      I don’t really feel like enaging newsbot9000 over here in the entire checkered record of the YPG, but it actually extends far beyond allying with US war criminals and utilizing their assets, triangulating with Zionists, and letting the US (illegally) harvest Syrian oil. That’s just the cliff notes. But it’s a lot closer to reality than your synopsis

      It’s 2024 and you’re cheering on US backed “moderate rebels” which are as much of a plague on the Syrian population as Turkey and ISIS. Grow up. The OPCW melted down over the inability to prove that Assad gassed his own civilians just because he hates them so much (a likely story). The symptoms in the footage don’t even match sarin, the mouth foaming is more characteristic of chlorine. The smear mirrors numerous other US attempts to fabricate cassus belli against a peripheral country in West Asia or Africa.

      Your sweet little based Kurdish militias’ permission won’t factor into the removal of US bases from that territory. That is currently being conducted by the Axis of Resistance.

      To return to the remarkably simply question which preceded your gibbering recitation of the Washington-approved narrative, I define illegal as in flagrant violation of international law, not what is legal in the minds of Redditors who like to fantasize about going and LARPing as a war criminal before getting interviewed by Rolling Stone.

        Okay let me just say a Middle Eastern guy: This comment is an insult to the hundreds of thousands of Syrians who had to flee their homes to escape Assad’s tyranny and you should feel bad for making it.

      these US assets are present at the express request of the Kurdish militia, which is formed by the people who actually live there who got sick and tired of the oppression of the religious fundamentalist regime

      So like the Russian military units that are present at the express request of the Donetsk and Lugansk militias, which is formed by the people who actually live there [and] who got sick and tired of the oppression of the Ukrainian state?
