing act, has reached the degree of insanity.

            Note - it is common for mattresses to bring a lot to this extent. The bad news is that everyone knows and understands this, but most prefer silently to agree with this theater of the absurd.

              This is their corporate identity, borrowed from the Nazis. To bring everything to the point of absurdity, to isolate oneself so that the surrounding people’s brain floats and the reality of what is happening is considered from the right angle.

              Not everyone can withstand the sanctions, and most of the few who can are simply afraid of the reaction of their own “couch troops” to the deterioration of living standards due to sanctions.

                There is one. Many have put mattresses on kukan and hold tight. This is what they use in pushing their line.

    Of course, they do not want to fight that the Kurds are that the IG is the feeding of the USA.

    It is understandable. Their mission is to squeeze Syrian oil fields for our Middle Eastern partners

    It is necessary to somehow justify their failures in Syria. In general, since they refuse to dance to the American tune, then this is normal - who’s hunting for a coffin for the sake of the interests of overseas uncles

    what can enable militants escape to other countries
    So far, Americans have been seen in evacuation, including helicopters of militant leaders with their entourage. And evacuated to territories controlled by the United States, and information was also repeatedly passed on the transfer of bandits to Afghanistan. Again the distraction of the "false object."

    Well, yes, the Kurds obviously will not pull on two fronts ...
    It’s like in the famous phrase: “You guys are interesting, first declare us as the IS terrorists, and then you ask the IG yourself to deal with this.”

    it didn’t even reach the very smart Kurds that while they are fighting the interests of the USA in the interests of the USA, the USA’s NATO ally Turkey destroys their fellow tribesmen ...

    Fighting with oneself is one of the forms of schizophrenia, and although they are scumbags, they are not a schiz.

    Everything is fine, now ISIS is regrouping, the Americans will deliver replenishment and ammunition and forward to Assad. Moreover, they will replace the black banner with white and how peaceful protesters will cut off their heads, and the Americans will confirm that this is an outraged opposition

    If the Kurds are in solidarity with the IG, then they are accomplices of the IG, and therefore must be destroyed. Who will talk to them, and why ????
