        This is a very important topic and it is essential that those in the US and others pay attention to aiding eastern Syria and not walking away. It is a topic close to my heart and part of my upcoming book 'After ISIS'https://www.amazon.com/After-Isis-America-Struggle-Middle/dp/9657023092 …

        In the direct and disciplined voice of Gen. Mazloum Abdi, the commander of the Syrian Kurdish militia, you can hear the determination that has made the Kurds a great partner for the United States and one of the extraordinary survival stories of the Middle East. #YPG #YPJ #Afrin

        Yes thank you for watching. So does the rest of the world. And nobody, read nobody, is even slightly convinced that SDF are terrorist. Besides Turkey, but heck, everybody knows they support ISIS and Al-Qaida. So don't come here and pretend you are something important.

        Not it covers intellectuals, movie directors, activists, politicians, academics and so on. And nobody in West considers SDF as terrorists. I know it hurts that nobody takes Turkey seriously in this matter. But nobody believes in the Turkish narrative of "the bad Kurds".

        Replying to @Zonaepellucida @Bora_Bingol and

        there is no bad kurd narrative. it's purely made up. we also refer to PKK/YPG/SDF by name, never lump them in with kurds. but every western paper says we are "attacking the kurds" instead of attacking "pkk militants". this is how ur lied to. the Kurds are our Brothers & Sisters.

        All of Daesh members were allowed to freely go to the other places under the surveillance of YPG militants. BBC documented the scenes obviously showing this situation

        The US has done very huge mistakes by collaborating these guys in the name of "fighting" Daesh. However, both of them are the same, their denominator is the same. We have all witnessed their togetherness behind the screen after the Raqqa operation.
