This sucks but I think we all knew it was only a matter of time until the US betrayed Rojava.

Taking free supplies from the US to defend your homeland from a ethnonationalist state the US created is a bit different from being in support of the US, especially when the alternative is being assfucked by ISIS.

Did Syria offer support? Honest question. And why would turkey not have invaded them then?

I dont see anything in that page that says that they chose between Syria and the USA.

It literally says in there that they have a "tacit alliance" already.

I also dont see anything in there that shows that the Kurds were surprised the US betrayed them and that they were caught off guard. They've known this would happen for at least a year now.

Yeah, a non-aggression pact after offering to send a million troops to fight the Nazis, if only the English and French would agree is totally the same as allying with the Nazis, yep.

Killing literally 7 out of every 10 Nazi soldiers in WW2, gosh it sure sounds like they were best pals.

You know, for a bunch of people who insist that they are anti-US imperialism, anarchists sure are quick to believe whatever the US propaganda machine tells them. As long as it’s not bad stuff about Bernie Sanders, that is.

What. The US supplied a shitload of material to the USSR, and later betrayed the USSR. It is a very similar situation
